#1 AdjustSleep SchedulesEarly.

About one to two weeks before school starts, begin moving bedtime and wake-up times earlier by 15–30 minutes each day. A gradual adjustment makes early mornings much easier.

Do a few "practice runs" before the first day. Wake up at school time, get dressed, eat breakfast, and leave the house as if it were a regular school day.

#3 Createa Homework Station.

Designate a quiet, organized space for homework and studying. Stock it with school supplies so everything is ready when assignments begin.

#4

GetOrganized BeforeSchool Starts.

Pack backpacks, label supplies, organize school papers, and choose outfits the night before. Being prepared reduces morning stress.

#5 Acknowledge Emotions.

Ask your child what they're excited about and if they have any worries. Listening and offering reassurance can help ease firstday nerves.

#6 Support Healthy Habits.

Prioritize nutritious meals, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep to boost energy and focus.

#7 SetScreenTime Expectations.

Summer often brings extra screen time. Before school begins, establish family guidelines for devices, homework, and bedtime to create healthy routines.

#8 UseaFamily Calendar.

Keep track of school events, sports, extracurricular activities, appointments, and important deadlines with a shared family calendar that everyone can see.

#9 PreparetheNight Before.

Simple habits like packing lunches, filling water bottles, laying out clothes, and charging devices can make busy mornings much less hectic.

SchoolYear.

Create a fun back-to-school tradition, such as a special family dinner, a first-day photo, or letting your child choose a new backpack or lunchbox. Small celebrations help build excitement and confidence.

REMEMBER… EVERY CHILD ADJUSTS TO A NEW ROUTINE AT THEIR OWN PACE. WITH PATIENCE, CONSISTENCY, AND A LITTLE PREPARATION.
