Summer Break is coming to an end and the start of the new school year approaches. Although student motivations to return to the classroom are low, this is the perfect time to work on your child’s habits to help them look forward to and adapt more seamlessly to the new school year.
Explain to your child that the end of Summer Break is not something negative, but rather the time to reunite with classmates and continue their development, making them look forward to going back to schooll.
Teachers also play an essential role in creating a welcoming environment in the classroom during the first few days of school, where students can bond before diving into academics.
Students will also need to get used to the school schedule again. Some hang out or stay up late talking with their friends during break, but winding down earlier before classes start will help your child adapt more easily to the school routine.
Reminding students to sleep earlier is optimal so that the change in their sleep schedule is not as drastic. Remember that sleeping an adequate amount of hours per night is essential for your child’s learning, development, and well-being.
Discuss extracurricular activities. Sports, clubs, and other activities aid child development. Additionally, children appreciate parent involvement, such as attending sports games or arts performances, etc.
Parents and teachers play a significant role in a child’s development. Talking about their feelings about returning to school, reuniting with their classmates, and their favorite subjects will help them feel supported.
