A calm and happy school morning begins the night before. Go to bed knowing everything’s in order with these tips.
- Check the weather forecast and help your child choose clothes, coat, and shoes.
- Have her stow her backpack by the door. Be sure she has put in homeword, lunch money, and permission slips.
- Together, plan breakfast, and pack a healthy snack or lunch.
- Test your youngster for tomorrow’s quiz one last time.
Note: In the morning, set the oven timer to go off five minutes before your child has to leave. That will be the signal to put on socks and shoes and head out the door.
