Going Out for Ice Cream

Time for another guest post, folks! Enjoy!

It may seem like a simple thing to do, but taking my kids out for an ice cream cone works wonders on easing their nerves for school. I have two young kids who always get very nervous for school. The anxiety they get is nothing like what we got when we were kids. Since my kids always get nervous, I try to calm them down with soothing activities.

One of the most fun things we do as a family to get ready for school is get ice cream. They love going to the ice cream store and picking out a new flavor of ice cream to try. My kids have made it their sole mission in life to try every flavor of ice cream possible. Before we leave for the ice cream shop, I make sure to set the home security alarm system (more info). This way, my kids can feel that they are out having fun without a mother who is stressing them out!

Getting an ice cream cone is a great way to sit down with kids and make them feel ready for school. I always give my kids a motivating talk for school to get them ready for the rest of the school year. They usually feel very motivated and ready to give it their best at school, even if their grades were not great.
