Back to School Season

The back to school season means different things for different kids. For some, it is going to be the first day of kindergarten. Is your preschooler ready for kindergarten? If you are sitting on the fence about whether or not to start your child in kindergarten or wait another year, review some of these signs of kindergarten readiness.

For many other children, the back to school season really means getting ready to go back to school. In addition to stocking up on school supplies, this is a good time to make sure your child's immunizations are up-to-date, that you have addressed any school performance problems, including adjusting your child's ADHD medicine if necessary, and your are prepared to handle your child's medical problems at school, especially if he has food allergies, diabetes, seizures, or asthma, etc.

This is also a good time to get your child back on a good sleep routine. If your child is used to staying up late and sleeping in, it is best to get back on your school sleep routine a good few weeks before school starts. That can help ensure that your child is well rested when school starts.
