Was it just us or did the Summer fly by? We can hardly believe school is starting again! With an unconventional school year behind us, some kids may feel a little out of practice when returning to a traditional school day structure. 🚌⁠
⁠
Here are some educator-approved tips for starting the school year right:⁠
⁠
🖍 Ask for help. New teachers, classes, or even a school can feel intimidating. Encourage your child to ask school educators for help if they are feeling lost or overwhelmed.⁠
⁠
🖍 Make a morning checklist. Kid’s might be a little rusty when it comes to early mornings, manage the chaos by listing all the important items they need to grab (lunch bag, homework, school supplies) before they leave for school⁠
⁠
🖍 Prioritize mental health. Remind your child of the school's resources that are there to support them. Encourage them to seek help if they are feeling overly stressed, anxious, or depressed about the transition.⁠

August 26 is Women’s Equality Day 🚺 A day to encourage and promote equal rights and opportunities for women. As a female-owned business, we know first-hand the barriers women face. Data from 2019 suggests women hold only 25% of vice-president positions and 15% of CEO positions in Canada. As educators, we strive to empower the next generation with the tools and knowledge to overcome those barriers. 💪⁠

Meditation is gaining more attention as a great way to reduce stress and relax 🧘‍♀️ but did you know it also has several brain-boosting side effects? ⁠
⁠
Studies show regularly practicing meditation improves our memories, attention span, and learning capabilities by building and strengthening neural connections in the brain. 🧠⁠
⁠
Try setting aside just 5 to 10 minutes a day to completely clear your mind and discover the present.

School is around the corner, and with it comes early alarms, homework, and earlier bedtimes. Make the most of your weekdays (and save your sanity) by teaching your child basic time management skills. ⏳⁠
⁠
⏰ The littles: Just because they can’t read, doesn’t mean they can’t practice time management. Creating a picture-based schedule of their routine gives children visual cues about what’s next in their day and fosters independence.⁠
⁠
⏰ The big kids: Incorporate a visual timer into their homework session. Having the ability to visualize time helps kids stay on task and work more efficiently.⁠
⁠
⏰ The teens: Set priorities. It's essential kids learn to differentiate between the “Have to's” and the “Want to”. Teach them to prioritize their most essential tasks like school, homework, and sleep, so they have time for the fun stuff like sports and friends.⁠

We’ve all been there before, opening dozens of tabs on our computer only to have them slow down and overheat. Well, the same is true for our brains 🧠 When in high-stress learning or work environment, too much new information can lead to our brains shutting down. This effect is known as cognitive overload 🤯⁠
⁠
Cognitive overload occurs when we try to process more information than we can handle at a given time. Your brain is powerful, but when being bombarded with new stimuli, it can struggle to process and retain knowledge. Whether you’re trying to focus on school or work, here are some tips to manage your cognitive loads to ensure you don’t get overwhelmed:⁠
⚙️ Ask Questions. It always helps to have more context and information.⁠
⁠
⚙️ Eliminate distractions. Constant social media and text notifications can prevent you from concentrating on the task at hand.⁠
⁠
⚙️ One task at a time. Maximize your concentration by focusing on one topic at a time.

The science is in, having a morning routine starts your day off right. ☀️ Not only can it mentally and physically prepare you for the rest of the day, but studies show it can increase productivity, lower stress, and boost energy levels 📈 ⁠
⁠
A morning routine doesn’t need to be complex and can be as simple as waking up at a consistent time and performing the same few tasks. Tomorrow morning, try setting your alarm 30 minutes earlier, and instead of reaching for your phone, practice a short meditation, read a few pages, or go for a brisk walk. These activities will wake up your senses and allow you to start your day on the right foot.⁠

We’ve long been told not to quit and never give up, but often the most successful people have famously quit something – even Albert Einstein quit school at the age of 15. 📝⁠
⁠
Simone Biles & Naomi Osaka are some more recent examples of how sometimes, quitting is the healthiest choice a person can make. Now, Scientists have discovered that extended perseverance can result in effort-based fatigue and reducing motivation long term. This helps us better understand fatigue, its effects on the brain, and how it can affect work, school, and even elite athletes. Quitting can be beneficial, proven in reducing stress, improving energy, and empowering you to create space for new opportunities. 🍾⁠
