Banish ‘Back To School’ Blues
For children, the end of summer break seems to arrive much faster than its
beginning. Many of them enjoy sleeping until late hours of the morning, staying
up late with family and friends or going on vacation. Before they know it, it's once
again time to get up early and get on the bus or the car to go back to school.
There are a few ways to help fight the back to school blue that can help make the
beginning of the school year a little easier for parents and children.
1. Schedule
In order to get the mind back on a school schedule, children should go to sleep at
the time they would when they attend school about a week before the first day.
They should perform all of the activities that they would do, such as packing
lunches and picking out clothes, so that they know how much time they will need
in the evening. A run through should also be done each morning so that no one is
rushed on the first day of school.

2. Supplies
Make sure all of the supplies needed for each child are purchased well in advance
of when classes start. Stock up on less expensive items, such as notebooks and
folders, so that children will have them through the year if something breaks or
they run out of paper. It's also a good idea to start shopping early so that you
have the best selections possible.
Using books, pencils, crayons and bags from last year will help you save money
and also teach your little one to do so.

3. Clothing
There are some schools that require students to wear uniforms. If your children
attend a school like this, you need to know what is appropriate and what should
be avoided. There are certain clothing items that aren't allowed even if they are
the designated colors by the school. There are some online sites and consignment
stores where you can get bargains on school uniforms. If uniforms aren't required,
then go ahead and plan a few outfits for the first week of school.

4. Organization
Try to find ways to stay organized through the school year. Make labels your
friends as you put them on items for school lunches, boxes for important papers
and extra supplies that might be needed. If children pack their lunch, then
consider placing various foods in small containers and letting children pick what
they want to take. This will make them feel in charge of their lunch while making
sure they have something healthy to take.

5. Planning
Get a head start on learning early in the year. Make a place where children can
study and do homework with no interruptions. There should also be a calendar
where assignments and projects can be posted.

6. New Classes
Instead of waiting until the first day of school to find out about the class, consider
going online or getting a book at the library about the subject. This can give you a
way to understand some of the basic concepts of the subject, especially if it's a
new area of study. Getting started earlier on academics will help you get a head
start once school reopens. If needed get help on subjects that you did not fair too
well on last year.
Detailed explanations and additional practice work on subjects like math, science
and English will help your child assimilate better and gain confidence in the
classroom.

7. Paperwork
The first few days of school often involve paperwork that needs to be completed
and signed. While this is important, it's also important to make any updates to
personal information through the rest of the year.
This might include a new cell phone number or a new address.

8. Eating Healthy
Children will usually do better in school if they eat a healthy breakfast in the
morning and a healthy dinner at night before getting a good night's sleep.
Try to get children to eat a balanced meal while at home if they don't eat a lot
while at school.

9. Don't Worry
The most important thing is to not worry. Everyone will be starting a new grade
and making new friends.
There will be groups to join and teachers to talk to, so enjoy the beginning of the
year so that it leads to the best one yet.

10. After School Activities
Once school starts, so do after-school-activities. Considering different grades have
different after school activities and it’s always good to know about the various
activities your child can be involved in. Connecting with the school, teachers or
some child older than yours will be able to guide and give you tips about these
activities.
So if your child will be playing after-school-soccer, getting her a pair of soccer
shoes at the on-going sale will help you save money and also the trouble of a last-
minute-rush.

Conclusion
The first day of school can be intimidating. Getting on a schedule for the year
early can make a big difference through the rest of the year. Children should stay
healthy by eating properly and sleeping enough at night.
If you follow a few simple steps, then the school year can often get off
to a beautiful beginning.
