How do you get your kids back into school routine??

[Ostryga]

Dd started in September and I’ve loved having the time off with her - no early mornings, chilling out. Bedtime negotiable depending on what we’re doing.

Just though lt, my god, she’s back at school next week and I have no idea how to go about easing her back into the idea!

Normal bedtime penultimate holiday night, bit early night before the term starts. Get all her stuff out and ready the afternoon before. Try and get her excited for seeing her friends again.

Otherwise crack on with enjoying every moment of the holidays!

Ds is now 17 and swims (yes even during the holidays!) 6 days a week so even though sessions are later we are still up at 6am 😆

When he was younger I think the weekend before I just started going back to bedtime routine. I recall doing very long walks in the woods to tire him out in a Saturday because we'd had a lie in and I wanted him on bed "school time".
