Teachers know that students are anxious and will make an extra effort to make sure everyone feels as comfortable as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Point out the positive aspects of starting school: It will be fun. She&#8217;ll see old friends and meet new ones. Refresh her positive memories about previous years, when she may have returned home after the first day with high spirits because she had a good time.<\/li>\n<li>Find another child in the       neighborhood with whom your youngster can walk to school or ride with on       the bus.<\/li>\n<li>If you feel it is appropriate,       drive your child (or walk with her) to school and pick her up on the first       day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>BACKPACK  SAFETY<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Choose a       backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back.<\/li>\n<li>Pack light. Organize the backpack to use all of its compartments. Pack heavier items closest to the center of the back. The backpack should never weigh more than 10 to 20 percent of the your child\u2019s body weight.<\/li>\n<li>Always use       both shoulder straps. Slinging a backpack over one shoulder can strain       muscles.<\/li>\n<li>Consider a rolling backpack. This type of backpack may be a good choice for students who must tote a heavy load. Remember that rolling backpacks still must be carried up stairs, and they may be difficult to roll in snow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a title=\"Comment on It\u2019s back to school time!\" href=\"..\/..\/ksc\/2010\/08\/15\/its-back-to-school-time\/#respond\"><\/a> It is that time of year again when students of all ages get ready for the first day of school.\u00a0 Here are some tips to assist with the \u201cback to school\u201d transition and hopefully great start to the new school year.
