Back to School Tips for Parents That Don’t Suck

Because ‘just breathe’ isn’t a back-to-school strategy.

Former teachers (and moms who’ve survived plenty of school years) share real-world advice—no apple-polishing required.

It's that time. Already. (Or maybe "thank goodness.)

The back-to-school ads started in July. The supply lists are longer than a CVS receipt. And if you hear “Mom, where’s my other shoe?” one more time, you might actually lose it.

 

We get it.

 

But here’s the good news: After 25+ years in classrooms and admin offices (and parenting our own tiny tornadoes), we’ve learned a few tricks to make this transition less chaotic.

 

Watch our bite-sized videos to:

  • Master mornings without yelling (okay, less yelling)

  • Handle homework battles like a pro

  • Support your kid—whether they’re obsessed with makeup, Minecraft, or both

  • Keep your sanity when you're (desperately) trying to get out the door

No fluff. No jargon. Just practical tips from teachers who’ve been in the trenches.
