Get your kids motivated for the New Year |
The turkey's been devoured, presents unwrapped and party hats thrown away. It's time to go back to work and return to school, so how do you get your kids out of vacation mode? Here are some tips for starting the New Year off right and getting your kids excited about school:
Treat them
In order to keep your kids motivated for the second half of the school year, treat them to something new. Whether it's a new calculator, multi-coloured notebooks or a few new three-ring binders, these items will get them excited about heading back to school and showing off their new gifts.
Switch it up
Try out a new routine, like getting ready for school the night before. Eliminate the panic that takes place every morning by getting your kids to pick out their outfits and pack their school bags before bed. This new approach will save on stress and allow for a few more minutes of sleep.
Replenish
Stock up on school supplies like refill paper and pens. Grand & Toy has a private label collection that includes paper, pens, highlighters and glue sticks that are of superior quality at lower prices. Allow room for a few fun items that will keep your kids interested and get them into school mode, like colourful Zebra Sarasa gel pens and cool locker accessories.
Teach them time management skills
Start your kids off on the right foot by teaching them about time management skills. From simple corkboards to gadgets such as the latest Palm, these tools are great for noting appointments and school reminders.
