Back-to-school season should be a time of giddy excitement, right? Kids and their families should be busy with preparation, eagerly counting down the days.
Back-to-school season should be a time of giddy excitement, right? Kids and their families should be busy with preparation, eagerly counting down the days.
Yet behind the hustle and bustle are the kids who are dreading every minute until the first bell rings.
Why? Because they’re carrying adult-sized burdens that are just too big for their shoulders. When families face challenges like mental illness, addiction, and financial stress, kids unfairly suffer.
Without the right supplies, they feel less than their peers. When worries about affording food keep them up at night, they have a hard time concentrating in class. When their parents are weighed down by stress and illness, they try not to be a bother and start bottling everything up.
And it all just keeps weighing them down, eventually shattering their self-confidence and forcing them to fall behind in school… and in life.
But it doesn’t have to be this way—because, thankfully, there’s you.
