Back To School: Few Steps To Follow

Dear Readers, did you get ready for school yet? Let me help you with these few steps.

Medical Check-up: Take your children to the pediatrician for a “before school"medical exam. Let them get the flu shot if necessary.

Organize School Transportation: Always remember that you cannot do it all by yourself, you might need help to drive your kids to school. That is why you need to check out your school year schedule, and based on that either subscribe your kids on the school bus or take the number of neighbors and friends that can help when needed.

Make a school calendar:  to organize all the events and activities your children will have during the year.

Stock up on school supplies: other than buying all the supplies the school requests, buy some extra items that your child might lose or misplace. You can get extra glue, scissors, pencils, etc.

Go over the school’s rules with your child: Get a copy of the school’s guideline and review them with your child. Make sure he understands all the rules he should be following during the year.

Take your child on a tour for the school: Visit the school before classes start and let your child take a look at his classroom and meet with his teachers, if possible.

6 Tips To Help Your Child Sleep Better

Read those easy tips to help your child sleep better at night

1- Cut watching T.V. at least 2 hours before going to bed to reduce any tension some cartoons or movies may cause him and this might drive him into having lots of nightmare especially if he is a kid with wide imagination.

2- Encourage your child to practice some relaxing activities 2 hours before sleeping- it could be coloring, drawing, crafting, a puzzle or a board game. No video games or computer games before going to bed.

3- Prepare dinner, if possible, 2 hours before going to bed. Your child will have enough time to digest and always try to prepare something light and healthy. You could make a use of some of our healthy recipes. Sleeping on a full stomach is not the right option for a good night sleep.

4- Bed time story is one of the best relaxing methods for a child to sleep well. Start this habit from an early age, I started since my babies were 2 months old. Reading has many benefits as in increasing the child's IQ, creativity and reading abilities and more importantly it will help him relax before going to bed. Try to pick a pleasant story that is far from action stories like Spiderman and Superman since some of the characters could stress your child at night and drive him into having some nightmares.

5- Classical Music is known to be very relaxing. Mozart could be an excellent choice and please always play the real symphony not those commercialized  "Baby Mozart "CDs. What will help your child relax and have better musical knowledge is listening to a real orchestra and real instruments. 

6- Try to wear him out during the day by encouraging him to play outside so he could empty that entire child's energy. Basketball, Football or any kind of sports could do the trick!
