Back to School Parenting Tips

With a simple plan and helpful ideas you can support your kids this school year with these 21 back to school parenting tips.

We made a big decision regarding our kids schooling this year. This year it is vitally important that we follow some back to school parenting tips to get organized for the school year. Whether you homeschool, send your child to private school, a charter school, or public school, back to school parenting tips help us all get organized. We need to use our time wisely to support our children through another year.

I think school choice depends a lot on where you live, what values your local school district teaches-or ignores-and your strengths as a parent.

We have made different school choices with each child so far:

My oldest went to preschool two days a week (3 hours) at 4 1/2 years old, then attended a private Kindergarten program and finally spent the last two years in public school.

My oldest daughter was homeschooled for preschool and now will attend a homeschool-private school hybrid program along with her older brother.

I will officially be a homeschool mom. It is a big change for our family, but I know it will be an exciting time. It is also a time that requires following some back to school parenting tips so I can stay focused and organized. Whether you are a homeschool mom or not, get organized for this school year. With a simple plan you can keep your house and life streamlined.
