Get Confidence in myself to do the School run again

So I suppose you will say looking at the Title think, how is the school run got to do with getting confidence in doing this everyday think in school year and why not relax and take in these moments?

Well I do, yet I found it the first year like I was on some kind of mission, and being stress head comes with these type of worries. 

Looking at the cause, it was to do with the route to school, as we would cross over a really busy road, and yet it only had one Zebra Crossing but was an extra 10 minutes walk, which I didn't mind, but my son wanted to cross without using this, and I know terrible, and yes I would have fears about it. 

Then my son wanted to walk a different route and suddenly I was fine. 

So to help confidence in doing the school run, if you take the less stressed route to school, do it, as it saves you get worried and dreading it. 

Life is full of roads and often it the way we've gone about it has made it difficult. 

Now I am all about keeping it simple. I wrote two parenting sites on Wordpress, if you wish to check them out:

To get confident with doing the school run, have everything packed ready for the day, within plenty of time, but also plan the different routes if there are many different ways and go through which would cause less stress about it. 

Show your children of the route and how you will be taking them and who will pick them up at the end of the day. 

Have a check-off list of what you need to take on hand, and if you can attach it to a wall or fridge, whatever available, and the most used space in your home, that you and you children can clearly see it. 

Do a separate list of what you need to take and they need to, and help the school run easier, have them pack their bags and tick off the list. 

Just keep it simple, use any free time you have and delegate if you can, and have one parent to drop off and the other to pick up. Keep comunicating with other adults who will be assisting you, including the school teacher and your child. 

So lets get the first day done and then whatever helps save the stress do it.
