Each school year is a fresh opportunity to learn, grow, and make new memories. There is so much to look forward to, but transitions are not always easy. The start of a new school year can bring both excitement and nervousness. Easing back into a routine can help your family beat the back-to-school blues and start the year feeling confident and ready for success.

Here are some tips to ease back into a routine for the school year:

  1. Start a routine a few weeks before school begins.
    1. Begin practicing your routine 2 weeks before school starts.
  2. Layout everything you will need the night before.

  3. Limit screentime before bed.

  4. Eat a good breakfast.
    1. Start the day with a balanced breakfast to give kids energy for the day ahead.
  5. Practice your morning routine.
    1. Practice what your routine will be on school mornings.
