A successful start to school: Our tips for a stress-free start to the new year!

Back-to-school is often a source of excitement, but it can also be stressful for parents and children. To avoid the last-minute rush, good organization is crucial. Start by reviewing what you already have at home. School supplies, clothes, and shoes from last year are often still in good condition and can be reused. This not only saves you money but also reduces your environmental impact. If new purchases are necessary, don't hesitate to compare prices online or take advantage of summer sales.

For children, the transition from the relaxed holiday routine to a structured school day can be difficult. Gradually reintroduce a sleep routine, ideally two weeks before school starts. This will help your child adjust more easily to school hours and be more attentive in class. Set up a quiet and tidy workspace at home where they can concentrate on their homework without distractions. Involve them in selecting and preparing their things. This will reinforce their sense of responsibility and increase their anticipation of the new year.

Finally, take time to talk to your children about their expectations and feelings. Knowing they have your support can make a huge difference. A relaxed start to the school year is the best foundation for a successful year. With these simple tips, you can make the start of school a positive and stimulating experience for the whole family.
