Get The Kids Ready for Back-To-School With ICAN Education!
Give The Kids a Head-Start For Back-To-School!
It’s that time of the year that most kids dread – it’s time for back-to-school preparations to begin! Do your kids have back-to-school jitters? We can help! Preparing for the new school term, doesn’t have to take a toll on the kids. All you have to do is follow these 4 ways to give your kids a head-start and they’ll be breezing through the new school year!
Have a Family Chat!
Set aside some family time to talk to your kids about their concerns before back-to-school. Ask them what they’re worried about and make note of it. A Tip: Let’s say they’re afraid of not getting enough sleep during the first week of school. One week before school starts, get them back into their “School Sleep Schedule” by setting bedtime at a decent hour and by waking them in the mornings. This will help them get back into their routine.
Go Back-To-School Shopping!
There’s no better way to give the kids a head start by going back-to-school shopping! Don’t leave school supply shopping until the last minute because most essential items such as backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and pens sell out!
Take advantage of the back-to-school sales they have on clothes. The kids will dig their new outfit!

Get Organised!
After your done back-to-school shopping, get the kids to organise their homework station or desk area at home with all the school supplies. Getting them to set up their home work station gives them a head start by mentally preparing them for home work time!
A Tip: If it’s possible, contact their teacher or school to get the school timetable, so they can see what subjects they are going to learn.
