Getting back into
good routines
After all the lighter nights and
relaxed summer holidays, it can
take a bit of adjustment to get back
into the routine of school life. But
routines are important both for
children and for families. They help
children feel secure because they
understand what is expected of
them. They help reduce behaviour
problems and ensure children are
ready for learning. In short, they
mean less stress for everyone!
Here are some tips for establishing
good routines:
• Support children to take
responsibility for getting
themselves organised for school
the night before; getting uniform,
homework, P.E. kit and school bag
ready.
• Allow more time than you think
you need in the morning - an extra
20 minutes can make the world of
difference for setting a calm tone
for the day.
• Don’t take over when your child’s
getting dressed ‘to save time’.
If you always do buttons etc for
them, they will struggle to do
these things independently and
may feel upset when it’s expected
of them at school
• Breakfast is known as ‘the most
important meal of the day’ for a
reason! If children really don’t feel
hungry first thing, take a cereal
bar or some fruit to eat on the
way to school. Breakfast gives
children the energy they need to
concentrate.
• Avoid bombarding your child with
lots of questions when they get
back from school, as they’re likely
be in need of some down time.
Make time to listen when they’re
ready – dinner times are a great
opportunity to talk through the
highs and lows of the day.
• Primary school children should
be getting 10 – 11 hours’ sleep a
night, so need to be getting ready
for bed at a reasonable time.
Remember, too much screen time
late in the day leads to poor sleep
patterns.
If you need further support with
establishing good routines, contact
your public health nursing team.
