Going back to school, is something the kids are not looking forward to. The summer has been easy for them. I am trying to get them back into some type of routine. It has been difficult for me.
I have to plan way in advance. Meal plans are going to be for several months. The kids have pre-ordered supply kits. My son has some supplies from last year. I have to get them back into the habit of reading, writing, and adding up.
This year I am getting them involved in doing more chores. This includes doing their own laundry. I asked them to do the dishes so that I could get some other things done, that I wanted to accomplish. They have to get their outfits out the night before. We have to find their shoes ahead of time.
I am working on this going back to school in advance. I know that there will be days that I will not be able to do all that I can to help them. Making decisions in advance will help things run smoothly for going back to school.
