Going back to school after a summer of fun, without schedules and homework, can be a rough time in your child's life. In addition to the nervousness caused by wondering whether or not he will like his new teacher and classes, there are the challenges of daily schedules filled with activities and reestablishing study habits. Here are some ideas to make the transition go more smoothly.
"Back to School" shopping. Develop a "Back to School" shopping list with your child. Have them write out the list. You may wish to include clothing items or a computer along with school supplies. Most schools have school supply lists available for each classroom. The lists are often in the local stores or you can pick up a copy at the school. Some states offer a few "tax free" days specifically for school supplies. If your area does so, you will want to time your shopping trip to take advantage of the savings. Have your child go with you to do "Back to School" shopping. Have your child read from the list and then check off each item as it is added to your cart.
