It’s Back to School Time!

Back to School

It’s that time of year again: back to school! The sales are on, so every parent and guardian is prepping for the back to school rush – but are your kids? Summer feels as if it lasts an eternity when you’re a kid, so learning that you may have to go back to school, or start going, can come as a bit of a shock to some children. There are some fun ways to help prep kids for the new school year to get them excited. 

Get Back Into Your Routine
Getting kids ready for school takes some preparation. You’ll need to get the kids up on time, have them dressed, their backpacks and lunches packed, and have them out the door and in the car or on the bus when the time calls for it. Jumping right into this school routine can be a bit of a shock for both kids and parents so getting a head start can help you both ease into things. Not only will this make your back to school schedule easier to adjust to, but it will also help everything go over much more smoothly, too.


Get Their Minds in Gear
Introducing educational activities and games can help get kids back into learning mode. Ideally, kids should be exposed to these kinds of activities regularly throughout the summer so that they stay up to speed, but introducing it more so towards the end of the summer can help get kids back into the mindset they’ll need for the classroom.

Visit an Open House
Some pre-k, kindergarten, and elementary school grades hold open house events for kids, parents and teachers. These get-togethers allow everyone to get to know each other. As a parent, you’ll meet your kids’ teachers and their classmates’ parents. For kids, they’ll see what their classroom will be like and who they might be friends with this year. These preliminary meetings also allow you and your kids to get a taste of what their curriculum will be like for the year. Seeing their classmates and their teacher can help get kids ready for when school will actually start, and you can begin brushing up on topics that might have been covered in the open house if you want to help give your child a head start. 

Personalized School Books

Give Them Some Reading Material
Reading has been known to help kids adjust to many different types of situations, and school just happens to be one of them. Get your child a personalized book like the ones from KD Novelties so they can better imagine themselves at school once it starts. Personalized School Books like “My First Day at School” and “School is Fun” can help get any child back in the spirit to learn. When they see their names as part of the story, kids will get excited to find out what happens next and read through to the end. Reading is a great thing for kids to do in general. It is important that you make sure that your child keeps up with their reading level over the summer so that they won’t fall behind.

There are other books to consider, too, like “My School Fun Book” and “Personalized for Pre-School” which are more geared toward activities that can help kids get used to doing classwork. Introducing kids to their coursework in a fun way can help get them excited to start school, whether they are starting for the first time or returning after a long, fun-filled summer.





Getting Back into the School Spirit

Back to School

New environments can sometimes be difficult for kids to adjust to. Whether they have already started school or not, going to a new place after a long summer can take some getting used to. Some children may not be quite as receptive to the idea of heading back to the classroom or entering the classroom for the first time, and this is completely normal. Change can be difficult for some children when they are younger, but using tools to ease them into new changes can be helpful for them in the short-term as well as the long-term.

First Day of School Personalized Book

Personalized children’s books by KD Novelties can provide kids with an accessible means of becoming acquainted or reacquainted with the idea of school. KD Novelties offers several personalized back-to-school books, including “My First Day at School”, “My School Fun Book”, and “School is Fun”. All of these books can insert children in the heart of school, making the idea of a transition that much more fun and easier to swallow. When kids see themselves having fun in a new situation or place, they are more likely to grow excited and want to do those things themselves. Stories help motivate kids to make changes and try new things, and books that star them personally help even more.

School is Fun Personalized Book

Personalized books have proven to help children overcome personal obstacles which can include potty training or even bullying. When kids see themselves in the midst of the action, they can imagine themselves taking charge in their actual lives. When children see a version of themselves accomplishing things, the idea of doing the same in reality becomes less scary and feels more realistic and plausible to them. Giving kids books about their exploits at school can help them become more excited and welcoming of the change and help ease any anxiety they may be feeling.
