An indication that summer is almost over are the numerous "back to school" sales. In preparing children for returning to school, or attending school for the first time, parents spend countless hours shopping for new school clothes, shoes and booking last minute haircuts. While having children dressed appropriately and looking neat and clean should not be overlooked, we must not forget the importance of psychologically preparing children for school. Special attention is required, for instance, when children enter day care, preschool, kindergarten, or high school for the first time. When attending a new school because of relocations or transfers, children will naturally' feel more nervous and apprehen- sive and may well need additional support. 'l'he following are some general guidelines in helping your child adjust to the school setting: • Have a positive attitude toward school, teachers and learning. It is important for your child's academic progress that you reinforce the beneficial aspects of assignments. • School roust not be depicted is important. Stories may include •':Vly teacher hates roe, she's so stupid, nobody likes me". Rather than denying it, listen carefully to your children and respond with comments as "heaven" where everything is perfect. A child generally does not perceive homework to be fun. 1)o, however, take a realistic posi- tion, with statements such as, "There will be teachers and school work that you will like and some you won't like but you must complete the assignment and try your best." • It is very important to understand that the child has spent approximately eight weeks with different routines and lack of academic pressure. Changing schedules and routines generally requires some adjustment time without tempers flying and negative verbal exchanges. • Understanding and respecting your child's perceptions like, "It must be difficult in class" or "You had a tough day in school to- day." Quite frequently children merely want assurance that you understand school can be difficult. • Monitor your child's progress and take an active interest in school work, homework, projects, etc. Be there to support and en- courage your child. • It is particularly important to remember that most of the academic tasks children learn in school are easy - for adults - but not necessarily for children. Helping children in a calm, supportive manner is essential to their academic, social and emotional development. For all children and adolescents, time, understanding and good communication are essential in providing a framework for a successful, productive, enriching and happy school year. Rail service goes forward The future of rail service in midwestern Ontario took a positive step forward on August 27 when CN, CP Rail, Transport Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Transpor- tation, Project ReRail and the consulting firm of Peat Marwick and Partners took the first steps in analysing the business op- portunities for continued rail service. The former consulting firm is internationally respected for its expertise in transporta- tion and business studies. The $100,000 plus study, financed jointly by the two levels of government, is in response to the proposed service oriented rail system advanced by Project ReRail, an Owen Sound -based citizens interest group headed by Peter Bowers, Project Coordinator. In related development, the Canadian Transport Commission has re -affirmed the importance of continued rail service on CN's Stratford -Owen Sound line by deny- ing CN's request for a review to reverse the Commission's original decision, thus permitting abandonment. It should also be noted that CN and CP Rail have recently applied to abandon several rail lines in southern and midwestern Ontario and others are under review. Ontario MT(' and Transport Canada have both expressed concern about the doss of branch line rail service and are sup- porting the development of a business plan based upon Project ReRail's regional system initiative, as a test case for regional railroads in Canada.
