Establish a Bedtime Routine
Sleep is extremely important for a successful day. Most children need 8-10 hours of sleep each night. A consistent routine can help.
Make sure electronics are off at least one hour before bedtime. Read a book before bedtime. Take a warm bath or shower. Use white noise machines or relaxing music.
Most importantly, go to bed at the same time every night. This will help the body adjust to a sleep schedule.
Eat A Healthy Breakfast
Healthy breakfast foods do not have to take long to make. Eggs, fruit, oatmeal and yogurt are all quick and nutritious. Starting the day off with a nutritious meal will have big impact on academic performance.
Talk About the What If's
What if I don’t have friends?
What if someone is mean to me?
What if I forget something at home?
What if I miss the bus?
Having a plan in place for the “what ifs” will help alleviate anxiety and give your child a course of action if something happens.
Get An Annual Checkup
A yearly medical exam is a must to ensure good health.
But, no matter how hard you try; children often get sick within the first few weeks of school. If that happens, take them to Rapid Urgent Care.
Also, if your child participates in sports and you need a sports physical ASAP Rapid Urgent Care can handle that too!
