  1. Get back into a routine. Slowly adjust your child’s routine a week or two before school starts – start waking up and going to bed earlier – this will help with the adjustment.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Remember to check in with your child – ask them how they feel about the new year. Are they excited or scared of anything specific, and why? What do they want to achieve? Make a habit of checking in at the beginning and end of a school term.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Get organised – have a dedicated space for homework where your child can keep their school supplies and backpacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
