Managing Stress During the Back-to-School Season
Tips for parents, students, and educators on how to manage the stress and anxiety that often accompany the transition back to school. This can include mindfulness techniques, organizational strategies, and advice on setting healthy boundaries.
ROUTINE, ROUTINE, ROUTINE
I can't STRESS ENOUGH the importance of having the same routine each week when heading back to school. Taking the first two weeks to prepare yourself (and the kids) to have certain standards and expectations within the household.
MENTAL HEALTH DAY
With the world we live in today, it's important to know the signs of "burnout", whether you are a student, parent, or educator. Burnout is real! It is much more efficient to take one day off versus making multiple mistakes due to a decline in mental health.
PRIORITIES
Tasks and responsibilities are constantly changing as the school year evolves. Different seasons dictate everyones mood, responsibilities, and energy levels. It is essential to have flexibility and mindful of what is important at the moment (needs) versus what we want.
