Squeeze in some bonding time with the kids on school days


With the school year in full swing, every parent is quick on their feet, looking for ways to make everyday school preparations simple but enjoyable for everyone. The best way this can be done is to squeeze in some bonding time with the kids—no matter how cheesy, before they get too busy with schoolwork.

Ease in to the school day mindset.
Get the kids into ‘school mode’ as the weekend winds down. Start off with some fun activity books. Solve simple equations and brainteasers together. Get the kids to write down lists about their favorite school activities or what they look forward to in school. This way, they can get back into writing while you create opportunities for simple discussions with your kids, all while getting to know them better.

Buy school project supplies together.
Get the kids excited about ticking off items from their checklist of things to buy when they have those special projects. Spend the day together going around the stores, know what colors they prefer, which designs catch their eye. Aside from bonding, your kids will appreciate the effort you’ve put into acquiring their needs even more. Add special touches like personalizing their name labels to show and remind them during class that you will always be there waiting for them after school.

Slowly build a morning routine.
Now that school has started, drastic changes have happened to the household routine. Make sure the kids have slowly transitioned into it so that the household runs like a well-oiled machine on your school days and nights. Help them slowly adjust to their early morning schedule by setting the alarms earlier and earlier everyday until you reach the hour needed to give enough prep time for the family. Plan the routine, especially for wake up time, breakfast, and bath time with the kids. Make a chart and assign each child a different color and allow them to fill in their own schedule. Make it fun and memorable and they will more likely follow their assigned schedule until they form the needed habits for their routine.

Keep making new baon ideas.
Plan ahead so that your kids can have more delicious meals even when they are out of the house. Go grocery shopping with them for their baon so you can find out the kinds of food they prefer. Plan a menu where you can introduce new flavors and food items so you can find out what they like and what they don’t.
