Navigating the Summer-Fall Transition: A Parent's Guide to Staying Ahead
It's a sunny summer afternoon, and you're juggling vacation plans while your kids are eagerly engaged in their summer activities. As you're packing for your long-awaited family getaway, you glance at the calendar and realize the school year is just around the corner. Panic sets in as you recall the multiple school emails you've been meaning to sort through. It's a delicate balance between soaking up the last rays of summer and prepping for the flurry of fall activities.
The Real Parent Struggle
We've all been there—caught between the joy of summer freedom and the looming responsibilities of a new school year.
