If you aren\u2019t aware, I\u2019m a parenting journalist and my articles appear every month in parenting publications around the U.S. and Canada. This month you can bridge the back-to-school transition and overcome a variety of school year issues thanks to the hints and tips I\u2019ve gathered from experts in these eight articles:

By now you probably have your kids\u2019 backpacks all stocked. But if you\u2019re still hunting down that one last illusive school supply, check out my article: \u201cSchool Supplies: Hard to Find? Where to Look\u201d in the August issue of Volusia Parent<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having a hard time getting kids dressed and out the door because of wardrobe issues? Read \u201cGood Kids, Bad Outfits\u201d in MetroKids<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if those issues (or others) stem from a bit of fastidiousness on the part of your child, learn how to bring out the best and stem off the challenges of this personality trait in \u201cParenting a Perfectionist\u201d in Valley Parent<\/em><\/a>.

Once school gets out for the day what are your kids up to? Still struggling to find an after school activity that suits your offspring, then you might want to read, \u201cIt\u2019s a Match\u201d found in Genessee Valley Parent<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the topic of homework. Before you start pulling your hair out during long drawn out study sessions, see what moms and experts advise in \u201cHalt the Homework Hassles\u201d, courtesy of Birmingham Parent<\/em><\/a>.\"1308BirminghamParent\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, and when you\u2019re finally sitting down to dinner together \u2013 after all the schlepping to and from activities and wrangling of homework \u2013 before you ask the standard, \u201cHow was your day at school?\u201d you might want to dip into my \u201cGet the Words Flowing\u201d article offering 21 alternative questions for dinnertime conversation in Space Coast Parent<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stressing out about sports and your kids’ future in athletics? I offer a bit of perspective in my essay, “Good Enough is Good Enough” on page 10 of Family Times Magazine<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, and just for grins, do some reminiscing while you compare and contrast your school days with those of your kids as I share the differences in \u201cSchool Then and Now\u201d in August\u2019s issue of The Parent Notebook<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Happy School Year 2013! Make this the best one yet. And make the most of each and every day!<\/p>\n
