]]> School mornings can feel like an impossible mission. Trying to get your kids ready and out the door, while preparing yourself for your own day, should be recognized as an Olympic sport. But it shouldn’t have to be this intense, and here are some ideas to help it run a little smoother.

Prepare All Meals the Night Before

Lots of parents are in the habit of making lunches the night before. But preparing breakfast in advance is also a great idea. Overnight oats are healthy and can be grabbed straight from the fridge, saving time and avoiding arguments about who’s having what for breakfast.

Prepare All Outfits the Night Before

Making sure every aspect of your kids’ outfits for the day is laid out for them will be a lifesaver in the morning. There will be no frantically searching for matching socks or a clean T-shirt. 

Pack Bags the Night Before

Making sure they have all their school essentials will be so much simpler with this hack. You can go through the checklist calmly the night before, and leave it all by the door ready to grab and go when the time comes.

]]> School has started back for most children, and many to-do lists have been checked off in time for the new year. But with so many things to get ready, it’s easy to miss a few essentials – have you got all of these ticked off your list?

Waterproof Rucksack

Most children walk or bike to school, and have to carry books, lunches, and other essentials with them. For this reason, making sure that they have a good rucksack that can support a fair bit of weight is essential. You may also want to make sure you buy them a waterproof bag, as there’s nothing worse than turning up to lessons with soaked books and disintegrating homework.

Sturdy Lunchbox

With the best will in the world, the content of your child’s bag is going to get shaken up throughout the day. Prevent any spillages by buying them a really sturdy, clippable lunchbox. This will keep the contents of the bag clean, and ensure that they have some lunch left to eat when they get to it.

Notebook

Your child will probably be provided with exercise books for most lessons, but ensuring that they have a notebook with them can help them note down anything they need to remember throughout the day. Most schools don’t allow phones on site, so your child won’t be able to rely on the reminders app on their phone. Go old school, and provide them with a cool notebook and pens so that nothing gets forgotten.

]]> It’s that time of the year when everyone is shaken by back-to-school anxiety—both parents and kids. Going back to school is a huge change for your little ones after a long summer break, but these three useful tips will help them ease into their back-to-school routine.

Morning Routine

Once the summer break is over, the morning routine for your entire family will change. Mornings can be pretty hectic, so make sure to prepare everything you need beforehand, and put some effort into teaching your kids to get up on time, get dressed, have breakfast, and do the rest of the morning chores so you wouldn’t be the one carrying all the weight.

Sleep Schedule

It’s always a good idea to get your kids back on their school schedule before school even starts, but it’s never too late to get it done. Once the school year is officially here, you should encourage them to do their homework on time and limit their screen time right before bed so they can get a good night’s sleep.

New School

If your child started attending a new school this year, they’ll have a more difficult time adjusting. Help them out by getting them familiar with their new surroundings, arrange play dates with their classmates, and be their safe harbor whenever they need to talk about any struggles they might have adjusting to a new school.
