Back to school can be quite complicated for many, including our little ones who will have to adjust to new surroundings, new friends, a new teacher and a stricter routine. Although my daughter won’t be starting school until next year, I’m already noting ideas for making the transition as stress-free as possible. So, I want to pass on my top 5 activities and tips for a smooth back-to-school.<\/p>\n

1. Get your kids involved in buying AND MAKING their own school supplies:<\/h2>\n

Shopping together with a list of school supplies can be a nightmare. But thanks to online shopping, things are a whole lot easier! I let my child choose, and if it doesn’t work out with the school’s list, I then make the final decision, not my child! Getting kids to make their own pencil case (there are zillions of DIY craft ideas out there for all abilities) or simply a pencil holder from rolls of bathroom tissue<\/a> that can be decorated with stickers and paint can help ease back-to-school anxiety.<\/p>\n
