how do you get kids organized for school?

Hi, I'm Vika from Trinidad & Tobago (West Indies), how old are your children? Depending on the age group there are different methods. 2-6yrs: You seem more excited about school than them, talk to your child everyday about school, so they know its something interesting, interest them in attending school agin the next day. Let them help you prepare for school time, so they will be interested. also let them know they will be missed at school (by friends & teachers) if they don't go. I also have many more methods, but i'm in a rush.. got to go!

I don’t have kids yet but I have a little nephew and niece who started kindergarten June of this year. They were and still am excited everyday. They only go to school half of the day. My nephew’s schedule is at afternoon and would keep on asking his father early in the morning to get him to school as soon as he wakes up. His parents would laugh because even when he sleeps, his school stuff are with him. My niece is younger than him and keeps on talking about school whenever we talk on the phone (‘cause they live away from me). They love school.

Hey, I get everything ready the night before. All clothes layed out, backpacks ready, lunches packed. etc. Wake up about 15 minutes earlier if needed to give them extra time, because if your kids are like mine in the morning...(and we both know they are), then they need a few minutes to lollygag, complain, or argue about something.
