Back-To-Season is in full effect, from fall sports sign-ups to back-to-school shopping parents have a lot on their plates. Below you will find out the top 7 Things You Need to Do to Have A Stress-Free Back-To-School Season.
7 Things You Need to Do to Have A Stress Free Back-To-School Season
- Set up doctor appointments
- From pediatricians to dentists, back-to-school is the perfect time for yearly check-ups. This allows you to create a check-up routine not only for your kiddos but yourself.
- Sign up for fall sports and activities
- Fall sports and school activities are a great way to kick off the school year, keep an eye out for announcements and the school’s social media pages for sign-up deadlines and information.
- Start Meal Prepping for busy nights
- Meal prepping dinners are key for those busy nights at games and practices, set up a meal schedule for the week to take the guesswork out of planning your family’s dinners.
- Go over the school calendar and add it to your family calendar
- Back to school also means back to all the after-school activities. Between field trips, soccer practice, and football games you need a place for all activities. Creating a family schedule makes sure everyone is on the same page, with nightly activities and the weekly schedule. This can also act as your family command center, for field trip permission slips and school signups.
- Transition to an earlier bedtime and wake-up time
- Children will need some time to get back to the sleeping pattern that they had before the summer holidays started. In order to make it easier for the kids to be awake early in the morning.
- Create, Clean, and organize study spaces
- With hybrid learning last year your kiddo’s desk may have become a catch-all over the summer. Take an evening to clean up the study space and even add some decorations to make it their own.
- Discuss school year expectations
- These goals don’t just have to be academic, they can focus on personal growth. If your kiddo struggles in a certain subject, have them set a goal to reach a certain grade before the first-grade card. If he or she is new to a school or more of an introvert, challenge them to talk to someone new each day or sit with someone new at lunch.
With these tips, you and your student will ace this school year!
