Around here schools starts in just a few short days. When we were at Trader Joes earlier today, it looked like Friday rush-hour with all the moms and kids doing last minute lunch shopping. Granola bars, cheese sticks, and little packets of hummus were promenently displayed, and I saw more than one child trying to negotiate their own version of a tasty lunch. How ever you decide to meet this challenge, here are a few last tips for making the transition from summer to school a huge success:
- Lay EVERYTHING out the night before (clothes, hair and teeth items, lunch supplies, keys, etc)
-No screens (that means no tv, computers, phones, or music players they only waste time)
-Shower the night before (I know this is hard, but showering is such a massive time sink)
-Go to sleep a little earlier every day for a week (you too Mom and Dad!)
-Practice the route (drive or walk to school and/or the bus stop so you know timing)
-Remind kids that school is a welcoming place full of exciting opportunities
