Starting school can be a challenging time for some kids and a breeze for others. Each child is entirely individual but there are some things you can do to help your little one get ready for school that will also help you. We are not saying there won\u2019t be tears at the school gate on drop off day, but at least you will both be as prepared as you can for this next big step in your child\u2019s life\u2026<\/p>\n
Summer holidays mean long balmy nights and playing outside until the sun starts to set. Start to wind this back by reinforcing a scaling bedtime and making an effort to revert to a routine so your little one will feel settled, rested and into the groove ready for school.<\/p>\n
To get your little one used to having a set lunch each day it\u2019s a great idea to start giving their lunch in their school lunchbox at home the week before school starts.<\/p>\n
Getting them involved in shopping for their lunchbox and food to go in it is a good way to encourage them to eat what\u2019s inside. Talk to them about what they would like in their lunch and start with things they are familiar with. Once they have got the hang of it introduce one new thing at a time to try.<\/p>\n
