Tips for Parents with Kids Going Back to School



back to school transitions


The start of the new school year is a difficult time for the entire family – the kids have a hard time adjusting to the rigorous schedule, to getting up early and performing at school, while the parents have a hard time integrating the school schedule of the kids into their own schedule. However, with some planning and organization nothing is impossible – here are a few tips from local Littleton counseling advisors, on how make the transition easier:
-        Switch to the sleeping routine you usually follow during the school year a few weeks before school starts – going to bed earlier and getting up earlier (probably much, much earlier) than during the vacation will make re-adjustment easier for the kids and everyone will be less tired;
-        Take your kids to some interesting exhibitions in museums to set them into study mood before the school starts;
-        Ask your kids to invite a couple of school friends to spend some time playing before the first school day – it will refresh the social ties and will make your kids look forward to meeting their friends again in school;
-        Involve your kids into making the list of school supplies that they will need and go shopping for the supplies together.
