August – A New School Year

It is that time again! The summer is almost through, and some are getting that last weekend vacation in. Open houses and teacher meetings are crowding our calendars now! Pretty soon, we will trade in vacations for homework, summer ball for Tuesday night ballgames, and VBS for  play practice.  A family’s routine, or developing one, is important to keeping the family’s overall stress level down and the individual member’s success level up! A simple morning routine can set the tone for the day, save time in the morning, and even help the family remember what they need for the day. An established routine takes time, habit, and commitment from the entire family in order for it to work. Below are a few articles that further explain the benefits of examining your family structure and then designing a morning and evening routine that can help everyone get rest, be on time, get there with all their stuff, and be successful!
