Parents.com - an online magazine that gives advice on parenthood - has provided tips for dealing with separation anxiety and helping younger students achieve success in school.
Children who attend school for the first time may be nervous about leaving home, but the magazine has offered suggestions that may help parents ease the transition. Moms and dads can prepare their kids by playing pretend school or introducing them to classmates before the first day. They are also advised to say a quick goodbye and avoid lingering when they leave their child in the classroom.
The magazine has also provided information on packing a healthy lunchbox. Parents can go to the website for recipes and snack ideas such as veggies and hummus, sweet potato chips or nutty popcorn.
Fashion advice on trendy backpacks and school supplies is also available, along with back-to-school tips on making sure the child has a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast.
Parents magazine editor-in-chief Dana Points said that the information will be useful, "whether your child is entering preschool for the first time or moving to a higher grade in elementary school."
