6. Make a plan before going for shopping

Image
Parents need to make a plan before shopping. This prevents them from over shopping and overbuying. Make a list of all the things that your child needs for school. Parents can get it from the child's class teacher. Teachers usually have a specific list of what the child needs in order for them to conduct lessons. Buying too many school items causes the learner to be overwhelmed and they are not sure of which items  to use specifically. If parents are not provided with the list it is advisable for them to buy less stationary for learners because less is more. Make a plan before shopping  The link#  shopping hat
