Getting back to the school routine can be very challenging for students and parents alike! Here are some tips to making this transition successful!
Morning Routines: About a week before school starts have your child follow the school morning routine. The routine you will follow throughout the school year can be practiced and perfected this week. Sit down together and make the routine: Example: Get up, brush your teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack bag, etc.
Evening/Homework Routines: About a week before school starts begin to implement this schedule into your daily routine. Create a evening routine that your child can easily follow. Have fun “practice homework” for them to complete during the homework time. Incorporate snack time, play time and homework time.
Sleep Schedule: We all know during the summer months we stay up later and sleep in longer. Begin to adjust the sleep schedule 2 weeks before the beginning of the school year. Begin waking your child up a little earlier each morning until you’re back on your school morning schedule.
