Last night on CHEX Daily I chatted with hosts Teresa Kaszuba and Mike Judson about three non-academic areas you can focus on to make sure your child is really ready to head back to school (or head to school for the very first time): prioritizing sleep, building independence and easing jitters - theirs and maybe yours!
I'm at the 28:08 mark, and if you can't see the embedded video you can find it here: https://youtu.be/SP0mSfUGjSQ?t=28m8s
Here are the websites I mentioned:
www.sleepforkids.org
www.stsco.ca (for the info on the First Riders bus events next weekend)
My girls have never had a chance to visit the studio until now, and they were excited to check it out!
Bonus money-saving back-to-school tip:
Make your list of necessary supplies, and then shop your house before spending a cent! Here's a pic of my girls going through all their school items and packing their pencil cases. When they were finished, all we needed to buy was one clue stick and one pencil sharpener!
