It’s that time again! School is back in session which means Summers over, great time with friends, sleeping in late, no agenda, the scheduled is filled with only fun comes to a screeching halt.
Getting back on track after summer break is a challenge for both Parents and Children.
#1 Emotional challenge: Having been with family or friends for a period of time in a non-stressed environment makes it all the more emotional when you have to separate the time for responsibilities.
#2 Physical challenge: Waking up early and Retraining your body from being on a casual break to sitting in class all day can make you more tired, fidgety, and less focused.
#3 Mental Challenge: Having to focus for hours on school subjects can be very trying on one’s brain. Mental fatigue sets in along with mood changes.
Prepare for a mock trial before school starts this will help get a head start on the above School Blue Triggers.
#1 Start family conversations to help shift the focus on school this will help create a plan to fit in everyone’s schedule. Ie: Preparing lunches, transportation, after school activities, sport practices and so on.
#2 Start going to bed 15 min earlier each night and wake up 15 min earlier each morning this will help your body adjust before school starts.
#3 Brain exercises … training your brain to focus on school and not summer fun will be a challenge especially living in Sunny Florida, but getting your brain in gear ahead of time will help ease you into your studies without difficulty.
Going back to school can be as fun as Summer Break.
It’s all about preparing, enjoying the gift of learning, and making memories!
