NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Sep 19, 2012) - The kids are back in school and that means a very busy routine for the whole family. Terra Wellington, Wellness and Lifestyle Contributor, has some back-to-school stress busters to help increase your family's wellness.

Captain McFinn and Friends is an original series that is the perfect tool for parents, teachers, home-schoolers and caregivers to help teach children ages 4-8 about kindness, friendship and bully prevention. The collection features three hard and soft cover story books, an activity book, a sing-along CD, and multiple digital offerings including a FREE app, an interactive website and ibooks. Additionally, Captain McFinn and Friends is launching an in-school educational program called S.H.A.R.K. Patrol. This comprehensive program includes everything needed to educate K-3 students about bully prevention. Everything can be found on www.captainmcfinn.com. It is a fun and engaging way to help young kids learn how to be a buddy, not a bully!

Lack of time and a busy schedule are huge this time of year which is why it's important to relax in a peaceful haven each night. Keep your bedroom uncluttered and quiet, dim the lights and make sure that your bed is comfortable for both parents. The new SLEEP NUMBER® m9 memory foam bed features DualAir™ technology inside, which provides the ability to adjust the firmness on each side at the touch of a button. It's designed to help couples find their coziest sleep ever.

Watch what you feed your kids. The school year can be full of unhealthy foods high in sugar and with little nutrients. For back-to-school snacks and lunchboxes you might check out Happy Times, a new organic, GMO-free snack line from Happy Family. Try the Veggie Pals -- carrot, orange and apple chews. Each pack has one whole serving of fruit, they're gummies without the gunk. Their Sunny Buddies -- sunflower butter and berry jam bites -- have a space on the back to write a happy note to your child. It's very cute.
