BACK TO SCHOOL 2018 What you need to know for the first day

We are only just few days away from the first school day this year. That means it’s time for us to start thinking about that back to school to-do list. Prepare your kids for a successful year isn’t that easy, so we will share with you list of tips that’ll help you earn an A+ this semester and beyond.

A week before school begins, start waking up earlier. This exercise will help you and your child to make a routine, and will be easier to wake up early when is time to go to school.

The choice of transport depends on how far away is the school from where you live and your child age. If your child go with the school bus, make sure walks where she can see the bus driver (which means the driver will be able to see her, too). Your child also can go with bike, if this is the transportation that you choose practice the bike route to school before the first day of school to make sure your child can manage it. If you decide that your children are generally ready to start walking to school (that should be 9 to 11 years of age) make sure your child’s walk to school is a safe route with well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.

One of the biggest back-to-school fears for the kids is “Will I like my new teacher?” So, we recommended to break the ice early. If is it possible set a meeting with the teacher before the year begins, If that isn’t possible, try locating the teacher’s picture on a school website or in a yearbook, so your child can put a name with a face.

Familiarizing your child with her environment will help her avoid a nervous stomach on the first day. So, your school hosts an open house, be sure to go. Together you can meet her teacher, find her desk, or explore the playground.

We recommended to donate outgrown clothes, because an organized closet cuts down on what-to-wear dilemmas. Also is good to transform the newly streamlined closet with a hanging organizer that has each day printed on separate shelves, so your child can plan a week’s worth of outfits.

Be creative, you don’t need to buy a new backpack every year, make a fun day with your kid and get crafty by ironing on colorful patterned patches inside their bag for extra storage. Or add reflective tape with animal and glitter designs to the side to make the bag feel brand new — and safe!

We believe that creating a station will make school projects easier this year. It will help to go for all their essentials: writing utensils, scissors, glue, you name it. Kids will be more organized and you in the know when items are out of stock.

All kids need some down time before the rigors of school begin. So, don’t spend the last weeks of summer vacation reviewing last year’s curriculum. For some kids, last-minute drills can heighten anxiety, reminding them of what they’ve forgotten instead of what they remember.

Routines help children feel comfortable, and establishing a solid school routine will make the first day of school go much smoother. Avoid practicing your routine a few days in advance, because switching from a summer to a school schedule can be stressful to everyone. Set the alarm clock, go through your morning rituals, and get in the car or to the bus stop on time.
