Back to School

It is time to introduce the kids to the world of the school routine.  To help your child ease into the transition, try getting them to bed at a reasonable and consistent time each night.  Then create your own bedtime routine which could include bath and books.  Consistency helps a child know what to expect and battles can become less frequent.

Preschool is all about learning through fun exploration.  Your child may have circle time, center time and specials like gym, art and music.  Find out what they liked best about their day by asking questions at dinner or bedtime.  But don't forget to let your child have some decompression time after he/she gets home.  Their brains and bodies have been going for a while, and they might need to have a energy buster (or a nap) when they get home.  Try going to the local playground or just dancing to some music.  Remember have fun!
