Back-to-school jitters is a real thing, and we’re not just talking about that perm you rocked in the 80’s! As parents, you can help soothe the transition for your little ones with the following tips:
- Make a plan. A few weeks before school begins, set �” and stick to �” a realistic bedtime to allow children to get the recommended ten to 12 hours of sleep each night.
- Practice a routine. Before the first day of school, figure out how long it will take for everyone to get out of the house on time. If your children will be walking to school, practice the route showing them where to stop and if necessary, how to cross the street. If your children are bus riders, show them where to catch the bus and review the bus rules.
- Invest in something special. Get your children ready for school by making back-to-school shopping a family affair. During a shopping trip for new school supplies, let children cross off items from their lists as they fill the cart. This will keep them involved and excited during the process.
