I know that it’s coming. There it is on my calendar: The First Day of School . Yet I never feel ready. It always sneaks up on me, hiding behind family trips or last minute pool parties, until … Gotcha! I’m scrambling to buy lunch bags and binders, everyone is up way too late, and no one is ready in the morning.
Does this sound familiar? Here are some tips for easing the transition from summer days to school days. Many are for all age groups, a few are more geared towards older or younger children. Please add your own suggestions in the comments!
Before School Starts:
The First Week:
If Your Child Seems Anxious:
This is my favorite time of year – full of expectation, possibility, and community. It’s a time to meditate on how your child is growing and changing. A time to fully, deeply appreciate the person they are now while pondering how this person will develop in the coming year. A time to trust your child’s abilities and sovereignty.
Welcome back! It’s going to be a magical year!
