School Bells Will Soon Be Ringing...Will You Be Ready?

Hi there Moms!!

Yes, summer is still in full swing and while our children are busy having fun and enjoying this time off, have you begun to think about the back to school preparations you'll have to make?

Whether your child will be starting Pre-K or heading back to High School, preparing for the Back To School rush can be stressful but if you start your back to school preparations early, that will help to ease the stress.

Be sure to check with your child’s school(s) to see if you can get a hand on the school supply list and then start shopping around for the best deals.

Also start about 1-2 weeks before school starts and implement a good bedtime routine for your child and start to wake him/her up at the time they would normally need to wake up for school. (This will help to re-set their internal clocks) smile.

If you have teenagers heading off or back to High School then you will want to check out the Parenting My Teen Podcast this week because we are talking about things that you can do to ensure your teen gets off on the right foot. We are also sharing tips as it pertains to each year of High School.

Also, I saw a great thread over at Moms Talk Network all about the start of the new school year. Hop on over and let us know when your little ones will be starting school.

So tell me (and be honest- smile) - on a scale from 1 - 10 how ready are you for the new school year to begin?
