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!
