(Tip #1) To get your child ready for school - Remember Routines. Family routines tend to slide in the summer—after all, what’s summer without crazy bedtimes and wearing swimsuits for days on end?—and it can be hard to readjust come fall. Practice school bedtimes a week before school starts so that the new routine is established.
(Tip #2) It’s time to get ready for school! Don’t underestimate the fun and importance of new stuff for the big day. With younger kids, a bag full of school supplies, a new backpack and a few new items of clothing tend to gear them up without any further encouragement.
(Tip #3) A way to get your child prepared to go back to school is to plan a fun family outing in August before school starts. Plan an event to celebrate the end of summer and welcome the new school season.
(Tip #4) When getting your child ready to go back to school - Be Organized. Ease back-to-school anxiety by being prepared. Help your children lay out their clothes and pack their backpacks the night before. Be sure to include a healthy lunch and a snack that your child can open and eat on his own.
