School’s back, and so are the nerves, the chaos, and the questions. The Pals sit down with counselor Amy to talk about everything from first-day jitters to keeping kids focused once the new pencil smell wears off. How much help is too much help? When do you step in, and when do you let them figure it out? This episode is all about finding that sweet spot between being supportive and being a full-on helicopter parent—because let’s be honest, we’ve all hovered a little too close at drop-off.
