I can be brave about Johnny/Joanie/ Hayley going back to school (wine can help).

My child will be so proud that I am coping with this (my child couldn’t care less and really has enough concerns about going back of his or her own to worry about).

![]() This week little Johnny/Joanie/Hayley is going back to school (even though I am in denial). ![]() This makes me feel a little nervous (I have been having school nightmares for weeks and I think my hair may be falling out) I can be brave about Johnny/Joanie/ Hayley going back to school (wine can help). I can prepare the teachers with a little write up (plus multiple meetings, emails, and a bribe if necessary) I can prepare by purchasing school supplies (and cutting the tags off all the most comfortable clothes I could find, laminating visuals, purchasing sensory equipment, preparing multiple social stories and upping my medications). ![]() My friends and family will be so proud that I am coping with this (when and if that day ever comes, right now they are barely tolerating my rantings). My child will be so proud that I am coping with this (my child couldn’t care less and really has enough concerns about going back of his or her own to worry about). ![]() I will be so proud of myself for coping (if I manage to let go of the back of my child’s coat with out school staff having to intervene I will reward myself with a martini and a whole cake). ![]() It is going to be a great year (it probably will be but I will still be like this again next September ☺ ).

Charlene, I try the 3 Cs for calming myself down. Cake, cocktail and cat cuddling. You can substitute with a cute dog :)
