Are You Back To School Ready?

Like it or not summer is reaching its end. A new routine will start to emerge, new friends will come, some friends will leave, and the stress of a changing life will continue.

Going back to school can be one of the best times of the year and most exciting times of life.

Except when it's not. Except when the excess stress, pressure, social pressure and expectation adds far too much 'weight' on our kids and breaks down their bodies physically, emotionally and spiritually.

There is nothing inherently wrong with kids experiencing pressure, stress, and responsibility, it's how they grow. The issue becomes a problem when there is too much stress and your child can no longer adapt.

The purpose of this podcast is to help give you a guide to ensure that your child is the healthiest they can be before they enter the school year, so the stresses and pressure of have as few negative effects as possible.

Here Is What We Covered

• Be a role model. If you want your child to adopt a behaviour please start doing it first. Not only will this keep you in integrity, but it's really the only way to 'make' someone do something.
• Don't wait for the first day of school, start implementing some routines now. There is a behavioural tendency to overdo bad things as you know a particular time is coming to an end (think starting a diet on Monday). Try to avoid that tendency and begin establishing some healthy rules now.
• Make sure the basics - Sleep, water, food, movement, and nerve system are covered and covered well. There is no question that your child will be exposed to a variety of physical, chemical and emotional stressors. Make home a reliable, consistent place, where they know what to expect.
