As summer winds down, the excitement and apprehension of a new school year is on every family’s mind. Proper preparation can ease the transition and help kick off the year on the right foot. Here are seven of our Play Pits tips to help you get ready during that back-to-school fever.
Tip #1 Organize and Stock Up on School Supplies
Shopping for all those fun and exciting school supplies is a good place to start. Create a checklist with items like:
- Notebooks
- Pens
- Pencils
- Highlighters
- Folders
- Binders
- Backpack
- Calculator
Tip: Shop during back-to-school sales for discounts. Buying in bulk can save money and provide extra supplies throughout the school year.
Tip #2 Update and Organize Your Child’s Wardrobe and Uniforms
Our kids are growing so quickly, now is a good time to update their clothing and uniforms before school starts. Go through their wardrobe to see what still fits and what needs to be replaced. Check their measurements and get any new uniforms you might need for the year.
Tip #3 Create a Dedicated Study Space
A well-organized, quiet study area can help foster your child’s concentration and productivity during their homework time. Choose a spot that is free from distractions and equipped with all necessary supplies.
Tip #4 Routine, Routine, Routine
A consistent routine helps children transition smoothly into the school year. Start adjusting bedtime and wake-up times a few weeks before school begins. Create a daily schedule that includes homework, extracurricular activities, and relaxation time.
Tip: Use a family calendar or planner to keep track of important dates and activities to stay organized. You can either buy a calendar to hang up on the fridge or try an app if you’d like to have it on your phone. A lot of families find AnyList to be very useful. Get the kids involved so they know what’s coming and can be excited about the week or month.
Tip #5 Prioritize Health and Wellness
Schedule necessary health check-ups before school starts, including physical exams, dental check-ups, and eye exams. Stock up on all those essentials for the school year from your Play Pits natural deodorant, whether it’s LOVE (our new baking-soda free kid’s deodorant) or their favorite Play Pits scent.
Tip: Play Pits deodorant is not just for underarms, but a full body anti-odor deodorant from their feet to their chest. Kids love our King and Queen scents as well. We learned that girls love King too.
Takeaway
Preparing for a new school year can be so emotional, exciting and overwhelming! By organizing, planning, and addressing both physical and emotional needs, you can help your child start the school year with confidence and enthusiasm.
