Each school has their own requirements on what their students will wear to school. School uniform inculcates a feeling of belonging and discipline amongst students. However, buying a school uniform can be easier than you think. Here are some tips for you: 1. Buy larger sizes: Buy the school uniform shirts, skirts, pants, and other parts at least a size larger than your child’s size as children grow very fast. Also make sure the shoes fit properly with some room to grow, but not too much. Don’t buy a shoe so large for your kid that your kid returns back home but his shoes remain at school. Plus large shoes can be a tripping hazard. 2. Choose good material: You would want to buy a material that’s durable and comfortable for your kid. With cheap materials, you might have to continuously spend behind repairs and buying new ones. Plus a child’s skin is softer and more sensitive and may develop rashes from cheap materials. Buy good materials that will last for an average of 2 years from good and reputed stores. Visit www.ashleycreations.net to know more about such stores. 3. Buying from the official uniform store: Many schools have an official store that sells school uniforms and also other requirements of the school, like books, copies, etc. However not all schools are equally insistent that parents buy only from their store. Some can be pretty insistent, either because they believe in strict adherence to uniform rules or they receive a kickback, while others simple are not bothered whether parent shop from them. Know your child’s school’s requirements and shop accordingly. 4. Online shopping: This means online shopping from your school’s official store, if there are provisions for online shopping. If you are OK with the shipping cost to avoid the crowd of August, online shopping is your ideal tool. 5. Find out wholesale sellers: School uniforms can be pretty expensive, especially if you are buying from the school’s official store. So if your school is not very stringent regarding buying from them, find out whole uniform sellers on the internet and buy from them at far cheaper rates. If the cost is still high for you, you can buy from a parent of a child who is a few grades higher than your child. Organising a uniform swap in the school will help all parents get rid of uniform pieces that no longer fit their child. 6. Teach your child to care: Teach your child to care for hid uniform so that they last longer. Make him change his uniform as soon as he returns from school. Don’t allow him to play or eat in his uniform. Sew labels on the uniform if there’s any occasion of changing it in school, like for exercise or the gym. Since all students will be wearing the same uniform, a label will help your child to identify his uniform. If you can’t sew, simple make a symbol of some sort and let your child know it. ================================================================================================================ Author Bio: John Abelard is a renowned author.
