Prioritizing sleep enhances emotional resilience for families transitioning back to school. Early nights should be established within the first two weeks to adjust to new schedules. Creating enjoyable mid-week routines can alleviate post-vacation blues and promote positive experiences associated with school. Simple activities such as hand massages, reading, or preparing special lunches can make the transition smoother. Acknowledging that children adjust at different rates without judgment fosters a supportive environment during this period of change.
Transitions back to school after summer can be stressful and emotional, or exciting but exhausting. With some forethought and planning, simple strategies can ease the transition for the whole family.
Sleep is the foundation of our emotional resilience. When we have under-slept, coping with anything is harder.
Create simple mid-week routines that you associate with the transition back to school or with school weeks in general. This will help avoid the trap of living for the weekend.
It's important to accept differences in children's adjustment capacities without judgment.
