Emplify Health has tips on how to get kids ready for school.
First, they say to adjust kids’ sleep and wake times.
This is a huge adjustment for kids when it’s time to go back to school, so easing them into it now isn’t a bad idea.
Emplify Health suggests starting to put kids to bed and wake them up 20 minutes earlier each day until they are back on schedule.
Their second tip is to set expectations and schedules early.
This can be done by re-establishing a structured routine to their days, such as consistent mealtimes, bedtimes, and limits to screens.
Let the kids help you map out their daily schedules so they can take ownership of what their day consists of.
Their final tip is to update medical and allergy information.
Contact your child’s school and make sure they are up to date with vaccinations, required health forms, medications, and allergy information.
School is coming up quick, and getting kids adjusted in advance makes the switch from summer to school that much easier.
