Need some back-to-school book ideas for your kids? 📚

The first day of school can feel exciting and a little scary. Books are such a wonderful way to help children process big feelings, ease worries, and get ready for new beginnings. 💛

Here are a few of our favorites to share with your child:

🎒 The Invisible String Backpack – a comforting reminder that love and connection are always with us, even at school.
🦕 How Do Dinosaurs Go to School? – a playful, silly take on what to do (and not do!) at school.
🌱 Fresh Start – encourages kids that every day is a chance to begin again. (recommended for grades 3-7)
🍎 Off to Kindergarten – a sweet story that helps children imagine what the first day might look like.

💬 Try reading one together before the big day to spark conversation and help your child feel more prepared.

� Avoiding or resisting school
� Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
� Withdrawing from friends or activities

📚✨ Back-to-School Confidence Boost ✨📚

The start of a new school year can bring big feelings—excitement, worry, curiosity, or all three at once! One simple way to help your child feel prepared and confident is to fill their environment with affirmations.

💛 Tape them to the bathroom mirror.
💛 Slip one into their lunchbox
💛 Post them by the front door.
💛 Stick them to their bedroom wall.

When children see and hear affirmations daily, they begin to believe them:

🌟 “I am brave.”
🌟 “I can try new things.”
🌟 “Mistakes help me learn.”
🌟 “I am loved no matter what.”

Little reminders, in little places, can make a big difference in helping your child carry calm, courage, and self-worth into the classroom.
