August is Back to School Month
The 21-22 school year is beginning. This can be a time of anxiety and fear for many. Starting a new grade or at a new school brings many uncertainties. Uncertainty is a part of life. Rather than fear new experiences, learn to manage your anxious thoughts. Practice expressing your fears out loud or on paper. Journal, write letters, or share your feelings and frustrations with people you trust. Find new and positive ways to look at the changes ahead. You will get through this and be a stronger, wiser person on the other side.
August is Family Fun Month and Getting Ready for Kindergarten Month
It's important for parents to know that helping your children grow up emotionally-healthy does not require an advanced degree.

Giving them structure, encouragement, pointing out their strengths, and openly showing them your unconditional love will go far in them becoming healthy-mature adults. If you're struggling as a parent, don't be afraid to ask for help. Programs like Appleseed’s SPARK program or your local Help-Me-Grow program are designed to help you be successful.
