5 Tips To Help Your Family Mentally Prepare For Back To School

The first day back to school can be stressful for some, but it doesn’t have to be. 

Here are 5 tips on how to make the first day easy on everyone:

Start a back to school tradition by creating new fun events:

• Make their favorite breakfast or go to their favorite restaurant - starts the day off right and they connect this positive memory with going back to school.
• Have a family photo day - use small props like a chalkboard with the date, their grade, and age is written on it. This will make a cool keepsake for each school year. 
• Make special shirts - let them pick the style, color, and design

Once school starts, ease into it - adding too much too fast can be overwhelming. Start with lighter subjects then gradually add one or two new ones per week.

Plan outdoor activities - while the weather is still nice out, take a walk, have a picnic, schedule a play date, start a garden or maybe start building that new science lab (safety first of course).

Help them feel valued - getting their ideas and views about their classes and courses builds confidence plus you’ll learn more about their own individual learning style and interests.

​Stick with tradition - but in the end, some kids are just comfortable with tradition (back to school shopping sprees: new school supplies, new clothes, new lunch boxes and the crème de la crème… a brand-spankin’ new backpack).

Can’t beat starting the first day of school with new stuff.

​Try one idea, try them all or stick with what works. As long as the day is special in their eyes.
