With millions of children heading back to school this week, parents across the country are stocking up on supplies, getting in touch with teachers, and setting expectations to help their kids succeed. Here are some tips for parents to help their kids prepare for going back to school:

Prepare a study area in a quiet part of the house where you can complete your child’s homework without any distractions
Children who eat healthy, balanced breakfasts tend to do better in school. Find out which kids do that, and instruct your children to cheat off them
Listen to your children’s feelings about returning to school before telling them the right ones to have

Purchase only no-name and off-brand clothes for your children to ensure that they are viewed as shrewd and individualistic by their peers
