Tips for going back to school

The end of summer... Every year we can repeat this song, a melancholic reminder that the sun and the holidays are coming to an end.

One of the challenges of the end of summer is going back to school. Phew... just thinking about it is overwhelming. So many things to consider, so many expenses, back to the routine...

Below are 5 tips that we hope will help you face the return to school:

• Make a budget and compare prices: Grab a pen and paper (or a SaveFamily tablet if you're feeling fancy) and make a list of everything you need to buy. Uniforms, shoes, books, extracurricular activities... This will help you estimate your spending and start shopping for the most affordable options.

• Work with a calendar . Grab a calendar, check the days until the school year starts, and start planning your children's return to school and work. Keep in mind the adjustment period for the little ones; this also requires adjusting our work schedules. Setting tasks with a calendar forces us to move forward gradually and not leave everything to the last minute during this return to school season.

• Update your schedule : It's recommended that you establish daytime and nighttime schedules as close as possible to the ones you'll be using from now on, starting in the first week of September. The body takes time to get used to new routines, so it's necessary to give it at least a week to acclimatize.

• Introduce review homework : To make the return to school a success, it helps to get your children used to doing short reviews and exercises from the previous year. It's not about getting ahead in the material, but rather refreshing their knowledge. We assure you, it will go very well.

• Don't stress : Don't lose your vacation ZEN mood. Try to make changes gradual and keep in mind that there's a long school year ahead of you.
