The kids are back in school! Ready for a homework helper? Now we get to spend hours & hours doing homework at the kitchen table. Let’s make this process a little easier.
First, allow your kids some free play time when they get home from school. Letting them release some energy & play will help their concentration later in the evening. Next, give them a snack. A protein-packed snack helps the brain calm down and fuels the body & brain. Finally, provide a quiet or calm space for them to work. At my house, this is the dining room table cleared of all distractions. I am only a few steps away and available for help.
During homework time, get out your diffuser and try one of these blends to help your student get through that evening homework session.
If you don’t have a diffuser, consider using a personal inhaler with 12-15 drops of your selected blend on the reusable cotton wick! Allow your child to decorate the inhaler tube with his or her name. Empowering children with tools they can use to manage their education is so important!
Don’t underestimate the benefits of a good diet and proper rest, as well! Studies show that proper nutrition and rest are just as important to your child education as the teacher they have or the school they go to!
