Back to School Hacks for Parents

Back to school can be hectic for both kids and parents. While this is a bittersweet time for most, it can also be a highly stressful time too. Keeping the house in order, school shopping and getting your child ready for the school year can be a lot to handle at the end of the summer — but it doesn’t have to be! Check out some of these back-to-school hacks for parents below.

Waking Up and Getting Ready:

Ease into the routine. Going from summer to school is a big leap! You may want to start the regular school-year-routine a week before school actually starts. Get the kids to bed on time and stick to a schedule. This will make going to bed early and waking up early less of a shock.

Reading to your child every day for about 20 minutes can reinforce learning, a love for literacy and spark their imagination! This will also help them fall asleep!

AC Tip:

The best temperature for sleeping is around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Research has also found that rooms as low as 60.8 degrees with a pile of blankets also is a great way to get a good night’s sleep.

Visit the School:

To get your child comfortable with his or her new school and schedule, take a trip to the location! You can drive and get yourself familiar with the route, or if your child’s school has an open house then definitely take advantage of that.

Talk it Out:

Talk about your child’s hopes, dreams, plans and friends! To make the start of school less scary, talk it out with them. They will feel more comfortable and excited knowing they have your full support and excitement as well! It’s important to spark creativity and a love for learning.
