As the school year begins, it can be a nervous time for some of our students for all sorts of reasons. This can also be the case for some of our parents too. This episode addresses the issues that might occur when starting school, from a parent's perspective,  whether it be for the first time, a new school or a new year. Rob Jessup and Anna Chandler are both parents that have children in both the Primary and Secondary School. This year, they have one starting Kindergarten and Year 7 respectively. They share their concerns, good advice and experience as they get ready for what is ahead. I hope you enjoy the conversation and find it to be helpful.

Today we're checking in to see how the new school year is going. The beginning of the school year can be difficult no matter which way you choose to go with your kids. We are at totally different places in our schooling years. And you, our listeners, may be in a place completely different than we are. Our reason for doing this episode is no matter what way your family chooses to educate your kids, it is hard. It is hard to send them to school. It is hard to keep them home. And when you're done and they grow up, that's hard too. The take away is to enjoy the ride and give yourself grace!Could you do us a big favor before you go? Share our show with a friend.

She has talked to parents and students over the years, but now the CBC's Colleen Connors is the parent of a child heading to school for the first time. She joined us from our studio in Corner Brook to talk about the family milestone.

Too many five-year-olds are starting school unable to speak coherently with some unable to speak in sentences of more than four or five words. The Education Review Office did the research, Ruth Shinoda is from its Education Evaluation Centre and she spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

There are calls for less screen time and more conversations with children before they begin school.  The Education Review Office research reveals too many children are starting school without knowing how to read and write.  More than two-thirds of parents report their child had language difficulties before they started school last year.  Head of ERO's Education Evaluation Centre Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking that parents need to limit device use to boost learning.  She says language is developed by talking to children, and they need to know words before learning to read and write them at school.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is one of the treatments that are offered at the Poppy Clinic, you can receive it as a stand-alone treatment or as part of your holistic health care. IV stands for Intravenous. It is a 40-minute session during which you are administered a customized blend of vitamins intravenously, right into your bloodstream. The advantage of getting your vitamins this way is that the digestive tract is bypassed in order for you to absorb 100% of what you are getting, you are receiving the vitamins directly, and are able to get much higher doses of the vitamins than you would ever be able to get otherwise.   Did you know that 1 of 3 people have a digestive compromise? This means that even if you are eating a great diet or taking all of your vitamins, you might not actually be digesting and absorbing everything. IV Vitamin Therapy is the treatment that helps you absorb 100% of vitamins into your system.   Benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy: - Boost your immune system - Heal from chronic disease - Fight off infections - Boost your mood - Improve sleep quality - Calm your nervous system - Health optimization - Prevention of disease - Anti-aging and collagen production boost   Reach out to the Poppy Clinic!

Hello! With the start of the new school year here in the United States, it seems like so many people are really scrambling to do all the things. Summer is winding down and now people have begun the shopping for school clothes and supplies, preparing for the homeschool year, and then adding new schedules such as sports and youth group, ect.~all the new activities the school year brings. Plus trying to get all of your produce harvested such as canning and freezing and it all can really be a very busy time.  It all adds up and can make you a little overwhelmed.  I totally understand! We have had to say no to several things in the next week because of all that we have going on right now!  My kids love sports and since we homeschool and live 20 minutes from town, it tends to be alot of running with them both being on 2 separate teams. It is a way for them to see their friends every day and If they didn't love it so much, our lives are full in so many other ways, that we probably would have to say no, but for right now, we are making the sacrifice.  We did take a break in the summer as we don't think they need to play year round and we have so many other interests and I'm not really sure where they would have fit that in.   First tip to finding peace in this season is to stop being so hard on yourself - social media and pinterest give us many ideas, but much of what is on there is very unrealistic. Do not make comparisons-there is so much pressure to try to keep up with the world, but you do not need to-give yourself permission to break free from the normal and simplify your life!!!!  You don't have to have the notes in the lunch box every day, or even pack your child's lunch every day if they go to school.  Let them eat hot lunch or if they are old enough, let them make their own lunch.  Just have items on hand and most likely more of it will get eaten if they pack it themselves anyway!!!!!! If you are trying to harvest your garden right now, try to schedule that to do a little each day because that will help with trying to do everything at once.  Once day we froze corn, one day we made green beans, another day pickles, and so on!  Another tip I have shared before with that is my best tomato tip ever…..cut the core out and put in the freezer and make your sauce in the winter.  This has helped me so much with being too overloaded with garden work!   The second tip is to plan the week on sunday evening and have the week at a glance where the whole family can see it.  This helps my family so much!  I have talked about this before, but I just have a monday-sunday magnetic board from the dollar store on my fridge and each week, we write what is going on each day with the times such as games or practices and we also have our meals on there so we always know what needs to come out of the freezer or made ahead of time if we are gone most of the day.  It has become so automatic that my 12 year old daughter that likes to be prepared and organized does the calendar before I even get to it sunday evenings!!!!!  I don't have anywhere in my home for a command center, so this seems to work amazing for our family and it is super simple!   Just remember friend-if you simplify, you are more likely to have more peace and know that you do not have to do everything everyone else is doing.  Everything in your life can change once you learn to step back, slow down and make the decision to take your life back to what matters most.
