It's that time! Back to school is right around the corner!

This time of the year can be exciting but also overwhelming. Here are some easy tips to help your kiddo transition from the summer to the school routine.

🍎Visual schedule: Introduce a schedule of what the weekdays will look like during the school year. This will help your child know what to expect once school starts back up again.
🍎 Bedtime/morning routine: Have your child start going to bed earlier and waking up earlier so they are able to reset their body to a new routine. This will help avoid any struggles waking up early during the first week of school.
🍎 Meet the teacher: If possible, schedule a meet and greet with the teacher before school starts. This introduction will help your child get familiar with a new face and decrease any anxiety over being in a new classroom.
🍎Pick out new items: Giving your child some control by picking out a new favorite outfit/backpack/lunchbox, will help your child get excited about the new school year.
🍎 Play date: Try to organize a playdate with some of the new kids in your child's class, so there are some familiar friendly faces on the first day!

Here's to a smooth start to the new school year!

Does your child have trouble staying in his/her seat when doing homework? Taking a quick movement break will help your child stay focused and attentive.

Encourage your child to do one of the above movement breaks periodically throughout a seated task.

What's your child's favorite way to get some movement in?

Do you have a picky eater?

If you do, then try to encourage play with non-preferred food. Playing with food shouldn't be a bad thing. In fact, it should be encouraged! Kids who are picky eaters often struggle with tolerating different textures of food. By playing with food, it gives their hands a chance to feel the texture before actually putting it in their mouth. Playing with non-preferred food also give kids another exposure to this food. It often takes at least 10 exposures of a new food before a tactile sensitive child is able to try a bite.

If your child is a picky eater, set aside a time each day where they are able to explore non-preferred food using play-based strategies!

Executive functioning is often thought of as the "management system of the brain". Difficulties in executive functioning can make it hard for kids to:

🧠 Start and/or complete tasks
🧠 Follow multi-step directions
🧠 Prioritize tasks
🧠 Manage their time
🧠 Keep track of their belongings
🧠 Regulate emotions

If your child is struggling with any of the above, they may benefit from occupational therapy services!
