Ready for back to school? This time of year can be tricky if you don't get organized in advance. Follow these simple tips and enjoy back to school like never before.
  1. Make a list
It's fine to keep your tasks in mind, but you can't rely on your memory when you have a thousand things to do. Start thinking about all the things you need to do and create a list so you can clearly see your priorities.
  1. Set up an activity calendar
Before tasks and pending items overwhelm you, organize physical activities so you and your kids can exercise together. Something as simple as going for a walk together in the afternoon or jumping rope can help improve their health, plus it’s a great reason to spend time together.
  1. Design a menu for the whole week
Preparing food every day is a heavy task, especially if you consider that the meals need to be healthy and tasty for the kids. To avoid headaches during the week, it's best to do your shopping over the weekend and have a menu set up for the rest of the week. Create your menu with these delicious and healthy recipes ideal for kids.
  1. Involve your kids in the preparation tasks
The back to school season can be even more challenging for the little ones at home. One way to ease the return to routine is to involve them in the preparations: go shopping for supplies together, ask them to help you prepare lunch, etc.
  1. Organize meetings with their friends
During the holidays, it's very likely that your kids lose contact with their classmates. Help them reintegrate into the school environment by organizing meetings with their friends. (Plus, they will remember how fun it is to be with kids all day). With these tips, your kids will be ready for back to school.
  1. Check last year's supplies
Before spending hours looking for new supplies, take time to organize and check last year's items. You might find things in good condition that can be reused. This way, you will save a lot and contribute to environmental care.
  1. Be positive
Remember that you are your children's role model and if they see you upset or annoyed, they will most likely feel the same way about going back to school.
