Back to School Routine

It’s back to school time again! Between all the back to school shopping and taking in the last little bit of summer relaxation, you may want to start getting the kids back into their school-year routine. This way, when the first day of school arrives, you’re kids meet the day refreshed and mentally prepared.

Sleep Schedule – begin getting the kids to bed at their regular school year bedtime. And, don’t let them sleep in too late. Wake them up a little earlier each day so that the first day of school isn’t a shock to their system.

Back to Chores – if you are like many parents, school-year responsibilities such as chores have fallen by the wayside during summer. Start to ease back into the chores and other responsibilities. This will begin to get the kids into a mindset to accept new responsibilities at home and at school.

Organization – Have your kids begin to gather up book bags and other items around the house that will be needed for the school year. Also, have them go school shopping with you to help select their supplies. When you get home, have your child organize all that’s needed for the first day of school into one place. Getting your child involved in organizing things for the upcoming school year will show them the importance of organizational skills. Hopefully, some of this organization will rub off on their lockers and desks at school.

Good luck on your school-year prep.
