Here are 5 back-to-school tips from three “parenting experts” who are siblings. They wrote these tips that are excerpted from Please Listen Up, Parents when they were 21, 18 and 15 years-old.
- If we really don’t want the latest lunchbox, let it go – we are trying to be cool.
- Get us into a routine before school starts – even if we say we hate going to sleep early.
- As much as we love fast food, please plan our dinners at home for the first week of school so we have time to discuss our days face-to-face at the dinner table (having a family meal together on a regular basis would be awesome).
- Do not make it a bigger deal than it is – we respond to how you react to situations, please don’t freak us out.
- We are trying to figure new stuff out at the beginning of the year. We appreciate your interest and questions, but we might not know all the answers yet.
