Going back to school means getting up earlier and going to bed earlier. We talk about Stephen Covey's Seven Habits in school, too. The first habit, Be Proactive starts now. Being proactive is controlling the outcome by being prepared and doing things in a timely fashion to assure success. The following are ways that you can help your child be proactive:
Have a place to put homework and papers that need to be signed and returned to school.
Have a quiet place that your child can do homework.
A nutritious family meal and a relaxing bath helps body and mind.
Make sure your child has a quiet reading time before bed. It helps to calm down for sleep.
Lay out clothes and backpacks for the next day before bed.
Help your child get to bed on time and get up in time to have a good breakfast.
A proactive start to the day ensures your child's success!
