🧠DID YOU KNOW?
Summer learning loss can set a child back a whole month of learning especially in math and reading. The loss is larger at higher grade levels. What can you do to decrease this? Encourage reading time throughout the week, incorporate social emotional learning or activities and decrease screen time.

Life changes are never easy and navigating through them as a child can be scary. Talk to your kiddos about their fears and anxieties towards their transition to a new school.

Some ways that you can decrease these fears is:

1. Ask if they have concerns about their new school. Follow up with open-ended questions DON'T ASSUME.
2. Map out the school, google pictures, review their schedule. You can sometimes schedule a time to visit to walk through before the first day
3. Help your child identify safe people in the school (Teachers, Counselors, Nurses, Security etc)
4. Have them make a plan with a friend to check in with at lunch or recess.
5. Teach them breathing exercises to calm down or when to identify they need a break (walking to get a drink of water or going to the restroom to splash cool water on their faces).
6. If there's a meet the teacher event at your school take FULL advantage of it to explore the class, meet the teacher (bonus if child has questions you can make a list to ask), and explore the campus if allowed.
7. If your child is nervous about making friends explore some of the extracurriculars that they can get involved in- reach out to the sponsors or coaches of those organizations to learn more!

* If your child has extreme anxiety that is affecting their daily functioning please go online to schedule a session. www.clearmindsrgv.org

THIS IS YOUR REMINDER...
The new school year is a couple weeks away!
Try starting with a week of setting bedtime back (incrementally) to a "school day" time. THEN for the following week begin waking up a little earlier each day. The body's clock should do the rest! :)
