What Sux about Back-to-School Shopping? Chaos!
Teacher must-have lists come in late or are overly specific, the stores are jammed, the school supply aisles are a war zone; stuff ordered online turns out not to be quite what the teacher ordered, inflation gouges your budget and the goods you do end up buying must be broken up and organized, something you invariably don’t get to until late at night.
What ROX? Responsibility and bonding!
Assigning your child the task of inventorying existing supplies teaches responsibility and prevents unnecessary purchases. Shopping trips then become a fun bonding activity, complete with choices that get them excited for school — and maybe even throw in a celebratory lunch!
Once you get home and online purchases arrive your new personal assistant adds the new items to the old, learning about organization while giving you a much-needed break!
