August is hot and stormy. Many siblings have been crammed together for months, sharing hotel rooms, swim floats, and negotiating that last Popsicle. Everyone is anxious about the start of school. When kids are worried, they get irritable. When parents are worried, they get short-fused.
We cannot overstate the anxiety in families about a new school year. The preschoolers are anxious. The college students are anxious. The poor kindergarteners are a mess. The 6th-grade mothers are terrified that the mean girls will bully their daughters, and they may have to relive the pain of junior high again.
