Establish a homework routine. Decide with your child on a time each night to do homework and stick to it. Kids like knowing when things will happen, rather than being caught off guard. Take an afternoon and assess each child’s clothing needs. Empty drawers and closets of outgrown or worn-out clothing, and either store or donate the discards. Working with your child, clean and organize clothing storage before new garments are added–and cut down on school morning calls of "Mom! I don’t have any clean…" Remind your child that she is not the only student who is a bit uneasy about the first day of school. Teachers know that students are anxious and will make an extra effort to make sure everyone feels as comfortable as possible. Faced with the unknown, an inventive kid’s imagination goes into overdrive. So explore the new school as much as you can. Show him where he’ll enter, and check out the playground. Shopping for new school clothes is a great opportunity to review clothing items with preschool age children. (i.e.: This is a scarf…). Attachable reminders are fabulous for little kids who forget everything, & older kids can attach them to their backpacks as self-reminders. Being involved in child’s education is extremely important for all kids, especially for kids with speech, language or learning difficulties Get Papers in order for back to school. While you’re calling the school, ask what paperwork your child will need to start. Take care of any missing vaccinations or forms ASAP, then gather all the papers in a large, clearly marked envelope or file and photocopy everything. Keep your evenings as free as possible during the first week of school for all those unpredictable errands that have to be run that first week. Shop for your back to school items early. Don’t be left to frantically sift through the picked-over rubble in the school supplies section of your local department store to find a pencil case of a particular style and color. Help your child manage his homework, don’t do it for him.
