Lunchbox, napkins and calendar: what to buy for children before school

Preparing for the new school year: tips for parents

September always brings a lot of new challenges. For children, it is a time of new impressions and experiences, and for parents, it is a time of preparing everything necessary for school.

It is recommended to prepare everything in advance to avoid last-minute fuss. Several items will make the new school year more comfortable for both children and their parents.

One useful accessory is a lunch box with several compartments, which allows you to conveniently pack different dishes, such as soup, pasta, fruit, or nuts. It is essential that it is airtight and keeps warm. This is especially important for children from 9 years old, because proper nutrition has a positive effect on their concentration and academic performance.

To make the dressing process easier, you should choose clothes with large buttons, “front/back” labels, and made of pleasant-to-the-touch fabrics to help children get dressed quickly and feel more independent.

An additional convenience is to use a regular pen, and the notes can be saved in an application such as Google Drive. This not only trains the memory, but also allows you to have notes in electronic form. A notebook with reusable pages is also a good choice, because it can be easily cleaned with water.

To coordinate various activities, a family calendar will be helpful, where you can enter the schedule of lessons, clubs, and training, and also synchronize with services such as Google or iCloud. In addition, it can be used to make shopping lists or plan menus, and it can also act as a photo frame.

Additionally, the backpack used by the child should be lightweight, spacious, and feature a chest strap and a bottle holder. The weight of the backpack mustn’t exceed 10-15% of the child’s weight.

Little things, like funny keychains, can add individuality and cheer to the backpack. Don’t forget about stain wipes – they are compact and effectively cope with various contaminants, and by wiping their pens, schoolchildren can easily correct their mistakes without the need for correction fluid.

The new school year brings many changes, and therefore, it is essential to be prepared for everything to make this process as comfortable and successful as possible for your children!
