Routines, Routines, Routines......they set your child up for success!

Routines are a very important part of adult lives and that life skill is taught beginning at an early age. Even before school, routines were a part of your child's life: bedtimes, times to get up, feeding schedules and nap times, to name a few. Routines send a message that something needs to get done or is important.

As the new school year gets underway, routines are important to establish and stick to. This sends the message to your children that school is important and something to take seriously.  Some routines to consider for the upcoming year to help make your child successful include:

1. Set homework time
2. Designated homework/study location in the house
3. Set a time to end/get off all electronics
4. Consistent bedtime 
5. Regular hygiene routines
6. Consistent wake up time
7. Morning "Out the door" list, including breakfast, dressing, morning hygiene & morning transportation
8.  Before/After school routines

Make this year a GREAT and SUCCESSFUL school year by establishing routines early and reinforcing them often!

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I am always here to help in any way that I can.
