Family Stress Saver, School Success Maker

De-Stress Your Morning Routine - Parenting.com (Page 4)

You can tell this tip came from Ann Dolin who wrote the book on homework- literally!

Dolin, via Parenting.com, explains to parents that creating a space in the house dedicated to homework, school supplies, and daily necessities, helps to "De-Stress" mornings for families during the school year.

This suggestion does more than that. It gives parents and children the opportunity to double check that everything is complete and ready the night before school, and gives students enough time to finish forgotten tasks like homework assignments, school paperwork or gathering Show and Tell items.

Arriving to class well prepared is one of the single most important ways to get and stay ahead. Preparation inspires confidence.

Preparation sets the tone for a great day- for student and teacher!

Thanks, Parenting.com, for insight on this connection between parent involvement and student success.
