Back-to-school time is the perfect moment to reboot your routines. Ready to try something new? From big ideas to small innovations, here are 5 tips to help you start off the school year on the right foot.

Great tips! I like that your first suggestion is to teach children that there is never a limit to how much knowledge they can get and there is always room to improve. I think that this is really important to learn while you are young. I think that this should also be taught all throughout your education. I feel that sometimes college graduates forget that they still have a lot more to learn.
