This week we're coming in hot with a legitimate timeline for how to get your kid ready for the new school year. Last week we shared our thoughts and predictions for the post-pandemic school year; this week, we're translating all of that into actionable steps.

Like Amanda said: "I will not have a single backpack ready for my children, but I will have talked to them about all their anxiety and excitement for the school year because I sat down and did this. I'm thrilled."

Taking into account that every kid is different, handles situations differently, and has had their own personal experiences of life during the pandemic, we share how to find out how your kid is feeling about going back to school and how to prepare them while also letting them enjoy the summer. This year it'll be a bit different than usual but don't worry, we've got you covered.

Head over to our Facebook or Instagram page (@VirginiaFamilyTherapy) and let us know what steps you'll be taking. We always love hearing from you!
