Making Friends, and Keeping School Fun for Your Kids

If you have a young one just starting school, what a terrific opportunity to get them off onto the right footing as you teach them to enjoy going to school and regard it as play, not work.

Doing this can simply be a case of approaching each new day with a little extra enthusiasm yourself. If you can help your child go to school looking forward to the day rather than allowing them to pick up a bad habit that so many of us adults have, the "I hate Mondays" syndrome, then you will be potentially giving them a gift for life!

Friends can be a very special part of your child's school life, so if your child is a little shy or needs some help making friends, you might want to check out Monicka's tips:
