The summer months offer your children a break from the daily grind of school and extracurricular activities. However, many routines are disrupted during this period of relaxation, from their dental care practices to bedtimes. Ensure your little ones successfully transition into school mode using these simple tips.

3 Tips to Getting Your Kids Back Into a School Routine

1. Establish a Schedule

Have your children follow a schedule three to four weeks before they go back to school. Set times for them to go to bed and wake up—you can start a little later and gradually get earlier as the first day of school approaches. When starting their day, help your children establish a routine that keeps them moving, such as a healthy breakfast followed by their dental care regimen and some downtime.

2. Prepare Snacks in Advance

3. Give Yourself Extra Time

Getting out of bed can be difficult if you aren’t used to doing it during the summer, so waking up a few extra minutes ensures you have enough time to shake off any grogginess. Set your alarm 10 to 15 minutes earlier than you need to so that you’re alert and ready if your little ones need help waking up or getting ready.
