Back to School

We cannot believe the end of summer break is here for our children. In so many ways, the summer has really went by fast. The last few weeks have been extremely hot outside and we did not get to do some of the fun stuff we wanted.
With school starting, this brings a new chapter for many of us. You might be a parent sending off a child to school for the first time, maybe you have your oldest starting jr. high or high school. Remember your kids probably have alot of jitters, just like you do. Take time to speak to them about their day, ask questions and most of all praise them.
"As sunshine is to flowers - so is praise to the hearts of children"

Our top 10 ways to praise your child with words:

1. Excellent Job
2. I love you
3. You figured it out
4. I knew you could do it
5. Super work
6. Awesome
7. What a good listener
8. Beautiful sharing
9. Way to go
10. A+ Job
