For parents, trying to restore order to your child\u2019s&nbsp;lives&nbsp;may be a struggle, so,&nbsp;we made a list of recommendations&nbsp;for you to help make returning to school easier. Let\u2019s&nbsp;take a look!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.  KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR CHILD\u2019S HEALTH <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twinscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/sa\u011fl\u0131k-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8812\" width=\"487\" height=\"324\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Oftentimes the holidays are filled with&nbsp;so much&nbsp;excitement and time around friends and family&nbsp;that&nbsp;your kids might&nbsp;not be paying attention to how&nbsp;well&nbsp;they are feeling&nbsp;physically.&nbsp;Keeping an eye on their health&nbsp;and ensuring they get a check-up before school starts can save you and your kids&nbsp;the trouble of&nbsp;taking&nbsp;any&nbsp;unnecessary&nbsp;sick days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. REGULATE MEALTIME AND SLEEP SCHEDULES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twinscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/yemek-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8813\" width=\"386\" height=\"386\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; <br>Ensuring your kids have enough sleep and are ready to&nbsp;refuel their brain and tummies with nutritional food&nbsp;on&nbsp;a regular basis will be key to their&nbsp;transition back to school. We recommend that you maintain your child\u2019s sleep and mealtime hours as close to their school time schedules as possible.&nbsp;For extended holidays&nbsp;where that might be harder to do, like summer and winter breaks,&nbsp;plan&nbsp;ten to fifteen days in advance&nbsp;to&nbsp;transition back to a regulated schedule.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/5i0RdWktDx0xW\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3.  LIMIT SCREEN TIME TO AFTER SCHOOL HOURS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019ll be necessary to set some rules and limits for games,&nbsp;computers, telephones,&nbsp;and&nbsp;television hours.&nbsp;We recommend splitting their play time&nbsp;between&nbsp;constructive&nbsp;educational&nbsp;activities&nbsp;and socializing events&nbsp;to better reflect how they\u2019ll&nbsp;spend&nbsp;their time back at school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. &nbsp; INTRODUCE THE TOPIC OF&nbsp;GOING&nbsp;BACK TO SCHOOL EARLY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children don\u2019t operate on schedules and deadlines like grownups do. To them the&nbsp;back-to-school&nbsp;date will seem far off and arbitrary.&nbsp;So,&nbsp;when it is time to go back to&nbsp;school,&nbsp;they might&nbsp;feel like they\u2019ve been abruptly awakened from a good dream and will most likely be grouchy as a result. To save yourself&nbsp;from&nbsp;any&nbsp;temper tantrums, be sure to&nbsp;talk about school regularly and&nbsp;remind them of the good times they had and can have at school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. FOLLOW OFFICIAL PROCEDURES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3ohjUSqjO5T3vgnIvC\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to examine&nbsp;any&nbsp;official forms&nbsp;sent&nbsp;home&nbsp;from the school&nbsp;and&nbsp;deliver requested documents on time.&nbsp;Documents may&nbsp;contain important information such as&nbsp;required immunizations, the presence of holiday homework, and&nbsp;materials needed for&nbsp;before heading&nbsp;back to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. &nbsp; ENSURE YOUR KIDS HAVE THE SUPPLIES THEY NEED<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twinscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/soran-k\u0131z-1400x788.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8814\" width=\"519\" height=\"292\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you don\u2019t leave your back-to-school shopping to the last day.&nbsp;Ensuring your&nbsp;kids have the right books as well as notebooks, pens and pencils&nbsp;can keep them from falling behind in the important first days back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. MAKE A WORKSPACE FOR&nbsp;YOUR KIDS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twinscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/\u00e7al\u0131\u015fan-\u00e7ovuk-1199x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8815\" width=\"405\" height=\"269\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> <br>An easy way to facilitate a good work routine is creating&nbsp;a&nbsp;good workspace.&nbsp;If you haven\u2019t already, create a&nbsp;study corner&nbsp;for&nbsp;your child in their room or in a suitable&nbsp;place&nbsp;in the house&nbsp;and&nbsp;keep all school related material&nbsp;there.&nbsp;That way when&nbsp;your child is ready to get down to&nbsp;business,&nbsp;they\u2019ll&nbsp;have a quiet place to focus and&nbsp;have everything organized and ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. MAKE SURE CHILDREN ARE READING AND WRITING A LITTLE EVERY DAY&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twinscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/630430-PO7HRY-183-min-1-1234x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8816\" width=\"398\" height=\"258\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The brain needs some exercise to stay sharp.&nbsp;Reading and writing help get children\u2019s minds working&nbsp;and can be an activity shared by the whole family during the holidays and extended breaks. Getting back into the habit of reading and writing a bit each day will help maintain&nbsp;key school skills and get your kids ready to hit the ground running on their first days back to school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3ov9k01Y5IKizNmC7S\" width=\"480\" height=\"380\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cemile G\u00f6\u00e7men | Hadiye Kuradac\u0131 School of Science and Art | Math Teacher Going back to school after the holidays&nbsp;or extended breaks&nbsp;can be&nbsp;quite an adjustment.&nbsp;With an unregulated schedule and&nbsp;more&nbsp;time&nbsp;focused&nbsp;on play or TV&nbsp;than&nbsp;learning, kids might&nbsp;feel unready&nbsp;and unwilling&nbsp;to re-enter school&nbsp;after the holidays.
