We know the school run can be extremely stressful, with reluctant kids, missing uniform and the inevitable traffic jams. As the new school year creeps ever closer, it\u2019s time to make a change to your hectic routine. Below we\u2019ve compiled a list of the top 5 back to school tips to make your life a little less stressful this academic year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Tip 1 – Prepare at night<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
One of the best back to school tips is to get as much as possible prepared the night before. This means getting packed lunches ready, uniforms laid out and bags by the door before you go to bed. You can even get breakfast ready in advance. Overnight porridge is an easy, tasty and healthy breakfast that\u2019ll keep your family on the move until lunchtime. Remember, the more you do at night, the less there is to do in the morning!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Tip 2 – Update\u00a0your\u00a0calendar<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Another great back to school tip is to keep the calendar as up-to-date as you can and check it daily. This way you\u2019ll know if there\u2019s any after school clubs or play dates you might have forgotten about. A calendar will do wonders for the whole family\u2019s organisation and you can also get the kids to fill in sections themselves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Tip 3 – Keep your cool <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We understand the stresses of the school run, but despite the traffic and lack of parking spaces the best policy is to remain calm. If you’re stressed out, things are likely to be more difficult and take even longer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Tip 4 – Get into a routine<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We all know humans are creatures of habit, so a family routine will make everything easier. Everyone will know what they\u2019re meant to be doing early in the morning without any fuss and you\u2019ll save yourself from chasing after everybody. Having a routine allows you to use your time more effectively, spend less time planning and adds some structure to your life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
