Did you know 55 percent of parents whose children did not have underwear and socks to wear said their children wanted to skip school or refused to go to school because they were embarrassed by not having any? That's why this back-to-school season, JCPenney going to Pair Up with the Y to provide kids in-need with basic undergarments.
Those 7 AM alarm rings and sack lunch-prepping days are on the horizon. Ah, yes, back-to-school season has snuck up on us once again. And although you might be dreading hitting the crowded malls, consider shopping for a cause instead of tossing things into your cart. During this back-to-school season, JCPenney is doing something big to help close the academic achievement gap—with your help.
The issue: Many children across the U.S. go to school without basic needs like socks and underwear. When kids don’t have these items, they often feel insecure, embarrassed, and end up missing school altogether. This back-to-school season, Pair Up JCPenney and the Y, to ensure all kids have what they need to succeed.
It's Back to School time and this means your child gets to be exposed to all kinds of goodies like- the flu, stomach viruses and head lice. Head lice are horrible little parasites that infest the heads of children and adults everywhere. These bugs don't care who you are, where you are from, or how clean your body and hair is - actually they prefer clean hair because it is easier to attach to. These nasty things just need your blood to survive. They live on the scalps because it is warm and humid and can live on the head for about 30 days and lay up to 8 eggs a day.
Lice do not jump or fly - they crawl from one head to another. Children are more infected than adults because they have more head to head contact in places such as schools and day cares. Spreading of lice occurs when the person with head lice shares brushes, combs, hair ties or on towels and backpacks.
As a grandmother of 2 school age grandchildren that live with me, I was so excited to review the Lice Good-Bye products from Fairy Tales Hair Care. Fairy Tales sent me these 4 products pictured below:
