FAMILY ORGANIZATION- CREATE A COMMAND CENTER

What is a Command Center

A family command center is just a designated space in your home that serves as the central place for organizing daily chaos,such as schedules, school papers, calendars, car keys, etc).

What Should Be Included in a Command Center?

What you include in your command center varies based on your family’s own needs, but they frequently include things like a family calendar, a place for papers, a place for notes/messages, your meal planning, chores, homework schedules, and even hooks for keys and backpacks. Some families even like to include an entire calendar wall for emasy visual planning


CREATE A HOMEWORK STATION

Why a homework station important?

With the start of the new school year, it’s important to stay organized with a stress-free study zone in your home. Most children, especially younger age, work best with structure and routine. Setting up a specific place for them to land after school to focus on homework will help them achieve success in the coming year. The benefits of a homework station include improved focus and a designated spot to keep school-related items together. This area will keep both your student and your home organized.
