With the start of the school year just around the corner, it is important to establish rules and routines for this new phase.

For many, back-to-school time is a joy as children return to school, but for others it is a time of stress and rush with the change and implementation of new routines.

As we know that this period is always complicated, we want to help you survive this time of year by sharing 5 tips for organizing your children's return to school and creating a family routine.

Before returning to school, it is essential:

1. Create a list of all needs;
2. Evaluate existing school material and what can be reused;
3. Prepare a list of books that are needed;
4. Analyze children’s clothes and footwear and organize what needs to be purchased;

After organizing the start of the return to school, it is important to establish routines at home for this new period for the youngest, which also influences the routine of all parents. Our tips to make this return more organized are:

1. Adapt schedules to the new school routine;
   
   Find out about the schedules that your child will have to follow and, as the start of school approaches, bring the bedtime and wake-up times closer to those that will have to be practiced during the school period. This makes adaptation easier.
   
   
2. Create a board with all school notes and tasks;
   
   This is important so that nothing is forgotten and your child learns to take notes and organize their schoolwork according to priorities and homework.
   
   
3. Sort the clothes for the week, taking into account the subjects;
   
   So that you don't waste time every morning choosing your child's clothes, we advise you to separate and have the clothes ready for the whole week.
   
   
4. Create a weekly meal plan and organize snacks;
   
   

   Simplify mealtime, whether at home or at school, by planning a meal plan for each week. This way, you will be able to choose nutritious and varied meals and cross them with your weekly shopping list.

   After organizing your meals, place them in their respective containers and arrange them so that everything is always organized and accessible for the entire week.

5. Prepare a space to study.
   
   Have a suitable table and a comfortable chair in a place where your child can concentrate. In this way, it educates him on how to carry out daily tasks and organize himself, so that he still has time to play before dinner.
