Back to School Means Time for New Opportunities

Lucy Robertson (aka Mrs Neu) knew that back to school time opened up time for new opportunities. After the strain of getting children (back) into the school routine and the fear of replacing the experience of having to be there for them, there is the opportunity for new experiences. It is true for the stay-at-home mom, for sure, but at the margin it surely is the same for one working outside the home (or a dad). This is is something to keep in mind at this time of year: How schools are an aid to surviving parenthood.

Use your child's embrace of new experiences at school to embrace new opportunities yourself.
