Make sure you child gets plenty of rest- It is a great idea to establish a school routine one
week before school starts (going to bed early and waking up early).
Serve nutritious and unhurried meals. Encourage your child to be polite and to state feelings
instead of acting them out. Provide numerous opportunities for experiences with
books.
