Oprah.com has an excellent section on Back to School Tips for families. They offer advice for:

• Tips for morning routines & bedtime
• Tips to help your child’s study habits
• Tips to help your child in social settings

I especially liked the tips on how to speed up morning routines by making lunches and choosing clothes the night before. There are also easy tips to encourage your child to read regularly.

This time of year is stressful for you and your kids, so anything that can make it easier is a help.
