I still remember last year when I went down to the New Jersey shore for July 4th and found back to school supplies already on display in the local K Mart. I couldn’t believe it. Of course my daughter was thrilled to be able to sift through the piles of cute folders with animal pictures and current Disney stars adorning the covers. I, on the other hand, found myself feeling a bit frustrated at this display.
The mom in me wanted a break from school, including supplies. The therapist in me was annoyed that stores didn’t have this supply display flaunted all throughout the school year. So many of the disorganized kids I work with need to replenish their supplies during the year. Many times they’ve hit road blocks when searching for the right supplies. Moms report being told by store employees that some school supplies can only be found during the early school months. Obviously, the executives at these supply companies do not have disorganized kids.
So let the races begin. Stock up on the appropriate school supplies to last throughout the year. Remember to check out our book, for the best list of school supplies.
