With summer ending around the corner out comes the school supply checklist and checking the calendar to see when the kids actually go back to school. Unless you are super parent and already know!
Organize a space for homework, a desk is a great way for children to take ownership of their homework and pride in their own space.
Declutter the bedrooms!!! I have said it before I will say it again, clean rooms make for better sleeps!
Before your children go to bed and before you go to work have the lunches and the clothes ready to go and the homework packed up ready to go. Trust me, the mornings become less stressful when they don't have to look for eveything. They will also sleep better knowing they have everything ready for the morning.
Lists are a great way to acknowledge all the work they have accomplished. Set goals of a break once a certain amount of homework is done on the list.
Assign hangers for your children's coats and if you have the room a small tupperware bin for them to put their phones, keys and other small items for the night.
Encourage healthy snacks, they may not put it in their lunch but i guarantee if you sneak an apple in they will eat it!
Lastly, Get the house clean a couple days before that way you can concentrate on getting their school supplies, clothes, and haircuts.
