Coping With Back to School Anxieties

- Familiarizing Young Children Through Photo Books -

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- It's that happy time of year
again. But in reality, back to school is anything but happy for many young
ones, who after summer break, aren't familiar with the school setting and end
up facing each weekday with fear and anxiety. In such cases, this year's back
to school plan should include Picaboo photo books (http://www.picaboo.com) --
DIY story books that can take unknown territory, like the school bus,
classroom and homeroom teacher, and place them into a familiar, comfortable,
even fun zone.
Whether a youngster is entering school for the first time, changing
schools or just not comfortable on campus after summer break, many kids have
more stress getting back into the groove of school than they care to admit.
That's why Picaboo has created an option for parents to easily make a "Back to
School" photo book using its free downloadable software.
Back to School Photo Book Idea Center
To help pique creativity and set direction for "Back to School" photo
books, Picaboo offers advice and sample albums within its "Autumn Idea Center"
(http://www.picaboo.com/ideacenter/autumn/). Once digital photos are taken of
the new classroom, cafeteria and so on, a photo book can be created in minutes
using an "Auto-create" feature, or artistic aspirations are indulged with
hundreds of page layouts, thousands of page backgrounds, numerous fonts and
text colors.
Photo captions, stories and scanned memorabilia can easily accompany the
photos -- creating a personal book and intimate experience for both parent and
child.
Pricing starts at just $9.99 for an 8x6" 20-page soft cover photo book,
and spans to $49.99 for an 8.5x11" 20-page hard cover padded leather photo
book. Shipping is additional. Once made, Picaboo photo books can also be
easily shared online free of charge.
