For Parents: Organise your kids back to school like a pro after Coronavirus

Saturday Special



States are announcing dates for schools reopening and the first question on your mind is, is it safe to let your children go back to school immediately school reopens? No one knows for sure.

According to GoodHousekeeping, there are four area of risks for school children: contact from shared stationeries and other equipment, the air in classroom proximity, shared lunch spaces, toilets, gym and other recreational facilities, finally, school buses.

In our recently conducted poll, many parents want to wait and see how others fare first, some want to get their children started on how to protect themselves without postponing the day of reckoning while others are simply undecided.

Wherever you fit in, here are some tips to help you navigate the eventual return to school post COVID-19.

Start with old school supplies
Including uniforms. The uncertainty surrounding this pandemic may entail discarding the first set of back to school supplies if an episode is experienced in your child's school.

Build a homework base
Time spent looking for pencils and sharpener or even the homework book will be seriously reduced if you set up a wide desk and chair/stool dedicated homework post. The pencils can be put in empty jars on the desk after writing for next time and other school staples too.

This DIY hanger for clothes has got you covered 
If you put it up where your child's height in mind, you'll save hours through out the week by hanging out caedigans, what to wear each day or after school and avoiding putting uniforms in the laundry bag until you decide they should in there.


Plan meals in advance
Buying takeout can save you hours of cooking and cleaning but also leave a big hole in your pocket. The other alternative is to plan and prepare meals in advance to save yourself from stress and overspending.
