Back To School Tips

• Balance deen with life and studies - It's important to prioritize and make time for spiritual devotion along with taking care of your mind, body, and soul, and other responsibilities.
• Have a back to school routine - Create a schedule and designate time for homework, prayers, Quran, extracurricular activities, and playtime.
• Develop a good sleep schedule - retrain your body to sleep and wake up at the same time every day a couple weeks before school begins.
• Have fun - It is essential to allow kids to have time for play during the school week.
• Review material - Refresh subjects and skills learned in the previous year to help prepare for material for the upcoming year.
• Limit screen time - Set rules for limiting screen time and unplugging or turning off devices at a certain time every day.
• Talk about feelings - Asking your child how they feel about going back to school (or a new school), making new friends, talking to the teacher, engaging in new activities, and asking about concerns they have is a great social-emotional learning exercise.
• Set intentions - Talk to your child about expectations and progress for the school year. i.e. "How many books do you hope to read this year?" or "What will you do to practice kindness at school?"
• Establish a good relationship - Reassure your child that you are there for them no matter what happens and that they can discuss anything with you that happens at school such as bullying, anxiety, or struggles they are facing etc.
