For them, the start of school signals the reality that their children are growing up. It is with mixed emotions that we welcome the beginning of this school. With four children, we are definitely looking forward to some sanity in our house, but our oldest daughter, Kalli, will be starting kindergarten. I realize that it will only be for a few hours a day, but it is becoming ever so clear that our children are growing up. I know that you as parents want to do everything in your ability to ensure your child has a successful year, not only as a student but as a Christian.
School is just like every aspect of a child's life.
It can either make them or break them. It's all in how you as parents approach it. Set aside a time in your day for prayer and devotion as a family. Get to know all your child's teachers. Let them know where you stand and that your child's education is important to you.
