Listen in to this episode of Q&A Thursday as I share some helpful tips for getting your children ready to go back to school whether that is to the classroom, online learning, or home education.
We have covered a lot of ground in this Q&A Thursday, including:

Listen as I share some declarations and suggested words that you can say for your child’s school, whether in the classroom, online, or at home education.
10:20 – Establish GREAT morning and bedtime routines. I share loads of suggestions for your routines. Practice these routines a week or two before school begins.
