Summer's drawing to a close and kids are starting countdowns. Parents can plan on getting back to schedules they had before the holidays began. As kids take a while to get used to new schedules, it's best to start a few things which will help them sync with school schedules.
Here are the most important you can look at:
1. Sleep schedule
This is the most difficult and important thing. Kids must get back slowly but surely to school week sleep schedules. Their bed time over the summer would have changed, but this needs to go back to what is required. A sleepy child is not suitable for school. For a teacher having a class full of sleepyheads spells big trouble.
2. Eating schedule
Again a difficult one, but if the first one falls into place, gradually hunger cycles will regularize. This is important, for you would not want a child to start her day without breakfast. It also helps to cut down on random snacking during the day. This way the kids get hungry and mealtimes are not difficult.
3. Preparing them for hours away from home
This mostly applies to younger kids, who are not used to staying away from home for long hours. As kids grow older, their friends, teachers and the fun they have at school, keeps them interested and occupied at school. Younger kids, who are in the younger classes, feel the need to get home to their parents/caretakers much sooner. They need the comfort of home.
Well, summer's drawing to a close. make the best of these last few days!
