Let' talk about the kids for a moment..someone made a good point in an earlier post..it's all about the attitude that the parents show....Kids take their ques from the parents. If you act like it's no big deal...it will be no big deal.
Good point. My sister is really good about staying calm in various situations, but this is one she isn't used to. I think once she feels more comfortable with her preparations it will have a better impact on the kids.
