10 Back to School Tips by Lucy Jo Palladino, Ph.D
Lucy Jo Palladino, Ph.D., a psychologist with 25 years experience. She helps people improve their attention skills. She was Principal Investigator of a federal research grant and served on the clinical faculty of the University of Arizona Medical School. She is the author of  Dreamers, Discoverers & Dynamos, a book that is helping people change the way they think about Attention Deficit Disorder.

I had the good fortune to hear her speak to a workshop of special education teachers on the very important skills needed to "focus ... give attention" and help a child that is feeling distress. She has a center that advances the use of focus skills.

In her new website http://www.fearlessfocus.com/ she shares ten tips that parents may be helped by at the start of the school year ... having to do with "bringing fearless focus," and more ...  

Top 10 Back to School Tips for Parents
1. Make a new start.
2. Allow for stress.
3. Support your child AND his new teacher.
4. Listen, don't lecture.
5. Accept your child's unique style.
6. Stay patient and positive.
7. Establish good homework habits early.
8. Set do-able goals.
9. Smile when you say good bye! 
10. Keep your perspective

These are the headings of her ten tips. You may go to her website to read the explanatory information as well. This can be good information to share with parents and other significant care providers for the children in your class.
