GUEST POST: 4 Things to Do Before Your Kids Go Back To School

Back to school is just right around the corner! Before you know it, soccer practices, homework assignments, birthday parties and school plays will be filling up the family calendar. To help ease your family into the school groove, here are 4 things you can do to get ready!

Organize: Organization is very important trait that helps your child at home and in school because it makes things more convenient and efficient. Getting your child’s room organized before the new school year will help them stay organized in school. To make it a less stressful process, carry the organizing out over a weekend or a several days. Have your child assist you as much as they can to help familiarize them with the location and purpose of their things. Trying added bookshelves, cubbies, baskets and anything other organizational props to help you.

New supplies: Every year it’s that last minute mad dash to the local store to get your child’s school supplies. School supplies can get pricey, so reevaluate your child’s list and see what items you can reuse. Backpacks, lunch boxes and binders can typically be cleaned up for usage or a hand me down for your other youngsters.

Spend quality time: When school gets back into full swing, so does you and your child’s schedule. Take the last few days before school starts to spend some one-on-one time with your child. Plan an all-day date with your child, starting with a yummy breakfast out, a trip the park and then maybe to a movie. These are the moments that build your child’s memories. Enjoy it while it lasts because you will be sad when it’s gone!

Create a dream board: A dream board is a fun craft project with a good message behind it. This is a project that you can work on with your child. Get some poster board, magazines, makers, glitter and other craft supplies. Have your child choose 10 things that they want to do, want to achieve, want to be, or want to see for that school year. Once it’s done, hang in their room as a reminder that they are a step closer to their goals in life.

Enjoy the last few days of summer and prepare for a fun and busy school year with your child! Get organized, get what you need, make a date with your child and help plan dreams to help your family prepare for the new school year. Happy schooling!
