Back to School Tips

Get enough sleep. Most kids still need 10-11 hours of sleep each night. Mine still sleep that long. I'm not giving that up anytime soon!

I'd recommend starting your "school" routine a few weeks before school starts to give kids time to adjust.

Eat a healthy breakfast each morning. Food does a body & brain good!

Have your kids pick out their school clothes the night before. This way they won't have time to linger in the morning deciding on what they want to wear.. or what you want them to wear.
