Getting schoolbags ready can be extremely time-consuming, so don't leave this till the last minute and risk losing precious time (and your temper) in the morning.
Be organised and pack your child's schoolbag the previous night. Even better, make it one of your kid's must-do nighttime chores to teach them how to be organised - dinner, shower, brush teeth, pack schoolbag. This way, all you need to do is double-check that they have packed everything.
Remember to place the bag near your front door so you can literally grab it on your way out!
