September begins with a sigh. Holidays are over and we start thinking about books, supplies and schedules. It is time to order and clean at home to face a new course with enthusiasm. You, How do you prepare for the return to school?
There are those who prefer to continue with the house "on vacation" and gradually enter the rhythm of the routines, but almost all families with children take the time to make a new beginning. We give you some tips to start the new stage.
Make order at home: less is more
Back to school is an ideal excuse to make order at home. To achieve a real order, which is not just stacking things on a shelf or keeping them in a drawer, we need to first get rid of those things we don't need.
Call toys that you no longer use, books that can be donated, school notebooks two years ago, clothes that are too small for them, or shoes that squeeze or wear too much.
Remember the maxim that less is more And don't hesitate to get rid of what you really don't need. There are other people who may need them more than you.
Clean the signs of summer
It is a bit sad, because it is like putting the holidays in a trunk of memories, but to start with all the illusion and put the energy in what lies ahead it's time to store those things we only use in summer and we will not use the rest of the year again.
The time has come to say goodbye to sleeves, floats, churros, diving goggles, fins, boards, buckets, shovels and other summer paraphernalia. Ok, buckets and shovels, also worth the park. We leave them.
Take the opportunity to clean and check beach items. It makes no sense to store punctured sleeves, broken churros and molds filled with sand.
Renew or die: new spaces in the children's room
To give a new air to the home you can take the opportunity to make a small change or buy something new for the children's room.
You can, for example, create a reading corner in the children's room. Choose an area that receives natural light, or if necessary complements a floor lamp, place a mattress, a pouf on the floor or a comfortable armchair, and an assorted library to suit you.
If the child already starts studying or doing homework, you can buy him a desk, or make your first desk with cardboard boxes, like the one we've taught you before. With materials for everyday use you can make a resistant and original work table, even if it is only for painting you will like to have your own space.
The illusion for the new
Once we have thrown away, given or donated what we do not need and ordered what we do need in its place, it is time to acquire everything you need for the new course. From clothes to go to the store or school, uniform if necessary, shoes, books, backpack, case and all necessary accessories.
I remember the illusion that made me as a child the beginning of a new course, but more than going back to school, for brand new equipment, especially for pencils, colors, rubber, pencil sharpeners ... I've always been in love with all those things , until today that inside a school supplies store I look like a girl in a candy store.
How do you prepare at home for the return to school? Do you follow any special routine at this time of year?
