Establish a Routine

Our first tip is to establish a back-to-school routine before the school year begins. Encourage your child to gradually adjust their sleep schedule to ensure they are well-rested and ready for the early mornings ahead. Setting regular meal times, study hours, and bedtime routines can help create a sense of stability and consistency that is crucial for academic success.

Get Excited for School

Secondly, involve your child in the back-to-school preparation process. Take them shopping for school supplies, let them pick out their backpacks and lunchboxes, and involve them in organizing their study space at home. By empowering your child to take ownership of their school preparations, they will feel more invested in the upcoming school year.
