Back to Routines:

Back to school means more than new notebooks and sharpened pencils.

Routines build a sense of safety and instill confidence. How each of us starts

our day paves a path for success.


Think about taking a few steps to prep for school the night before, it's

important to involve your child as much as possible in getting ready for

school. Start the morning with a small, light conversation.


Whatever works best for your back to school routine, do your best to keep

it consistent and attainable.

The AAP recommends the following (healthychildren.org):

  • Children 6 to 12 years of age should sleep 9 to 12 hours per 24 hours on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

  • Children 6 years and older need 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most days of the week (free play and organized sports focused on fun).

  • The AAP recommends that families create a Media Plan in order to address the multifaceted impacts that all kinds of media and screen time have on children. Attached to this report is a Tip Sheet for parents on screen time. Additionally, create your family media plan here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/media/Pages/default.aspx
