Make New-School-Year Resolutions During The Motherhood and Capital One #SchoolCents Twitter Party

The back-to-school season marks the unofficial “New Year” for kids and parents. With new schedules, extracurricular activities and nightly homework assignments, it can all get a little chaotic fast. That’s why it’s helpful to make some “new-school-year resolutions” to do things like plan ahead, stay more organized, and create better homework habits. It’s also a great time to make financial resolutions.

The Motherhood is thrilled to be ringing in the new school year with Capital One during the “School Cents” Twitter party. We’re going to help each other prepare for the upcoming school year by sharing our best tips for back-to-school money management.

We’ll also be chatting with The Money Coach, personal finance expert Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, about back-to-school shopping tips and how to use back-to-school shopping as a perfect opportunity to teach kids about important spending and saving habits.

Join Twitter party hosts @theMotherhood, @theMotherhood25 (the Motherhood’s Twitter party account), @CooperMunroe, @EmilyMcKhann and @TheMoneyCoach and get started on your back-to-school resolutions. We can’t wait to exchange ideas, tips and advice for making the next school year the best one yet!
