Students are starting back to school. This can be the second most stressful time of the year. Children have been on Christmas vacation for two weeks. Now, they have to get back into the routine of getting up for school, studying and completing homework assignments.
Here are some tips I am trying to implement:
- Get a good routine. Make sure each child has their outfit ready the night before.
- Have a set time to got through each child’s work and backpacks. Nothing is as frustrating as forgetting to turn in a permission slip or not signing a paper for your child’s teacher. This will lessen the child’s stress during school.
- Pack as much for their lunch the night before and put it in the fridge.
- Make a vision board some time this month for your family. Set some family goals. Have the kids even make their own list of goals.
- There will be days of chaos. We live in a world where that is inevitable. Just chalk up those days as “crazy” and move on to the next day.
Hopefully we can all have a great 2019. Here’s to your children having an awesome 2nd half of the school year!
