Parents throughout Williamson County are busy preparing for back to school. After a summer of endless swimming and riding bikes, bare feet and flip flops, camps, new activities, relaxed mealtimes and bedtimes - the kids are living their best lives, while many parents are beginning to yearn for structure and routine that come with the school calendar. Many of us are sending our children off to a parent’s day out program or preschool, and elementary, middle, high school and even college. Our children are excited for new backpacks, lunch boxes, supplies, school clothes and even dorm room décor… even though, regardless of age, they may be lamenting that summer is drawing to a close.

Parents of young children often face separation issues as they detach from their children at the start of the new school year. Many send their toddlers off to a parent’s day out program for the first time and are longing for a few hours of uninterrupted time to grocery shop, run errands, workout, etc., and it can certainly be a big transition for toddlers and parents alike.
