Summer Endings

The back-to-school season can be a stress-filled time of year for everyone. Kids are mourning the loss of their vacation; young adults are dreading English lessons; collegiate scholars are fearing  impending term papers, and above all, parents are anticipating the high costs of new wardrobes, travel expenses, and more. Here are a few ways to ensure that this year’s transition into back-to-school mode is a bit smoother than usual.

Bribery and Rewards: To get your kids pumped up for math class, whip up a batch of cupcakes or cookies and ask your kids to help out. They’ll get a better grasp on fractions, counting, and so forth, and as a reward for a math lesson well learned, you can pack a few extra sweets in their lunch bags.

Saving a Few Pounds: From pencils and paper to binders and backpacks, back-to-school can stress out more than your mind–it can also stress out your bank account. Have your children double check their school supplies from last year to see if anything that was barely used or untouched will be able to benefit them this time around. And since you will inevitably have to purchase some new supplies, you can take advantage of Staples’ £15-off all orders of £75 or more discount (code: 301479). But the deal only lasts until August 29, so get going!
