Have you begun transitioning from summer time to back to school routines?
It's not to let to prepare for the school year.
Here are few tips on how to ease the transition from summer to school.
1. Get into the routine. Start transitioning by getting your kiddos up earlier and going to bed earlier.
2. Practice. Practice preparing lunches and practice their school time morning routine.
3. Phase out nap time for kindergarteners. If your child is going to all day kindergarten and they don't take nap breaks, you need to start this process prior to the first day of school.
4. Check out the school. Go to the open house or practice the drive to and from school.
5. Have a back-up plan. Make sure your child is aware of what to do if their pick up/drop off slides through.
Also, get your child excited to go back to school by creating a back to school countdown chain.
