Getting your kids ready to go back to school

3 min read

Making sure your kids are ready to go back to school after their summer break is very important, as you need to slowly help them transition from the relaxed routine of summer, to the more rigid and structured routine that they have during the school year. Here are some useful tips:

1. Sleep early, wake up early

About a week before the start of school, you should already be preparing your kids to go back to school. One way would be to put them on a sleep schedule, especially if they tend to sleep late and wake up late during the summer. That way, they can get used to sleeping early, and waking up early to get ready for school.

It's important to make sure your kids get enough sleep since even losing just an hour of sleep can lower your child's ability to pay attention during class.

A lack of sleep can also make them feel very tired in school, and has a lot of negative effects on their health.

2. Get them back into the school routine

Aside from making sure your kid sleeps early and wakes up early, you can help them get back into the school routine by asking them to wake up, have breakfast, and get dressed at the same time every morning.

Establishing a routine should help them transition back into the mindset that they need when they go back to school.

3. Give them responsibilities

It's also important to give your child responsibilities such as preparing the things that they'll need for school, and making sure that they have everything they need.

Letting them do things on their own instead of doing it for them helps build your child's sense of responsibility and helps them become more independent, which are both important skills that they need to learn as they're growing up.

4. Make assignments a part of their routine

In order to make sure your kids always finish their homework, make it a part of their routine. Before school starts, you can keep their skills sharp by giving them simple "assignments" that they should do everyday. Make it fun and exciting, it doesn't have to be anything difficult, as the important thing here is keeping your child's mind active during the summer.

5. Get the family involved

To help your kids get ready for school, you can get the entire family involved. Preparing your kids to get back to school should be a team effort, and it's easier if the entire family is on board.
