00:00 The start of the new school year means parents and kids are shopping for the
00:03 centrals. Well here to help as journalists and parenting expert Erica
00:07 Souter with tips for gearing up and getting kids excited about being the
00:10 classroom. Good morning, Erica. How are you?
00:13 Good. Good morning, Brad. Okay, let's talk about why it's important to
00:17 prepare the kids to get back in that school year. Oh yeah, back to school
00:22 time can be so hectic for everyone in the family, especially busy parents. I
00:26 know as a mom of two, it's all about doing the prep work and using every
00:30 single resource at my disposal. So I don't go crazy. Erica, let's talk about
00:36 the classroom because that is really where we need to focus on, especially
00:40 right now with the kids just getting back in that rhythm. Yeah, it's so
00:44 important. Sometimes as parents, we don't know how to help our kid,
00:47 especially if they're struggling a little bit in a subject. That's where
00:51 I. Xl comes in. It's a learning program that 14 million student use
00:55 students use from preschool to high school. They cover math, language, arts,
00:59 science, social studies and I. Xl has thousands of interactive practice
01:04 problems and videos, lessons and games. So your child can build on what
01:09 they're learning in school, understand and correct their mistakes, but also
01:13 gain the confidence to explore other topics. And I love that. That's great. I
01:17 love that. Like we're using the technology. It's working very well.
01:20 Okay, give us the secret for success for the college aid students. This is
01:25 something we need help with. Oh my gosh. College students are notorious for not
01:30 getting enough sleep. So for this group, I recommend the sleepies back to
01:34 school bundle by mattress firm. It's really amazing. The freshman bundle
01:39 includes everything you need. A sleepies, mattress topper, a too low
01:43 protector, pillow and sheet sheet set, and it's all under $200. They also have
01:49 sophomore, junior and senior bundles that include more things like a
01:53 mattress and a frame if you need it. And right now you can save a little bit of
01:57 money by taking advantage of the mattress firm Labor Day sale, where all
02:01 the bundles are up to 50% off. I need this when I went to school. Where was
02:06 this when I was going to school? Okay, the big thing, of course, is making sure
02:11 that everyone is fed with the school year. What do you got for us? Oh yeah.
02:16 You know, dinner time can be so tough on parents when they're really busy. So I
02:20 love that.
02:20 They're steam fresh veggies. You just grab a steam fresh bag from the freezer.
02:28 You cook it in the microwave. It's ready in minutes. You know, we keep the
02:31 broccoli, super sweet corn and the green bean stock. It makes my life so much
02:36 easier. I promise you like that. And also to you could send these to the
02:39 college kids because they all have microwaves in there and stuff. Keep
02:41 them fed. Absolutely. But you don't want to forget the little ones because we
02:45 have a snack recommendation for the littles. I love happy family organics.
02:50 They have an amazing variety of products like pouches, yogurt bites and bars. So
02:56 many delicious and nutritious options for your kids and you don't need to
03:01 refrigerate them so they're easy to take on the go. And parents love that.
03:05 There are unsalted eye options, no sugar options and their non GMO, no
03:10 artificial flavors and everything's made with organic fruits, veggies and
03:14 whole grains. And that's really great. And I know for me, I really appreciate
03:18 the happy baby clearly crafted pouches, which recently won the clean label
03:24 project purity award. And it makes me feel so good about giving this to my
03:27 kids. I like it. I like how there's a happy baby, the happy tots. That way,
03:31 you know, it's when you're getting as they get as they get older, which is
03:33 really cool. Oh yeah. So oh yeah. And as a grown up, I even snack on them. So
03:37 I love it. This is awesome. Where can we find more information about
03:41 everything we talked about? Yeah, you want to go to tips on tv dot com. It
