When Kids Go Back to School, It Can Be

Hard On Parents, Too

By Susan Bartell, U.S. News & World Report AS THE SUMMER WINDS down, there's much focus – including in advertising – on how elated parents surely feel about kids returning to school. In my real-life experience, however, the emotions of a great many parents more closely resemble sadness, anxiety and even resentment. The long daylight hours with no homework and few structured activities give parents a break from working late into the night to help a child finish a project, study for a test or bake cupcakes. The start of school means getting back to all of that, not to mention the need for increased vigilance with things like sticking to a regular bedtime. One mom, Emily – a patient of mine whose last name I’m not using to protect her privacy – summed it up perfectly: “I so much prefer the mother I am in the summer," she says. "I listen to my kids, instead of cutting them off because it’s bedtime. I participate in activities with them, rather than driving them to activities, and I barely ever yell. There’s really nothing to upset me!” The transition for kids can be equally difficult, which also presents a challenge for parents. Of course, some children love returning to the structure and built-in social opportunities school provides. But for others – especially older kids with heavier workloads, or children with academic or social challenges – starting the school year can trigger significant anxiety. This can result in trouble sleeping, bad moods or other negative behavior that parents must contend with. As a parent, feeling emotionally strong and ready to take on challenges is important as the school year begins. This emotional strength begins by recognizing that negative feelings are completely understandable. It's stressful to jump back into homework and resume a schedule that's jam-packed with activities. Regardless of what TV ads try to convince you, it's also normal to feel sad about giving up the emotional connectedness with kids that the summer break offers parents. If we dig even deeper, many parents (myself included) feel a touch of sadness at the start of each school year, because it brings a child closer to adulthood – a time when parenting is redefined into a much smaller role. Understanding all these feelings gives one the opportunity to make changes that will mitigate them. Start by really focusing on what you will miss about summer, and work towards preserving it as much as possible. For example, if you love the time to just hang out with your kids without pressure, build this into your life. Designate weekend time, or even a couple

of times each month, to play board games or go for a walk. Look for activities that elicit the same feelings as the beach and the playground. Seek out indoor play areas, or just bundle up and go outside. Refrain from discussing stressful topics or using the time to catch up on homework. The activities may be different in cooler weather, but the time spent together will make you and your child just as happy. If summer makes you feel like a better version of yourself as a parent, nothing should stop you from working on being that person year-round. In fact, I recommend working toward that goal! It’s primarily about achieving a new perspective. The reason you might be calmer or not yell as much in the summer is because there is nothing "serious" to get so upset about. Ask yourself the following question each time you are about to yell at, reprimand or lose your temper with your child: "Will I achieve any meaningful, positive change?” I can safely say that your answer will always be “no,” because yelling doesn’t change children in the long-term. Although it's important to keep your child on track during the school year, there is no behavior so serious or egregious as to warrant compromising your relationship with your child. Rather, hold onto the more relaxed, less frustrated summer parent that still lives within you. Recognize that your relationship with your child is always much more important than any behaviors you are trying to change. This perspective, and the bond it nurtures between you and your child, will carry you right through until next summer.

FOR ALL PARISHIONERS

GRATEFUL HEART ~ GIVING HEART

Last week we talked about Pope Francis leading a live of simplicity. In Susan Vogt’s excellent book, Blessed by Less: Clearing Your Life of Clutter by Living Lightly she suggests ways we all can live more simply in the spirit of Pope Francis. Vogt’s strategies for living more

simply include the following:

eliminating clutter and excess possessions consuming less limiting time spent on social media giving away possessions simplifying your wardrobe limiting buying habits making fewer purchases eating out less and brown-bagging it more buying second-hand spending more time in nature Purchasing fair-trade products

St. Ignatius of Loyola insisted that one of the keys to spiritual wellness is detachment from the things and worries of this world that might distract us from pursuing our ultimate purpose in life, which is to deepen our relationship with God. A Church on the move needs to unload a lot of the excess baggage that is weighing us down and slowing us down.*

19 de agosto del 2018 ¿De qué manera podemos descubrir el plan de Dios en nuestras vidas? ¿De qué manera los parroquianos del sagrado Corazón pueden poner sus dones al servicio de la comunidad? En nuestra parroquia consideramos que estas son algunas de las preguntas claves en las cuales usted debe meditar para convertirse en discípulo y misionero de Cristo. Dentro de unas semanas la iglesia del Sagrado Corazón realizara una encuesta en la cual nos gustaría saber su opinión sobre algunos aspectos de la vida de la parroquia. La encuesta será realizada por una compañía que se llama Gallup, esta es una compañía especializada en analizar y estudiar las opiniones de las personas de una forma general. ¿Porque contratar una compañía cuando podemos únicamente escuchar su opinión? Porque a través de ella podremos tener una visión más amplia y global de su sentir. Nos gustaría aclarar que sus respuestas serán totalmente confidenciales y anónimas. La compañía Gallup no revelara sus respuestas con nadie. Después de recibir las respuestas de la compañía, los sacerdotes y un comité de personas de la parroquia, iniciaremos un dialogo para analizar cuál es la mejor forma de cumplir la misión de la parroquia. Vale aclarar que en esta encuesta únicamente participaran personas de 18 años en adelante, no se permiten que los menores de edad participen en esto. Por favor recuerde que su respuesta es clave para el éxito de este proceso. La encuesta se realizara el 15 y 16 de septiembre, si usted por algún motivo no puede asistir a misa este fin de semana, le comunicamos que la encuesta estará disponible del 1 de Septiembre hasta el 30 de Septiembre, lo único que usted tiene que hacer es buscar en nuestra página electrónica www.sacredheartwdm.org también tendremos volantes con información en la escuela y la oficina de la parroquia. Realizar esta encuesta significa mucho para nuestra parroquia. A través de esta queremos descubrir cuál es la voluntad de Dios para nuestras vidas en la actualidad y también en el futuro. Queremos saber cuál es el siguiente paso a seguir para construir reino de Dios. Su opinión será de gran ayuda poder hacer cambios sustanciales en la vida de nuestra parroquia, En Jesucristo Padre Chris Harthorn Párroco
