Seven Ways to Start the School Year Right

BY JANEEN LEWIS

School bells will soon be ringing, and while that means no more sleeping in or lazy days at the pool, welcoming structure and routine back into family life helps get kids who are reluctant to return to school more motivated to go. With a positive attitude and a few back to school tips, even reluctant school goers can start the school year off right. And getting off on the right foot paves the way for school success for the entire year.

1. Reintroduce nightly routines.

It’s easy to get off schedule during the summer when longer days beckon kids outside late and sleeping in is easy to do.

Introduce nightly routines before school starts or as early in the school year as possible because it may take children a few days to adjust. Read a book together as a family to simulate academic routine before daily homework starts. If you have tweens or teens that have been staying up late, take their bed time back 15 minutes every night until you get to the desired bedtime so it isn’t too much of a shock to kids’ sleep cycles.

2. Get organized.

Organize those areas that you will use for school preparations. Make a place for lunch and breakfast items in the refrigerator and pantry so they will be 10 August 2018 | PB Parenting |

ready to go when making lunches or breakfast. Restock home desk supplies and prep study areas. Organize your laundry room with baskets for school uniforms, sports uniforms, and individual kid’s clothes. Don’t overlook your vehicle.

Keep a basket with all the things you might need for those busy hectic drives between school, work and after-school activities.

3. Purge last year’s items.

Go through backpacks and closets and get rid of anything that is outgrown or worn out. Sell the nicest items at consignment stores or a yard sale, and save what you make to put toward new items this school year.

If your child has a hard time letting go of items even though they are worn out or don’t fit, try putting them in storage for a month or two, then bring them back out. I’ve done this with my own kids, and usually they are willing to give up the items when they realize they haven’t missed them.

4. Devise a shopping strategy.

After you have purged your home of old items, it is fun to replace them.

Sometimes kids get excited about returning to school because they get

If your school has already sent a supply list, you can shop early and avoid the crowds and out-of-stock items.

Sometimes I even shop late in the evening for school supplies when the aisles are less crowded so I can look carefully for what my kids need. The more you plan, the more you can do in one trip. You might even make it a special day out with kids.

5. Attend school orientations.

teacher, check out their classroom and see friends they haven’t seen all summer.

This can make students previously hesitant to return to school eager to get started.

6. Set goals.

Help your child set a goal for the school year, or set a family goal together. Maybe your child wants to ace pre-algebra, start a kid blog or read more books than they read last year. Or maybe he or she wants to kick more goals in soccer this year or nail that back handspring they have been working on in gymnastics. As a family, maybe you want to volunteer together at school or raise money for a worthy cause in the community. Setting goals can motivate kids and families to have an amazing school year.

7. Celebrate with back to school traditions.

It can be simple, like snapping a morning

Health & Wellness

Too Sick for School?

I’m usually a pretty good judge of when my kids are too sick to go to school or daycare, but other times — like when my youngest seems to be dragging but has no fever — I’m just not sure. How can I tell when they’re well enough to go to school and when they should just stay at home?

– Allyson Many parents have a hard time deciding if their kids are well enough to go to school.

After all, what well-intentioned parent hasn’t sent a child off with tissues in hand, only to get that mid-morning “come get your child” phone call?

But making the right decision isn’t as tough as you might think. It basically boils down to one question: Can your child still participate in school activities? After all, having a sore throat, cough, or mild congestion does not necessarily mean a child can’t be active and participate in school activities.

So trust your instincts. If your son has the sniffles but hasn’t slowed down at home, chances are he’s well enough for the classroom. On the other hand, if he’s been coughing all night and needs to be woken up in the morning (if he typically wakes up on his own), he may need to take it easy at home.

24 August 2018 | PB Parenting |

Of course, never send a child to school who has a fever, is nauseated, vomiting, or has diarrhea. Kids who lose their appetite, are clingy or lethargic, complain of pain, or who just don’t seem to be acting “themselves” should also take a sick day.

If you decide that your child is well enough to go to school, check in first. Most childcares, preschools, and grade schools have rules about when to keep kids home.

For example, pinkeye or strep throat usually necessitates a day home with appropriate treatment. Usually, kids can’t return to school or childcare until at least 24 hours after a fever has broken naturally (without fever-reducing medicines).

And remember, go with your gut. You know your kids best, and you know when they’re able to motor through the day — and when they’re not.

First Line of Defense Against Germs Germs can spread many ways, including: • touching dirty hands • changing dirty diapers • through contaminated water/food • through droplets in the air released during a cough or sneeze • on contaminated surfaces • through contact with a sick person’s body fluids When kids come into contact with germs, they can unknowingly become infected simply by touching their eyes, nose, or mouth. And once they’re infected, it’s usually just a matter of time before the whole family comes down with the same illness.

Good hand washing is the first line of defense against the spread of many illnesses — from the common cold to more serious infections, such as meningitis, bronchiolitis, the flu, and most types of infectious diarrhea.
