Question: How do I keep from being scared on the first day of school?
Answer : A lot of kids are nervous or
afraid about starting school, especially if it's a new school. But the more you prepare, the better you'll feel on that first day. First, stock up on supplies -- fill your
backpack with pencils, paper, and everything else you'll need for class. Then pick out a special outfit for the first day. You could wear a shirt or jewelry from your summer vacation to remind you of good times, or start breaking in those new back-to-school shoes. Pack a healthy, tasty
lunch the night before, and make sure to get enough
sleep. Check out KidsHealth for more great tips on going
back to school and getting along with
