AFTER A summer of lazy
days at the pool or beach,
you and the kids may be less
than enthusiastic about the
hectic pace that arrives when
school doors re-open. “Back
to school” often means a
return to “rush hour”
bathroom and_ breakfast
schedules, wild hunts for
missing homework and mad
dashes io the school bus
stop.

li. schocl momings mean
mayhem at your home, it
might be wise to do a little

planning. To prepare a.-

schedule that will make
things less frantic, try these

tips:

} You (or your children, if
they're old enough to help)
can prepare school lunches or
set out lunch money the night
before.

| Homework should be
done (and checked) before
children go to sleep. Provide
a quiet place for this task.

| If kids often misplace
pencils, pens and scissors at
home or school, gather
these items into one con-
tainer that closes securely to
hold all the “school stuff” kids
so often need.

To keep fost items to a
minimum, you may want to
equip two school boxes for
your child — one for at-home
use, and the other for a

locker or desk at school,

| Make sure children lay
out clothes and books or
supplies they'll need before
bedtime. Moms may select
clothes without the child's
participation only to find
(usually five minutes before
it’s time to go out the door)
that Junior refuses to wear
the pants so carefully pressed
for him the night before.

Naturally, even with the
most organized schedule and
the best plans, there can be
those awful mornings when
the whole family is running
late. Rut with a good routine,
school days can run more
smoothly and successfully for
everyone.
