5 Steps to Create a Smooth Transition Back into School

Summer is over for many children and it’s important to think about all the things that will help them and YOU get ready for the new school year. Chances are you’ve already stocked up on school supplies and buying new clothes. But there are a few more strategies that could help you and your family stay organized and on top of things. Below are a few steps that will help you be ready to turn arguments into opportunities and friction into function. 

  1. Planning ahead is the trick. Set up a family meeting and have each child set goals for the school year (yes, even preschoolers are capable to do this) and check them weekly. Bring out school calendar, family calendar: write down school schedule, what lunch will be each day, extra activities, including parents. Ask what they are most worried about and excited about when it comes to school.
  1. Keep communication open… honor feelings and seek to understand before being understood.
  1. Come up with limits and clear logical consequences if agreements are not honored. Make sure consequences are related to the agreement.
  1. Parents, make sure you are ready for the year and that you model what you are asking from them!
  1. Self-care is one of the most important things when it comes to raising strong, cooperative, responsible and happy children, even when you’re busy. More than the occasional bubble bath, self-care is about investing in yourself and your family so that you’re equipped to manage the inevitable stresses of family life.
