Having your kids physically ready for school is important, but preparing them mentally is just as important, and more often overlooked. According to a national study conducted by greatschools.net, most parents buy school supplies and adjust their kids' sleep schedules. But less than half of the parents surveyed find out what subjects their child will be learning, have them read more, or reduce videogame and/or tv time. Breaking summer habits and preparing both you and your child for the material they will be presented with throughout the year can ease the transition and reinforce their learning.
