School mornings can be stressful and can get the day started off on the wrong foot. The night before a school day may be just as stressful if homework hasn’t been done, chores aren’t finished, or nothing is organized for the next day. All of these things play put a toll on not only the children, but parents too. Stress is a huge health risk and anything we can do to keep it to a minimum is worth implementing.

Routines are something both parents and kids will benefit from in so many ways.
Everyone knows what to expect, when to expect it, and stress is minimized.

Today on the third part of the Back to School Series, I’m sharing 17 awesome organizing strategies that will get your morning routines off without a hitch, and bedtime schedules will be on point. There are homework tips that make life easier for all, ways to commemorate first and last days of school, and tricks to manage all of the papers that come with the school year. Plenty of printable charts that are easy for all kids to understand and help to stay on track, and they serve as reminders for parents too.
