We may be going through a period that will go down in history, that we have changed family and health habits to overcome Covid-19. Public Administrations such as the Junta de Andalucía are adopting measures to adapt the return to schools in the 2022-2023 academic year with frequent ventilation, cleaning of toilets twice a day and hydroalcoholic gel at the entrance to the centre and the classroom.
But like every year and without anything changing, summer ends and in September, families begin to prepare for the return to the work routine, the return to school or, for the little ones, the beginning of the “great school adventure”.
Tips for the first day of school
It is time to face the anxiety that comes with this period, when parents' anxiety sometimes exceeds that of their children. To overcome this anxiety, experts recommend following some advice the day before school starts.
1. Talk to them about school and the friends they have or will make in a positive tone.
2.- Make sure they get a restful sleep the night before.
3.- Wake up the children with enough time to have breakfast, get dressed and go to the center.
4.- Personalize your clothes and belongings.
5.- Ensure that the backpack does not exceed a reasonable weight.
6.- Pamper snack time and select foods that are beneficial for your children's health and development, such as fruit, juice, or sandwiches, as another way of learning healthy habits.
7.- Prepare the backpack or snack with them and thus foster the child's sense of independence and responsibility.
8. - Don't prolong the farewell at school or daycare to reduce the nervousness associated with this moment.
When they come home, show interest in what they have seen, share time and songs with them during their first tasks so that these are pleasant and shared moments that help them acquire discipline.
Eco-friendly proposals for personalizing school supplies
Back to school is an inevitable moment that can be experienced with excitement by children, parents and those companies that want to visualize their brand through personalized ecological gifts that help the return to school of adults and children. Here we offer you some suggestions.
1.- Personalized school backpacks.
There is no return to school without it and a personalized school backpack can be the best promotional showcase for companies. It is an item that can be used for various purposes, such as an urban backpack, a school backpack, a travel backpack, an excursion backpack or sometimes a shopping bag, depending on the need. And as a corporate gift, it offers a large surface area for advertising and personalizing both the brand and phrases.
2.- Reusable bottles to personalize
New circumstances have forced us to adapt to personalizing even what was once the most common, such as drinking water from the fountain. Our children must now carry personal items such as lunch boxes or sandwich boxes , which allow them to stay well hydrated throughout the school day. This ecological refrigerator , in addition to being a cheap, pretty, original and practical merchandising gift , will avoid those possible incidents of water leakage due to not closing a bottle properly and the subsequent disaster that would cause in a school backpack.
3.- Pencils and pads with seeds
Companies have been aware for some time about advertising their services through sustainable gifts in training, items that are made with ecological raw materials, biodegradable, and/or recycled, with the personalized gift with seeds being the one that has a more direct action on the environment. With ecological items for training such as pencils, pads and notebooks, which many homes have received through attendance at fairs or conferences, your children will also learn the importance of knowing how to choose materials that help the planet.
This is an example of personalized merchandising that your company can prepare to have great visibility in schools, universities and training centers. Shall we prepare the backpack together?
