We wish you the best for 2017 and hope you are well-rested from the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you and your family are about to trade PJs for work and school clothes, and get back into the weekday hustle, we wanted to share some of our favourite, yet simple tips to help ease you back into routine. While it\u2019s never fun for vacation to be over, at the very least it\u2019s helpful to be prepared. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you start your week:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 450px;\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/4-tips-for-successful-new-year-pinterest.jpeg\" alt=\"self learning - 4 tips for a successful new year\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\">Tip 1: Get Organized<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-year-success-get-organized.jpeg\" alt=\"new year success tip - get organized\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Avoid morning chaos by getting organized the night before. Stage a household clean up and have some fun out of it \u2013 play music and dance! Put away any unnecessary holiday clutter and help your child pack their school bag. It also helps to\u00a0have outfits planned in advance and meals packed in the fridge. Whenever you can, have your child help out \u2013 it\u2019s important to have them involved in the weekday prep!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\">Tip 2: Make Reading Routine<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ve already started a great book over the holidays, or received a good stack from Santa! Establish a reading routine with your child and let them select a few of their favourites. You\u2019ve likely enjoyed some quality down time over the break \u2013 keep this up by setting aside reading time for the whole family!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\">Tip 3: Make Math Fun<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-year-success-make-math-fun.jpeg\" alt=\"new year success tip - make math fun\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chances are, your child isn\u2019t too excited about returning to math class. Incorporate some math into everyday activities like cooking, baking or meal prep. By assigning your child some easy helper tasks, you can also ask them to work out simple measurements and quantities. And while you\u2019re waiting for fresh baked cookies, talk to them about time \u2013 how many minutes have they been baking if you set a timer at 20 and have 5 left to go?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\">Tip 4: Reinforce the Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, for some children, going back to school may cause anxiety. Talk to them throughout the school week about their concerns and what they are looking forward to at school. Help them to set personal goals by establishing what they enjoy and want to do more of. And remind them that it\u2019s important to have fun while learning!<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong>With these tips in mind, we wish you a smooth transition back from the break.
