It's almost Back to School time.
Parents... Get excited!
No. Wait.
First you have to accomplish back to school shopping (with the kids!) then practice getting up early again, get everyone eating breakfast together at the same time again, nail the art of getting everyone ready on time...
Far out.. I am tired just thinking about it ;)

When we started "Big School" for the first time, the most effective thing we did to get school mornings moving more smoothly was to encourage our daughter to be more independent - to be responsible for getting herself ready and make sure her bag was packed.
It made Sophie more confident, helped her remember what was happening on different days of the week, and helped developed her accountability for remembering her hand her homework in on time.
It also made mornings MUCH easier for me, which in turn meant less nagging before school!
