Parenting Pointers: Are You Ready for the School Year?

Summer holiday tans are fading and the school bell has rung- the school year is in full swing! Regardless of how organized and prepared you were for the first day of school, the stresses and strains at the start of a new academic year may still be lingering. Whether you’re in need of additional schoolsupplies or your morning and evening routine needs some tweaking, consumer expert, Andrew Krasny, shares tips and tools to keep the school year running smoothly.

Some of Andrew’s tips will include:

·         TAKE A LAST- MINUTE VACATION: There’s never a bad time to think about a relaxing family getaway to breeze into the schoolyear,

·         COLLEGE READY: Prepping for college means more than just new school supplies. Whether it’s a new apartment or the first year in the dorms, make sure your new digs are ready for the year ahead.

·         TACKLE THE MESS: Back to school means getting back into a laundry routine which likely includes washing dirty sports uniforms and removing tough stains. Are your washer and dryer ready?

·         SQUEEZE IN QUALITY TIME: Dinner doesn’t always mean rushing home to cook. Think about alternative options for meal time like dining out when schedules get frantic.

(Note: I was late in posting this - but last-minute vacations can still happen during those long weekends in fall!)
