| | From Diane Schmidt, your About Home Editor It's really coming down to the wire: school is just days away and if you're like any busy parent, you may still be scrambling to get things ready. Or maybe you're ready - having bought the books, paper and pens - but are thinking you want to create a rich learning environment at home and aren't sure where to begin. Well, right here, of course, with our tips for starting the year off right. | | Create the Perfect Study Environment for Your Child My next door neighbor, who is seven, was telling me that he expects that he'll be given at least an hour of homework a night - something that was unheard of when I was his age. To install strong study habits while kids are still young, the place to start is with their study space at home. Find out how to create that perfect spot to inspire your child's learning. | Use Feng Shui To Encourage Learning Speaking of encouraging learning, find out how to use Feng Shui to do just that. It's all about color, creativity and adding the right amount of inspiration to your child's room so they'll not only have a place to call their own, but one that will keep them interested and engaged. | Essential Back-to-School Gear If you haven't quite made it to the school supply store or if you're still debating which backpack to buy, don't panic. This is the back-to-school guide that will keep your kids healthy and happy with supplies that are made for little hands and growing spines. | Back-to-School Activities and Crafts School shouldn't always be about rules and bells and being quiet. If your kids are not looking forward to the school year, then why not host a craft fun day this weekend? Not only will it get kids excited about the first day, but they'll also have a chance to spend a free day creating one-of-a-kind crafts that will take their pens, pencils and school books from drab to fab! | | | | Home Ads | | | | Featured Articles | | | | More from About.com | | | | | | Free Children's Books How would you like to have access to a free online public library of books from around the world for kids 3 to 13?
