Black Belt Parenting Strategy: Back to School Season

Tips:

Help your child get enough sleep.
Turn off screens well before bedtime. Why screen time before bed is bad for children.
Recognize that your child may have unpleasant experiences at school, but your child will probably be okay.
Resist the idea that your kid can make up for your education.
The most important thing to learn in school is how to learn.
Resist the urge to think that school is the most "important" part of your child's life
