Summer will be over before we know it, and that dreaded yet beloved “back to school” season will arrive sooner than we think. With how hot the temperatures are, it feels like ages ago since the schoolbells rang. While we’re busy making summer memories, whether playing at the beach, fishing at the lake, traveling abroad, or relaxing on a staycation, it’s never too early to start thinking about school.
Maybe your kids are (or will be) elated to go back to school, and maybe your kids feel anxious about an unfamiliar school environment. Either way, here are 5 simple ways to help kids feel eager heading back to school.
If your kid is transitioning to a new school environment, ask them what they know or don’t know about their school.
Changing from a summer bedtime and morning routine to a school night and morning can be tough for kids. To help get your kids off to bed and out the door in the morning consistently, create a schedule with them mapping out what will happen each night and day. You can get them involved by drawing symbols that represent each step while you write.
Kids feel more confident to get their day started if the outfit they’re wearing makes them feel more confident and comfortable. Lay out their outfits the night before to prevent any outfit debates when you need to quickly get them to school. At Mila & Rose, we have many outfits that your kid will be enthusiastic to wear.
Fuel the excitement with a dress, tee, skort, or skeggings from our Back to School collection!
And don’t forget, you’re never fully dressed without a smile! :)
If your child has trouble getting up in the morning, play their favorite music to dance to when waking them up. Music can help decrease stress and ease anxiety. Plus, it improves your overall mood! Ask your kids what songs make them the most happy and create a morning playlist together.
Check out our dresses, such as the Top of the Class Tank Tutu Dress, which are perfect for twirling through the morning!
Hype them up on the first day of school by taking cute photos in their back to school outfit! It does not have to be fancy; it can just be them with their backpack by your front door. What’s important is that it will help improve their self-esteem, self-empowerment, and instill confidence in them to take on the school day.
Also, show off your school pride the Mila & Rose way by repping your school colors, or donning our licensed apparel, such as our local Southlake Carroll Dragons collection!
As we approach the halfway point of summer, make your back to school shopping easy with Mila & Rose! Our outfits are perfect for learning and playing, with comfortable, soft fabric that stays bright with every wash. With plenty of patterns and styles to choose from, you and your kid will be excited to show off their outfit every day!

Whenever you meet anyone for the first time, one of the first things you might recognize about them is their hair.
