In the holidays the sleep rhythm gets disturbed. For children too. The first week of school is a trial.
Prepare your child
Prepare your child by keeping the last week of the holidays calm. Avoid a full agenda. The first week of school takes a lot of energy, new teacher, new group, perhaps a new school.
Build step by step
Build towards regularity step by step: each day a little earlier to bed, a little earlier up. No intense gaming just before bed. Calm music, a book, a story, that works better.
Preparing the night before
Getting everything ready the night before, clothes, school bag, sandwiches, saves a quarter of an hour in the morning.
Time to adjust
Give time to adjust: not too much after school in the first week. Let children unwind. Agreements about food, TV and bedtime help restore the rhythm.
