Should parents accompany their children on their first day of school?

For both parents and kids, the first day of school can be an anxiety-ridden experience. But child psychology experts say parents must know where to draw the line when it comes to accompanying these young students back to school. Though some school-age children may cringe at the thought of such parental oversight, others may rely on it. And according to child psychologists, the approach is probably a completely healthy one. But as a new school year begins, many parents remain unsure as to whether they're doing more good than harm when tagging along with their kid for the first day of class. Still, the practice is a widely accepted one. Indeed, many companies have polices that allow parents to take a day off to accompany their child on their first day of school. It is a policy that the national president of the Parent Teacher Association applauds.
