Back to School Wellness
Back to school time can be overwhelming for the entire family, children and parents alike. Although this time is the same every year; many of us don't find it easy to adjust. With all of the excitement and anticipation of new friends, clothes, teachers and perhaps even a new school, comes all of the new demands and expectations. Therefore, lets look at ways to achieve a more balance life during this back to school season that will benefit your entire family.
We have often heard the expression "Do as I say, not as I do", however, we all know that children do as they see their parents do. As parents, it is most important to model a life of wellness mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Children will glean the most when they observe their parents eating healthy, incorporating exercise, preparing homecooked meals and be engaging positively in their academic and social affairs.
Here are some ways to simplify your back to school time and create a spirit of excitement and rewards rather than stress and anxiety.
- Reward your children for their academic accomplishments which will encourage them to continue do well. Suddenly, school will become a place where they can thrive rather than a place they loathe.
- Pack well balanced lunches that include healthy snacks and fresh fruit. This will not only save money, but improve your child's health and teach them great monetary values.
- Empower your children by giving them ways to contribute to the family unit through age appropriate chores (i.e. packing their lunch, preparing their clothes and even bathing the night before along with making their beds in the morning).
- Spend quality time with your children to learn how their day went; such as, taking after dinner walks with your child or having family dinner discussions to share what was learned, current affairs or the highlights of the day with one another.
- Allow your children's friends to come over to visit while you are home so you can determine if your child is amongst positive company. Parents can host a movie night or pizza night and even allow the children to prepare the pizza themselves; making the meal healthy and their own culinary project. Additionally, these get-togethers allow parents to meet each other and learn more about their values.
- Be an engaged parent! This has huge rewards for everyone. By attending PTA meetings, parent teacher conferences, carpooling and chaperoning on field trips, you will not only have opportunity to enjoy more of your children's academic life, but also get to know teachers and parents alike. This is a great way to promote the sense of community that we have gotten away from while subconsciously holding your children accountable to be their best because of the relationships formed with the administration and elders at their school.
These simplifying steps can allow you and your children to spend more quality time together and focus on the postive fruits of the school year!

BACK TO SCHOOL WELLNESS
(Additional Article)
For many children, transitioning into a new school or grade can be challenging and stressful. The National Mental Health Association is helping kids and their families get off to a healthy start by providing tools and tips for good mental health. With approximately 40 million youth heading to pre-school/kindergarten, elementary and middle school this fall, NMHA's annual Back to School Campaign reaches out to these students' parents to increase awareness of the integral role mental wellness plays in the school life and overall healthy development of children.
Research shows the start of a new school year comes with mixed emotions, with more than one-third of eight to 18 year olds saying they feel nervous and anxious. Parents who take an active role in their child's education can ensure a healthy transition and prevent potential mental health problems from developing.
