“Think Like A Kid for Back to School.” You’ll Get it!

Listen to any seven-year-old talk about going back to school and you roll with laughter on how mismatched your thoughts are compared to theirs. Besides bringing great comedic relief to any situation kids are full of wisdom and teach us many valuable lessons. Let the giggles go!

The number one most important subject in school is recess! You would’ve guested reading or writing, but you would be wrong! So most kids believe going to school to play is NUMERO UNO! But they did that all summer! We have to put on our seven year old brain to appreciate that answer and work in a lesson somewhere.

So how do you keep kid’s minds alert when the dreaded homework time comes? One word: COLOR. Get your little one a new colorful desk. This plum purple and vibrant lime green desk will keep any mind enthusiastic.
