PROCESSING

School is school, just like work is work, but when there’s been a hiatus, and when certain parts of it are new, there is always emotional processing going on.

Just as you ask your child for facts -- about their teacher, classmates, and subject -- ask them about their feelings. Then listen. Provide support and perspective as needed. A comment such as, “I hate school,” should be investigated. It may turn out, as happened to me once with a little one, that lunch served that day had been “yuchy,” though everything else, once pursued, appeared to have been keen.

If you precede this with “How are you feeling about your new teacher?” you will get a chance to experience level of your child’s ability to express their emotions, and can help him or her sort them through, which is invaluable. Make emotional-expression vocabulary a part of your child’s learning experience. Children as young as 3 can learn to respond (when having a tantrum):

“Are you angry?” ”Yes.” “Can you tell me why?” I’m frustrated.”

IT’S MORE THAN GETTING A’S

As you get into first weeks, check and see how your child is doing in their social adjustment. Friends and being able to get along make such a difference in their self-esteem, happiness, and ability to function well at school. A’s are important, but children with higher emotional intelligence and better interpersonal relationships tend to do better academically.

With patience on your part, and instruction, and passage of time, much of turmoil will subside. Before you know it, you’ll all be settled into new routine!

*Persistence Practicing affirmations with persistence achieves results much sooner than practicing them periodically.Successive sessions will have a compounding effect.

*Belief You don't necessarily have to believe your affirmation initially, in order for it to work. Belief will grow with your forthcoming successes. What you do need is ability to *feel* what it would be like when desire you're affirming is fulfilled, or your need met. Every time that you have a need -and that need is met -a certain "feeling" is produced in you. Simply evoke that same feeling when you state your affirmation. That is, you need to feel with every fiber of your being that what you desire has already happened. Without this feeling, your affirmation is powerless.

*Impress Yourself Personalize your affirmations. They must *resonate* with you feel right for you. The stronger your connection with affirmation, deeper impression it makes on your mind and sooner you will experience positive results.

So there you have it - simple formula for creating affirmations that work. Based on above, you can easily create your own affirmations to manifest any desire or need you have in life.
