Warming up to the early morning routines!
The very first challenge every mom faces is to get the child back to the school routine after an amazing ‘stay-up-late summer break. To avoid the unpleasant waking-up experience on the first day of school, you can start getting your child to follow the new bedtime schedule at least a week before school starts. Early to bed and early to rise is always a great habit to follow.Establishing Homework Routines
Children are likely to get frustrated with the increase in homework schedules. Also, their lack of motivation towards completing the homework might cause disruptions in your family’s schedules. To avoid this, encourage them to complete their homework by removing the distractions, rewarding them for their accomplishments, and for finishing their tasks.Learn more about Lumos Back-to-School online program that helps your kids
