Children also suffer from post-vacation syndrome and this makes returning to normal after three months of vacation not easy at all. They will feel discouraged, apathetic and sad ... just like adults when they have to return to work after a well-deserved vacation. Returning to reality is not easy for anyone and therefore requires an adaptation process ... also for children.
The return to normality, when they have already started school can be difficult for children. Children who have not had any kind of routine during the holidays can be even more difficult. If you find that your child is more irritated than usual or sadder than usual once he returns to school, you will have to help him overcome it.
To make going back to school easier for everyone, you need to help him and accompany him to adapt to his routine. To do this, do not miss these tips:
- Make them participate in buying school supplies, covering books or putting the names of their belongings
- Encourage them to play sports in the afternoons
- At the end of the day give them a warm bath to facilitate sleep
- It begins with routines at home, with marked schedules
- Establish a specific schedule for the use of new technologies
- Establish a more suitable time to go to bed, taking into account when you must get up in the morning
- Plan the week in advance, organizing schedules and responsibilities
- Organize meals and improve your diet plan
- Spend time with family
Keep a positive attitude As for going back to school… your energy is essential so that your children feel that going back to routines is not as bad as it seems. Your attitude towards normality is key so that your children feel good about it too.
