TEN PARENTING TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR

As the school year kicks off, it’s a time of mixed emotions for both parents and children - exciting, yet nerve-wracking. The shift from the relaxed pace of summer to the bustling routine of school can be a lot to manage. To ensure a smooth transition and a productive year ahead, here are our top ten tips to help your child stay organised, energised and ready for success.

STICK TO A STEADY ROUTINE

Children thrive on consistency and a regular routine is fundamental to give them a sense of security. Establish set bedtimes, wake-up times and meal times to help your little one’s internal clock stay on track. A steady routine will not only improve their focus during school hours but it will also ensure they get the restful sleep they need for their overall wellbeing and academic progress.

PREP THE NIGHT BEFORE

Mornings can be a whirlwind, so preparing the night before can make a big difference. Get your little one into the habit of packing their backpack, laying out their clothes and gathering any necessary school supplies before bed. Younger children might need a bit of help or supervision until this becomes a natural part of their evening routine, but stick with it because this one simple practice can really ease the morning chaos and set your child up for a positive start to their day.
