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:
- Start a routine a few weeks before school begins.
- Begin practicing your routine 2 weeks before school starts.
- Layout everything you will need the night before.
- Layout your outfits and pack your lunch.
- Limit screentime before bed.
- Put screens away 30-60 minutes before bed.
- Eat a good breakfast.
- Start the day with a balanced breakfast to give kids energy for the day ahead.
- Practice your morning routine.
- Practice what your routine will be on school mornings.
