Schools have just begun after Long Long Vacations!! During the vacations , thankfully Ramadan and two Eids came to keep the kids excited and busy. As soon as the vacations
start, the only thing parents have on their mind is how to keep the kids entertained and busy during the holidays while using this time as an opportunity to inculcate good values plus a great learning experience in them.
School Bags, Brands and Real Happiness:
With the start of a new school year, one thing which your kid and subsequently you worry the most is from where to buy the desired school bag and the school accessories. Of course as a parent you want your child to be happy but on the other hand you also have to make sure that your child doesn't get too much into high end brands. Eventually they have to learn the value of hard earned money!
As soon as the first day of school arrives, kids get overjoyed by the thought that they would show their new school bags and accessories to their peers but the hard part comes where comparing starts! Now at this point real test of parents start! You have to simply tell them that you have to own your things. Happiness comes from inside irrelevant of how expensive a brand you are carrying. You have to take pride in your own choice and in your own things!
This year my daughter so wanted to buy a bag from Justice or Smiggles. So finally she decided to get a Smiggles bag and I also love it as it has ample space to carry the books of a 10 year old plus it's so pretty to look at! We also ordered lunch bag and pencil case from Smiggles! They have got such pretty collection that you can't resist yourself from buying the items. But one thing that made me happy was when my daughter told me that I would use the same lunch box I had last year because it is in good shape! Sometimes it's not only about money; I mean how much would a mere lunch box cost? But it's about when your kids realize the difference between needs and wants plus between being frugal and extravagant. Hoarding is a pretty bad habit and by donating last year school items you don't need you also do a charitable act!
Starting new school year with a new homeroom teacher is also another exciting aspect for kids and teachers both and obviously for parents too! But it's all a part of unique learning experience every kids goes through.
Happy New school year to all the kids and mommies!
