Equipping children who go back to school with interesting school supplies will certainly increase the children's enthusiasm to go to school, at least that's how I used to feel when I returned to school with fancy stationery. However, equipping children with mindful activities will increase the child's confidence and calm in dealing with their daily activities with school, friends, and their parents.
