The years go by so fast, and in a blink of an eye, you may have gotten to this moment. But while it is emotional, it is also a big change and a new chapter for you and your little one. So you may be wondering how to prepare your child for starting school and what you can do. With that in mind, here are some of the things to consider.

It is all about finding a balance while keeping calm in the home.
