Yikes! It's Due Tomorrow?!: How to Handle School Snafus is a parent's reference guide to answers of how to handle your grade-school child's "crises" or mishaps that can be done so easily without muddling through an encyclopedia.
After the first school bell rings, what if my friend is in a different classroom or if I don't like my teacher or I get lost at school? Answers are given to these valid grade-school problems by first giving parents an insight into children's thought processes and then following up with Insider tips and creative ways to work out these problems for young children from a former elementary school teacher and parent, Carmella Van Vleet.
For example, Carmella Van Vleet suggests that when a child is having trouble getting lost in the school building to help the child draw a map, depending on the age of your child, and use a variety of games such as "counting" the steps to get to different locations in the building. This will give the child a sense of distance from one classroom to another and diminish their fears and trauma. Another trying problem for children are bullies-those who are or those being bullied. Excellent information on this topic. These are just a couple of issues addressed, among many helpful tips.
Other real life snafus your child may experience:
** being late for school
** classroom situations
** academic issues
** playground problems
** homework issues
** miscellaneous
Excellent common-sense advice for helping your child with problems that arise in growing up in the school environment. It is a refresher course for parents on handling homework issues, friendship questions, common phobias, gifts to give a school teacher, and parent-teacher conferences help. Easy-to-use practical parental tips in a fun and humorous way.
Summary: Great book
Rating: 5
This is a great book for those of us with school-aged kids. My first child started school this year and I am so glad to have a book like this. This book covers such a wide range of issues, from riding the bus to not getting along with a teacher, to being afraid to use the bathroom....and issues I have never even thought of. I'm finding this book helpful to me to look forward to potential problems and already have some ideas of how to cope with them. I even got this years teachers' Christmas presents from the last page of the book. I definately reccommend this book to everyone with kids in school.
