We live in a polarized country, but there's one thing we all can agree on: the school year is stressful for everyone. The pandemic has turned everything upside down. Kids are back in school after a year of remote learning. Some kids go back and then have to stay home when Covid outbreaks cause their school to close. It's enough to make some kids not want to go to school at all and creates anxiety in parents all across America. But smart parents can allay these fears and create an atmosphere that will make their kids love school no matter what else is going on around them.
