The “3-2-1” Back-to-School Reset

Transitioning from vacation mode to term routines can be tough. With this quick routine, you can help your child regain focus, cut morning anxiety, and start the 2026/2027 session strong:

  • 3 Dinner Questions: Ask open-ended questions relating to their day at school and things they did. 
  • 2 Minutes of Night-Before Prep: Pack school bags, lay out uniforms, and place shoes by the door together before bed to avoid morning panic.
  • 1 Screen-Free Hour: Turn off TVs, phones, and tablets 60 minutes before sleep to boost memory retention and morning alertness.

Try this simple routine 4 days a week and see how your child feels about being back at school.
