Back to school for kids 🖍📓 📚 The fun doesn’t have to end when summer does!

Plan a small First Week of School Party to celebrate the end of the first week of school. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just something fun and intentional. Pizza Night? Game Night? Movie Night? Big transitions deserve a little celebration, as your kids made it through their first week!

Stories help kids name, understand, and process their emotions. Seeing characters navigate challenges can be a gentle way to explore difficult feelings or new experiences, such as going back to school.

Back to school for kids 🖍📓 📚 Acting out a school day helps reduce anxiety and builds confidence, especially for young children or first-time students.

Here are some ways to practice:

1. Role Reversal Routine
Let your child be the “grown-up” and tell you how to get ready for school! Have them make a checklist (“Brush your teeth! Pack your backpack!”) and tell you what you need to do to get ready for the day!

2. "Get Ready With Me" Video
Record a fun “get ready for school” video with your child. You can watch it together later, or use it as a future reminder when those sleepy mornings hit.

3. Stuffed Animal School Day
Great for the littles, have your child teach their stuffed animals or dolls how to get ready, line up, go to class, and eat lunch. It’s a great way to ease first-day nerves.

Back to school for kids 🖍📓 📚 School Visit and Meet the Teacher. Familiarity lowers anxiety. If your child is starting a new school (or even just a new grade), take a tour, walk the halls, and find their classroom. If your child's school hosts a "Meet the Teacher" event, this is an incredible opportunity! This helps your child put a face to their new teacher and see where they will be learning and spending their school days.

Back to school for kids 🖍📓 📚Good sleep = A better day. This year, help your child build a simple nighttime routine before school starts. We suggest no electronics in their room to avoid late-night distractions, a consistent bedtime, and a calm, quiet space to unwind.
