As we gear up to send our little ones back to school, here are some important reminders to keep in mind. From patience to supplies, these tips will help make the school year smoother for both you and your kids.

  1. Time Flies by Faster Than You Think
    It’s a phrase we hear often—“It goes by so fast!”—and trust us, it’s true. That adorable 5-year-old you just dropped off will soon be a teenager. While summer may have felt endless, the school year will zoom by in no time. Take a moment to savor each first day of school. You may find yourself missing those moments sooner than you think.
  2. Your Drop-Off Outfit Doesn’t Matter
    Leave the fancy outfits for special occasions. If you feel great in your comfy pajamas and slippers, go for it! If you happen to see a fellow mom in a pink fuzzy robe on your way to drop-off, don’t hesitate to wave! After all, it’s all about comfort and convenience, right?
  3. Start Stockpiling Craft Supplies
    Save every shoebox, wig, and random hat you can find! Kids often spring last-minute projects on you, and you’ll want to be prepared. Think of it as creating a mini craft survival kit. When little Johnny tells you about his big project due tomorrow, you’ll be glad you have the supplies on hand to create a masterpiece from pipe cleaners and coffee filters.
  4. Be Mindful of School Event Etiquette
    Avoid showing up to school performances overly early just to claim prime seats. We all believe our children are stars, but let’s keep it low-key. Enjoy the show from wherever you’re seated and capture the moments you can, whether it’s the winter concert or the talent show.
  5. Budget for School Expenses
    From pictures to fundraisers, the costs of school can add up quickly. While you may have memories of simpler supply lists, times have changed. Consider buying a few extra items and donating them to your child’s teacher for those who might need them. It’s a kind gesture that can make a difference.
  6. Don’t Overcommit
    While volunteering is commendable, signing up for everything can lead to burnout. Take a step back and choose your commitments wisely. You want to enjoy your involvement rather than feel pressured by it. Keep it fun, not burdensome.
  7. Embrace Your Free Time
    Don’t feel sad about your kids being at school all day. Instead, relish the opportunity! Use this time to focus on your interests, whether it’s returning to work, pursuing a hobby, or simply taking some much-deserved “me time.” This is your chance to thrive.

In conclusion, the school year is a whirlwind that can pass in the blink of an eye. So, embrace the chaos, enjoy the moments, and remember that you’re not alone in this journey.
