Tips on how to prepare your child for the 2023 school year:

Tip 1: Restart your sleep routine. Be sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Plan your bedtime and have your son or daughter set an alarm.

Tip 2: Shop for school supplies as a team. Pick out backpacks, lunch boxes, pens, binders, etc… Choose items that get your son or daughter excited about school.

Tip 3: Get organised! Set up a homework station, prepare a location for important papers, and identify a location to recognise your child’s success.

Tip 4: Create some goals. Think about what you want to accomplish this year. Be sure to make your goals S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and in time).

Tip 5: Take a deep breath and prepare your child for back-to-school. Visit the school, meet the new teacher, play at the school park and get together with friends. This is a good opportunity to discuss stress management.
