How to Help Your Child Get Motivated in School
Helpful Books
Parents may feel nervous about having their son or daughter begin a new school year. Either moving to a new school, new teachers and classrooms or being separated from work can be really challenging. As a parent it can be difficult to see your child experience these new changes.
I encourage you to take a look at some of these books with your child if your son or daughter is facing difficulty beginning the new school year.
