With Summer coming to a close and school time just around the corner,
it's time for us to get ready to send our children and ourselves back to
school. We have tons of great info to help make the transition back to school
easier on everyone. Read the essay below that FlyLady wrote for the Student Control Journal. Also, check the links below for some handy tips and tools to help you FLY through the school year!
For Students only; Parents Stay Away!
This new school year does not have to be chaotic if you will start
doing some of these simple little daily routines. I know all you
really want to do is have fun. This is all any of us want. I am going
to help you find a way to get your school work done and play too.
All work and no play makes us very unhappy.
Having our parents on us all the time to get our homework, clean
our rooms and do our home chores is not fun either. We are going
to get these things done and it won't feel like work. I know you
don't believe me. I am going to give you the tools and techniques
to do all of this and have fun at the same time. You may actually
teach your parents a thing or two in the process.
Before this school year is over you will have established habits that
will stay with you your whole life. These habits will help you to
grow up to be what you want to be and not what everyone thinks
you should be.
