Tips for students heading back to class
Parents can follow these tips to help students as they prepare to return to school, courtesy of healthychildren.org:
- Take your child to visit the new school or classroom before the first day of school. Attend any orientations you can and take an opportunity to tour the school.
- Remind children that teachers know that students may be nervous on the first day of school.
- Point out the fun aspects of school starting to help your child look forward to the first day of class. Talk about how they will see old friends and meet new ones, for example.
- Find another child in the neighborhood your child can walk to school or ride with on the bus. If you feel it is needed, drive your child (or walk with them) to school and pick them up on the first day.
How to develop a healthy sleep routine
- Help your child adjust to earlier bedtimes a week or two before the new school year starts.
- Create a bedtime routinethat is consistent to help your child settle down and fall asleep.
- Have your child turn off electronic devices well before bedtime.
