 School Day Tips for Parents and Students

Four things parents can do to help their children achieve better academic results:

1. Impose the two-week rule. With later bedtimes over the summer, children need to ease back into their school routine rather than having a
sudden change their first day of school. Using the last two weeks of summer to re-introduce a school year bedtime routine will make waking up
on that first day a lot easier.
2. Reintroduce regular meal times. During summer months, kids tend to grab a snack several times during the day. Parents can start reminding
students to get back into a three-meal-a-day schedule in order to regulate their system into the back-to-school mode. Nutrition is an important
factor in academic performance, and eating a healthy, balanced breakfast and lunch keeps kids alert throughout the day.
3. Create a family calendar. Time management is tricky for everyone, especially kids and teens, but planning is an important way to save
everyone’s sanity. Having major deadlines, due dates, events and extracurricular activities in one place helps kids visualize their week, manage
their time and stay on track.
4. Don’t ditch good habits. If you and your child have established a good summer learning routine, when school starts try not to forsake all of the
fun reading, writing and art activities that kept your child engaged all summer.
