The shift from summer freedom to the routines of the classroom can be tricky for students of all ages, and for their parents, too.
Those growing pains often linger well beyond September.
The Brookline Parent Education Network, known as B-PEN, offers a helpful collection of resources to guide families through back-to-school transitions.
Its website includes a range of resources: tip sheets and practical strategies for school-year milestones, designed to help families get off to a good start and keep going strong.
Whether your student is settling into a new schedule, a new building, or a new grade, a few simple strategies can make the adjustment smoother. We encourage you to visit the B-PEN website and explore what is available.
