This is the time of year when most kids start feeling butterflies in their stomachs, as they anticipate summer ending a new school year beginning.
Parents everywhere are cheering. Kids are beginning to become nervous and anxious. What could be causing all this commotion? Why...it is the end of summer vacation, of course. Back to school is right around the corner.
Families will start setting routines by having kids go to bed earlier at night to prepare for the early wake up hours for school. Shopping sprees are winding down, if you started early.
