Erase School Blues

Are you having a hard time getting your little one to go to school in the morning?  Is he/she crying and begging to stay home?  Ask the teacher for the names and phone numbers of some of the kids that she thinks will get along well with your child, then call the parents and start setting up play dates.  Try to plan some activities for the kids to do on the playdates that will be fun and really help them to interact with one another.  That way, your child can anticipate seeing a buddy when he/she goes to school.
