•Shopping for school items for
your child? If so, plan ahead.
Before shopping, make a list of
what you need. This will help you
from buying extras that you don’t
really need and will help keep you
within your budget. Consider
investing in time-saving school
supplies such as a good set of
reference books or a large tupper
ware box filled with needed paper
supplies, costumes, and other “last
minute” items. When purchasing
clothes, consider those that com
fortable, durable and large enough :
in size to last a while. After you
and your child pick up the items
you need, do something for plea

ice cream cone or play in the park.

•Don’t wait until parent-teacher
conference time to meet your
child’s teacher. Plan to meet at the
start of the school year while the
slate is clean and there is more
time to talk. Inform the teacher
about any important details that
will help him or her better under
stand your child. When you meet
the teacher, express general sup
port and offer your help if prob
lems arise. Plan to participate in
school activities and contunfe to
maintain positive communication
throughout the school year.
•Help your child stay organized
by posting a big calendar in the
kicthen or other prominent area.

days, doctor’s appointments,
sports practices and tournaments.

homework due dates. While indi
vidual schedules may be busy,
make sure to include “family
time” activities on your calendar
as well!
•Worried about getting your
child to do homework? Show him
that you have homework too. Set a
firm homework hour and sit with
your child at the kitchen table or
wherever he works. While he does
his assignments, you can pay bills,
catch up with letters, read work
materials or just read a good book.
When the time is up, put the
homework away and enjoy spend
ing leisure time with your child.
•Practice time-saving routines
throughout the week. When possi
ble, pack lunches the night before
school so that mornings aren’t so
hectic. Encourage
your child to lay out
clothes he will be
wearing the night
before school. Desig
nate special places for
kids shoes, notebooks,
sports equipment and
other potential house
clutterers. Encourage
a “team effort”
approach' to home
management. Estab
lish a list of household
chores to be done,
teach children who to
prepare their own
snacks and any other
chores that will help
teach them responsi
bility while saving
you time.

that the start of a new

always marks a period
