Special Replay: Keeping Your Calm This School Year
Manage episode 429093334 series 2354698
Special Replay! School approaches … can you believe it? Here’s a special replay with some special tips to help you get ready to have a calm school year!
Thanks to our sponsor, CTC Math.
As this school year approaches, I thought I would share some of my plans to have a calm year! This year I have one 7th grader, one 9th grader, two high school seniors, one in Estethecian School and one junior in college. Whew, that is a lot. I will be honest, the first couple of weeks I find myself struggling to get us all on the same page. Between school, jobs, sports, etc… keeping this house running smoothly is a challenge.
Here are some of my tips for surviving back to school:
- Create Dream Posters.
- Create a Healthy Meal Plan.
- Follow Through on Healthy Meal Plan.
- Plan a family night to make dream posters. You will need poster board, markers, magazine, and glue. Invite your children to create a dream poster and display them in your home.
- Have a Dream Poster Date Night with your partner/spouse.
- SLEEP… get sleep. Make sure everyone in the home is getting enough sleep.
- Organize your space and remember less is better. Don’t forget to create a cozy corner for reading books/getting away.
- Take time to watch and listen. What are your kids talking about, playing with, dreaming of? What pushes their buttons, brings them joy, challenges them?
- Create a realistic routine that you can live with. Encourage children to stick with routine.
- Be Flexible – If something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to change it.
