Back to School for Parents and Caregivers
By Alan Marzilli, Senior Writer, Advocates for Human Potential, Inc.
Back to school isn’t difficult just for students. Parents and caregivers also face challenges when their children and teens return to school. Getting everyone dressed, fed, and out the door on time may create tension on a daily basis, especially with teens who have trouble getting out of bed. Any stress that students are feeling in school are usually reflected in their emotions at home. And the costs of clothing, school supplies, sports equipment, and computers create very real economic pressure for most families.
