Transitioning Back To School

8/1/2017

August is the time where summer is winding down and parents are preparing their kids for back to school.  During this time period many adults become overwhelmed and begin to lose sleep because they are up at night thinking about their to do list.  This can also be a stressful time for children.  Children may develop anxiety about making new friends and having a larger homework load. Here are some tips that parents can do to make the transition of going back to school easier for themselves and their children.

Begin a routine similar to the school routine. Most children stay up later and have different eating habits over the summer.  A parent can help the child prepare for school by starting a more “school like” routine about two weeks before school starts.  This requires an adjusted bedtime and ensuring healthy eating habits.  
Start discussing what will change when school starts. This prepares children for the upcoming school year.
Relax and breathe deep! The transition to back to school can take some time but it won’t last forever.

Brace yourself and emphasize the positives of going back to school again!
