The Importance of the Family Meeting For Back-to-School

Before we start the new school year, one of our traditions is to hold a family meeting. Even if the morning schedule hasn’t changed, it’s still important to go over the specifics and remind everyone what the schedule is for the upcoming year.

Here are a list of items that we review:

Discuss morning schedules - what time everyone needs to be getting up in the morning and what time they have to be out of the door to ensure they arrive at school on time.
Make a checklist of everything that needs to be done in the morning - including everything from getting up in the morning, to packing up backpacks, and putting coats on when we leave.
Do a trial run of the morning routine and actually track the time it takes for everyone to complete all of their items. If necessary, make adjustments.
Ask your kids what they can prepare the night before and what would be most helpful for them.
If you and your children live with ADHD, use reminders and alarms throughout the morning to keep you on track and remind you of where you are in the morning routine.
Decide how homework will be handled in the home - where are they going to be doing it? Do they have everything they need? Where do they concentrate the best? What distractions need to be eliminated?

How Meal Planning Saves You Money and Time

Nothing's worse than looking at the clock at 4 pm and having no idea what’s for dinner. For my family, this usually means some kind of take-out or going out to a restaurant. This is definitely not the healthiest or cheapest option available. In the Free Download section below, I talk about the benefits of meal planning, how to simplify it, and include three meal planning worksheets to help you.
