Children and parents often look forward to the dawn of a new school year. But before the first homeroom session can take place, parents may need to take their students clothes shopping.

Children experience many firsts as they make their way through infancy and into childhood. Parents often remember their child’s first word and the day they took their first step, as both are major milestones in youngsters’ lives.

As children head back to school, they and their parents have lots to do to be ready for the first days of school. Clothing and supplies may be top priorities, but families also should focus on safety as the first day of school draws close.

Keep your secrets to yourself this year. Use the element of surprise to help get what you want. It's better to be the one in charge. Play your cards close to your chest and enjoy the benefits of coming out on top.

Look past clutter and chaos and gravitate toward peace and steady progress. Choose to focus on personal growth, and start investing in yourself and your future.

New opportunities will help you stabilize your life. If you act on impulse or become impatient, you'll sabotage your chance to reach your full potential this year.

What you do for others this year will speak volumes about your integrity and ability to make things happen. Maintaining equilibrium and sharing with people who have as much to offer as you will lead to your success.
