I don’t!
Need this advice.

I have one summer kid, 2 middle of school year and 1 right after cut off who I’d give anything to be able to send next year.
When my oldest (going into 9th, June bday) was around that age, I had SO many people giving me their opinions to hold him back. He was so smart and ready, I just couldn’t imagine not sending him. I’m so glad I didn’t listen to others and sent him. He makes straight As and is now HUGE. I can’t imagine him going into 8th grade with the size he is now.
My advice is go with your mama gut and don’t listen to everyone else. You’ll know what’s right for your kiddo.

We ONLY allow for sleepovers with friends/families that we are super close to, know, love and trust. I’m especially particular for my girls. Late overs are definitely the new “it” thing and I just tell my kids they’ll get a better night sleep in their own bed anyways

Agree with other mamas. They are beyond pooped those first few weeks. Those that don’t normally nap can be found falling asleep after those first few days from the mental and physical excitement overload. There’s a sweet tip out there about putting a heart on their hand and your hand and letting them know if they ever miss you throughout the day to touch the heart. I think it’s so sweet. I would also set the tone that it’s only for maybe the first week of school, because a year of that might get tough

Don’t forget to take time to celebrate YOU too! Maybe a pedicure or massage that first week back!
