...school, other things in his life will fall into place. Peter Sheras, a clinical psychologist who works with families as they struggle through school transitions, suggests that the best way to deal with the anxiety of that first day is to get your kids--no matter what age--inside their new school before it opens. Teachers are often happy to meet a student during those pre-opening days. At the very least, a careful look around school may prevent the mortification of getting lost on the first day.

But if you demonstrate the desire to get involved in the school community, chances are your child will too. Attend that first PTA meeting or contact members who have children close in age to yours.

For that reason, many experts suggest that men (of all races) should perform self-examinations monthly, starting at age 15. The best time to do this is after a warm shower, when the scrotum is relaxed and soft. The danger signs include a hard, painless lump attached to the testicles or, less commonly, testicular enlargement or scrotal swelling. Probing their testicles, even gently, may not be high on most...
