With the school year fast approaching (as sad as it makes me – it is almost August!), I was thinking about advice that I’d offer students and parents for the upcoming school year.
I think the best advice I can offer is to establish a routine in the weeks leading up to the new school year. If you try to set up routines (such as school night bedtimes) to close to the start of the school year, it is really difficult to get everyone in sync before school begins and without those routines, the first weeks back can be a nightmare!

Master Lock® has hired a new specialist on student life to help students safely and securely navigate this school year in style. The Master Mind, a suave and funny college grad, is staring in a humorous online video series on in which he, along with his clever Little Sister, are setting out to answer students’ most frequent, awkward and perplexing questions on http://www.facebook.com/masterlock.

You can also ask your questions to Master Mind and participate in daily sweepstakes for a chance to win back-to-school must-haves, including popular Master Lock school and campus security products.
Be sure to check it out! Contest closes on September 16th!

I posted this information to enter a contest for a Master Lock back-to-school prize pack as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club. The opinions expressed are my own and have not been influenced in any way.
