Change can be hard to deal with for many of our kids.  It seems just as they start to get into the swing of summer the back to school ads get started.  Although many of our kids actually seem to be more content with the structure of the school year it may still be difficult for them to switch back to school mode.  Preparation is key for any transition issues.  Slowly put them back on their school sleeping schedule.  Gradually have them do some reading if they blew it off all summer.  Make an excuse to pick something up at their school just to get them in the building before the first day.  Sometimes having them actually go to the school can help ease the anxiety of walking in on that first day.
