Back to school ideas

Pack lunches the night before and refrigerate!

Make sure backpacks are packed and ready to go the night before.

Create a homework center.

Stock with extra crayons and supplies needed to complete homework.

Make sure it's not near a t.v.

Lay out clothes the night before.

Remember kids need to make as many decisions as possible.

Avoid power struggles by letting them make small decisions.

Create a special hamper in the laundry room for uniforms and other rush items.

Fold T-shirts so that the design is recognizeable without unfolding.

Each evening have a 30 minute family clean up time to get everything back in place.
