I've just returned from doing a few errands with my daughter and was a bit shocked to see all the BACK TO SCHOOL "stuff" out in stores. It's not even August for goodness sake.
It's so easy to get swept up in the 'future' and become disengaged from the RIGHT NOW. If you want to think about your child going back to school then that's fine...in fact I love the new site up by PTO: back2school2007.com. BUT...do your own organization and planning rather than jazzing your child up about their upcoming classes, responsibilities, etc.
Live in the summer when it's summer.
Prepare YES ... but celebrate the NOW.
