How can I help my children get ready to go back to school?

Backpack Station

It is a good idea to have a designated spot for kids to stash their backpacks when they come in from school, as well as for when they have finished their homework. Having a designated area close to an entry door will save those early morning hassles of searching frantically through the house trying to find their homework. Get your kids in the habit of always placing their backpack in the designated spot. This spot might be a basket in the coat closet or foyer, or just inside the door to a child's room, or whatever would work best in your home.
