T.I.M.E. EDITOR’S CHOICE | BACK TO SCHOOL TIPS FOR PARENTS
Simple Back To School Tips for Minimalist Parents...
Simplify Your Morning Routine
Mornings can be a stressful time, especially when you're trying to get everyone out the door on time. To simplify your morning routine, try organizing your child's school clothes and backpack the night before. This will save you time and energy, support you in having restful sleep, and set you up to have a peaceful and calm morning.
Remember to let go of any tasks that you simply don't need to add to your list... Keep it simple!
Additionally, creating a morning routine chart for your child will help them develop healthy habits such as brushing their teeth, getting dressed, and eating breakfast.
♡ T.I.M.E. TIP
Include your child in prepping for the following morning and creating a morning routine chart... Any age is a good age to start learning how to create simple living habits...
Encourage Your Child To Stay Active
A sedentary lifestyle can negatively impact your child's overall health and well-being. Encourage your children to stay active by participating in sports, going for walks, or riding bikes... And join them whenever you can!
Physical activity not only improves your and your child's physical health, but it also improves mental health by reducing stress and anxiety.
Create a Homework Station
Creating a designated homework station for your child will help them focus and be productive. A clutter-free workspace with all the necessary materials like pens, pencils, paper, and books will help them stay on track with their homework and avoid distractions.
Try to keep it minimal and avoid adding any belongings that aren't essential... And again, it is important to include your child in creating their homework station. They will be much more likely to use it... and enjoy using it... when it represents their own choices too.
Make Time For Family Dinners
Family dinners are important for a child's development and growth. Plus, it is a wonderful opportunity for the entire family to come together and bond over a meal.
You might not be able to do it every night... But prioritize setting aside time each week for family dinners where you can catch up with each child about their day and share some quality time.
Practice Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a tool that can help your child deal with stress and anxiety. When stress and anxiety start to mount, encourage your child to take deep breaths, meditate for a few minutes, or practice a mindful activity like coloring or writing in a journal.
These few simple yet effective mindfulness practices can help your child stay calm and composed when they face challenging situations.

Frequently Asked Questions for Simple Living Back To School Tips...
-
Back to school can be stressful for parents due to a variety of reasons. Juggling new routines, schedules, and activities while managing work commitments can feel overwhelming for many parents.
Additionally, financial pressures such as buying the necessary supplies or paying tuition may also add stress.
-
There are a few ways that parents can prepare for back to school. Try to plan ahead as much as possible and create a schedule in advance for the upcoming week or month.
Create shopping lists ahead of time for any items you may need, such as school supplies or uniforms, to avoid last-minute trips to the store... and to hopefully take advantage of back-to-school sales.
Also, prioritize setting aside some family time to catch up on your child's day and how they are feeling about the upcoming school year.
Finally, encourage your child to develop healthy habits like good sleep routines and exercise which can help with their overall wellbeing.
-
The first day of school can be stressful for many children due to a variety of reasons. It may involve meeting new people, trying out a new schedule or routine, and feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information they need to navigate.
To help your child feel more comfortable on their first day of school, try talking to them about what they can expect and encourage them.
Setting aside time for a practice run to the school or familiarizing both of you with the layout of the school can help reduce some anxiety on the first day... And if available, take advantage of opportunities to meet the teacher before the first day of school.
Finally, make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast so they can start their day feeling energized, enthusiastic and ready to learn.
Going back to school doesn’t have to be a stressful time for minimalist parents. By simplifying your morning routine, encouraging your child to stay active, creating a homework station, making time for family dinners, and practicing mindfulness, you can help your child have a happy and healthy school year.
