Can you believe it’s time to start thinking about sending the kids Back-to-School! We’ve all had our summer fun in this crazy summer heat, but now it's back to business!
Back to School Tips:
-Check with your school's PTA/ PTO to see if you can order school supplies directly from your school instead of doing all the shopping yourself.
-Get a quick haircut the week before, make a special breakfast on the 1st day and a fun afterschool snack to make the new school year extra special!
-School can be tough and wearing on a kiddo, so daily affirmations, ESPECIALLY on the 1st day can help.
-A quick chat about cell phones at school has been important to Ashley. Times are different than when we went to school, and some kids like making TikTok videos at school, so chatting about phones, safety, etc may be necessary.
-Don't miss the Just Between Friends consignment sales all over Houston this fall to grab great deals on clothes for the kids!
-The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn, We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins, Strictly No Elephants by Lisa Mantchev, The Day you Begin by Jacqueline Woodson, and Llama Llama Misses Mama are great books to read before the 1st day of school and ease anxieties.
-The Busy Toddler is an awesome Instagram resource for preparing your young kids for Kindergarten and what they REALLY need to know before the 1st day.
