When your young child is about to start school, and is worried or anxious, here's what you can do:
				Establish the "school routine" a few days before school actually starts: lay out clothing the night before, get up early, go to bed at a scheduled time. Encourage your child to go to school with a buddy so the day starts out being comfortable and familiar. Use dolls or action figures to "play school" and act out getting up in the morning, waiting for the school bus and being in the classroom.
					Remember: We all want to be better parents - but kids don't come with an instruction manual.

			If your child wants everything advertised on TV for the upcoming holidays, here's what you can do:
				Encourage your child to make a huge wish list--but use this list as an opportunity to explain that we all want many things--but we can't always have them all Discuss the items on the list, and help your child prioritize, based on the pros and cons of each item. Help your child make wish lists for other members of the family to help develop the spirit of giving, not just getting.
