Preparing to Go Back to School

August 11, 2020 | FSEAP Solutions

Are you feeling anxious about ensuring a smooth transition for children going back to school? After their lengthy absence, you may need to be more deliberate. Start to introduce daily routines and earlier bedtimes in preparation for the big day. Start winding down screen use an hour before bedtime, and consider having family evening meals together at a specific time to create a familiar structure going forward. Try a midday quiet-time period for reading/drawing that also can help manage stress and reduce anxiety. See www.sleepeducation.org for recommended child sleep requirements.
