Organizing Your Kids for School
school
The lazy days of summer are almost over. It's time for the school bell to ring announcing the start of another year. How can you make this year a little more successful for your children and a little less stressful for you?
 
Establish storage areas for school items. Where should the backpacks and lunch boxes be stored at the end of the day, so that they are ready to go in the morning? What door do the kids use to enter and exit the house? Consider putting hooks up on the wall near that door for their coats, hats, backpacks and lunch boxes.

National Preparedness Month

September is National Preparedness Month   . There are four things the Department of Homeland Security suggests you do this month to be prepared for an emergency.
 
 
    • Get a Kit. Gather necessary items for your family's emergency preparedness kit.
    • Make a Plan. A thorough and practiced plan can help you keep track of family members in an emergency.
    • Be Informed. Daily tips will add to your knowledge and help you make wise decisions during any crisis.
    • Get Involved. We all have a role to play in keeping our hometowns safe.

Studies show that disorganization begins to be an issue for children in middle school. When they are given more independence and more responsibility at the same time. Some children need a system tailored just for them and don't know how to do just that.

 

If you know (a little) someone who needs help starting the school year off right we'd love to hear from you.
