This can be a successful school year for you and your child. Take step one today. Atlanta, GA, October 19, 2011 -- Parents can easily avoid sabotaging this years sc hool success, says Kamaron Institute president and parenting expert, Margaret Ros s. "Now is the best time to establish a school day success system. Lowering par ental school-morning stress can be as simple as taking six simply brilliant anti -steps . If your children are like most, their backpacks, desks, lockers quickly become a disorganized mess of homework, flyaway papers, and permission slips. "Getting o rganized helps children and parents to be less stressed. When children know wher e their work is and are able to quickly find what they need, they dont waste time and energy looking for misplaced papers and missing books," adds Ross. Six Simply Brilliant Stress Reducers 1. Partner with the School and Teachers Use both high tech and high touch skills for your childs school success. Pair a f ace-to-face visit (high touch) expressing your appreciation and support while pr oviding your cell and email contacts (high tech) are a good way to launch a new school year relationship. 2. Use Technology To Stay Informed Education has never been more wired or more wireless. Your childs teachers may ha ve a homework voicemail that can be checked and they usually publish their schoo l email address. The schools website can be an information treasure trove. 3. Set Up the Space The first thing you need is a study space and a system at home for monitoring sc hool work and notes sent home. The computer your child uses should be in a centr alized location such as a family room or kitchen; so putting an in box type basket and a desktop file system with color coded folders and supplies should go near the computer. 4. Establish a Routine With your child, determine the best time for daily school work and stick with it . This time is scheduled and set aside the same way sports practice or any appoi ntment is reserved. 5. Involve your Child in the Plan The more involved kids are with the process, the more they will stick with it. G etting them -and you- to stick to routines is important. 6. Encourage Color Coding Let kids pick the colors of their folders, binders to correspond to different cl asses. If red reminds them of math, theyll know instantly to grab the red folder or notebook when looking for their math homework.
