Preparing for Another Week of School

Greetings Moms and Dads!

It’s the start of another week and the thought occurred to me to check in with you to see how you prepare your child for another week of school.  I hope they are looking forward to it even if they are like my son was, rarely “overly excited” about the thought! In spite of that, I always tried to make certain he had a great send off which began with his back pack prepared and getting to bed by 8:00.

An early bedtime is so essential if a child is to do well academically. Most elementary classes begin around 8:50 and middle school is earlier than that usually starting around 7:45, so you can see why an early bedtime is a must.

In approximately seven hours on the east side of the country kids will begin preparing for their school day. Remember, you began the preparation the night before and now morning preparation comes in. My question to you is “what about breakfast?”  Whatever you do, please do not let your child leave the house on an empty stomach.

One final note, whether you take them to school, ride share, or they take the bus, do you leave them with positive affirming thoughts before telling them how much they are loved?  I hope so.

“Single And ApParent” goes far more into detail on these topics and others so be sure you have your copy in hand, or on the way. It’s an easy reference to help and support you.  I hope you have a wonderful week!

Questions and comments are always needed and welcomed!
