Backpack Reminder Tags Reduce Anxiety for Young Children

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 03, 2009 – Wausau, Wisconsin – After a day or two into her daughter's kindergarten debut, it became very apparent to TicklerTag developer, Nicole Budleski, the weekly schedule was a bit more stressful and complicated than she had anticipated. Mondays were violin lessons, which meant she picked up her daughter from school. Tuesdays were swim lessons; therefore her husband chauffeured that day. Wednesday afternoons were sometimes spent with Grandpa, which meant she would get picked up and shouldn't ride the bus.  All in all, very confusing for most adults let alone a child.

In an effort to be organized yet manageable for her 6 year-old daughter, a simple system of interchangeable activity and transportation backpack tags were developed. Designed to accommodate readers and non-readers alike, the simple and iconic images used in the design of these tags proved to be very popular among families across the country.

“I knew there had to be a better way than writing a note each morning or e-mailing my daughter’s teacher the day’s pick-up plans.  After a little thought, it came down to simply pairing an Activity Tag with a Transportation Tag for my daughter’s backpack each morning,” states TicklerTags LLC owner and developer, Nicole Budleski.   “Soon other families took notice of my simple system and I discovered there were far more children than my own daughter that faced anxiety about after school arrangements.  TicklerTags have solved the daily dilemma for my daughter, her teacher and me without the added drama.”

With a wide variety of interests and activities for children these days, TicklerTags.com features over 40 different options including various sports, music and daycare tags.  Plus, the site includes transportation options such as riding the bus, mom, dad, carpool and grandparent tags.  In addition, for parents that wish to submit digital photos, TicklerTags.com customizes tags too.

TicklerTags LLC has recently expanded into the school fund raising arena and plans to launch a practical and profitable program for elementary schools in early 2010.
