The big day is almost here, and it's normal for both kids AND parents to feel all the emotions! Here are some game-changing tips from child psychiatrists:

✅ Start practicing the school routine a few weeks early
✅ Let them pick out their backpack and first-day outfit
✅ Visit the classroom beforehand if possible
✅ Practice those independence skills (zipping, opening lunch boxes, bathroom trips!)
✅ Keep conversations about school positive and exciting

Remember: tough drop-offs are totally normal. Stay calm, validate their feelings, create a sweet goodbye routine, and remind them you'll be back soon! https://bit.ly/3HDLhcV
