AN IMPORTANT YEAR

 The first year of school is so important. Kids need to enjoy the experience, develop confidence in themselves and with all whom they interact. They have so much to learn in such a short time.
 

It's really important that they have family who will listen and support them - sometimes pretty hard when there's a bunch of other kids at home, maybe Dad's after a promotion and Mum's trying to do a part-time job. Of course the extended family can also be helpful. It's quite amazing what they tell their grandparents as they walk to and from school. It's OK LJ, what happens on the walk to school stays on the walk to school!
Values are passed on to young children by parents, teachers and schoolmates. What a privilege to be part of this young guy's development. What proud grandparents.
