School days, school days, good old Golden Rule days. The rules of school seem pretty second nature to Tigger, Pooh, Darby, and the Hundred Acre Wood gang -- things like play nice, lend a friend a hand, share your honey. But a critter has to learn his or her ABCs and 123s, right?

Like the woodland pals, your little one is gearing up for school -- a little nervous, a lot excited -- and looks to you to cheer them on and give them a boost of confidence. Carve out a couple of hours the day or week before school begins and help your little super sleuth prepare for what's to come. If you want to make it a party, invite a few of your preschooler-to-be's friends or some kids from the neighborhood.
