Happy New Week to our PERNEB Family! And welcome to our “Hey Kwasi” content series where we address Frequently Asked Questions about our products and to check in with you!
This week’s question is HOW ARE YOU COPING WITH THE BACK TO SCHOOL SEASON?
To be honest, this first week back is likely going to be pure chaos. Between the heavy morning traffic and trying to wake the kids up at dawn, your peace of mind can easily fly out the window before 7:00 AM.
If you want to survive the week without stress, try these three simple strategies:
1️⃣ Do the heavy lifting the night before: Don't wait until morning to iron uniforms or search for missing socks. Pack the bags and lay everything out before you sleep. Early morning traffic and rushes do not respect anyone!
2️⃣ Keep breakfast fast: The kids are already tired from the transition. You don’t need to cook a feast at 5:00 AM. Quick Milo with bread and eggs, or hot hausa koko is a massive win.
3️⃣Give A Confidence Boost: Moving to a new class, meeting new teachers, or starting a whole new school can give kids serious jitters. This week, your number one job is to be their Head Cheerleader! Before they enter the school gate, stop, give them a tight, reassuring hug, and look them in the eye. Tell them, "You are smart, you are brave, and you will do great today!"
A happy, confident child enters the classroom ready to absorb everything. A stressed, frightened child is just trying to survive the day. Learning happens much faster when the heart is at peace. Give the kids and yourself some massive grace this week. You've got this! ❤️
