I feel a little more pressure than normal about working with the kids this summer since DS will skip 1st for 2nd next year. I was told to work on time & money which he pretty much gets but not sure what else would help. I work part time so he & DD write a few sentences for me about their day when I get home & we're trying to read together.

How did you prepare your child to bump up a grade? Educational and social tips- what helped get them ready?. And what did they say to their friends? What did you say to your friends?

He has really wanted to take karate so we're letting him try that this fall in hopes that will help with some self control and added confidence.
