Tweens and School Bags: The Abyss!

Have you ever taken a good look in the school bag of your tween?  The organizational abilities of most tweens seem to be seriously lacking, and having taught and parented this unique age range, I can honestly say that my first instinct when a tween is falling behind in school is to check out that tween school bag.  If there are a multitude of crumpled papers, pencil pieces, and who knows what else, you can just about bet that the organizational style of your tween is impacting grades and school performance. 

You can work on those organizational skills, but picking out an organizable school bag or backpack can help your tween.  The tool won't solve the problem, of course, as a tool is only as good as its operator. This blog is dedicated to providing some helpful tips to the parent of tweens, in terms of selecting, and organizing, a good school bag.
