*Giveaway closed, Liz, you are the winner! I will be emailing soon. Thank you everyone for entering the giveaway.
I recently sat in on a blogcast featuring Peter Walsh for Office Max as he gave some great tips on getting the kids ready for back to school. I was really excited to see a few bloggers joining in as well, a mom and a teacher. You can visit their blogs for more fun details.
To recap here are a few of the points that Peter went over:
TIPS FOR HOME
1) Find the Vision you have for a Space – Start with a clean slate.
2) Make Organization a Family Value
3) Use the Right Tools for Great Organization
TIPS FOR ORGANIZING YOUR CHILD
1) Show that you Value Organization
2) Establish Clear Limits and Routines
3) Always ‘Finish the Cycle’ – Complete a task once you start. If you open it, close it. If you finish it, replenish it.
TIPS FOR THE CLASSROOM
1) Establish Clear Routines
2) Involve Kids with Classroom Organization
3) Use Words, Pictures and Color to help Organize
Helping your kids get organized relives stress, builds confidence and self assurance. Help them get this year off to a good start!
