The Avocado Parenting Thread is Thinking About School

Hello fellow parents and caregivers of children!

There are a bunch of new parents here (raises hand) and there are plenty of veteran parents, as well as people who have experience caring or helping to care for children, like teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, and uncles. Coming together will help all of us, whether we need advice, commiseration, or just a space to let it out. Being a caregiver of small humans can be hard, but also rewarding and wonderful, so we can also share in the joys of watching little humans get to be big humans.

Discussion Prompt: Back to School? 

So in the northeast we don’t start school for another month but I understand other places will be starting up soon. Are you/your kids ready for school? Anxious about the new year? Got all your supplies? Does your kid have a generally positive attitude toward school, and if not, how do you help them deal with it?
