6 Tips For a Smooth Back to School Transition
Adjusting to the first couple of weeks of school in the Fall can be hectic. Here are six tips to make the transition easier for the whole family.
1. Start practicing bedtime and breakfast roll call the week before school.
This will eliminate the first couple weeks of school morning-tug- of-war. Your children will know what is expected, and their bodies should have adjusted their internal clock by the first day of school, to wake up on time out of habit. Decide what bedtime is appropriate for each of their age groups, and what time everyone must be up by to account for showers, getting dressed, eating and brushing teeth. Practicing the week before allows for trial and error to get it just right.
