As summer comes to an end, we say goodbye to endless nights, days by the sea and the warmth of the sun.  As we pack away the swimsuits and beach balls, we prepare for the seasons ahead. All endings give way to new beginnings and parents everywhere are preparing their children for the upcoming school year.  After a fun filled last minute family vacation, I am making the mad rush among many to stock up on school supplies and uniforms.

No matter how many back to school tips I’ve gathered over the years, the back to school transition can be a little hectic on the both the children and parents. There is an undeniable change in pace as children shift from the lazy days of summer to their new regimented routines packed with school work and extra-curricular activities.

With one child entering the 7^th grade and one entering their Sophomore year of college, I can completely relate to the chaos that the back to school season ensues. Yes, it’s a new beginning and new milestones for your children, but it’s also a lot of preparation. Don’t you love covering your child’s 10 workbooks with contact paper? How about writing their name on every pencil and crayon? Although these little details may seem minuscule, they are just as important as reading the school handbook and completing the required emergency contact forms. All the details matter and as a parent, I’ll do everything required to ensure my children’s academic success.

During the back to school transition, it’s important to squeeze in the necessary me time and get a little rest and relaxation when possible.
