Back to school? Back to savings at Jumbo!

 

The December holidays are coming to an end, and we all know what that means – it’s back to school time again! As your family gears up for the new school year, here are some tips to help your child shine in the classroom.

 

Make sure they’re getting enough rest

Kids need a lot of sleep to thrive, especially when they’re still growing. Without enough sleep, your child will struggle to concentrate and absorb information, which makes learning new things difficult. A good sleep routine will set them up for success in class. Choose a regular bedtime which is the same every night and follow a bedtime routine to help them settle down in the evenings. This routine could include things like bathing, reading together, and putting on a calming night light.

 

A good breakfast makes a good day

When it comes to your child’s growth and development, nutrition is key. A good breakfast before school will give your child the energy they need to focus and learn well throughout the day. If possible, avoid sugary cereals, opting for slower-release carbohydrates like low-GI wholewheat toast, fruit, porridge and muesli, or high-protein breakfast foods like eggs.

 

Provide a study space

It’s really important that your child has a comfortable, dedicated workspace where they can tackle their homework in the evenings. If possible, provide a quiet, well-lit spot with a desk or table and chair to work at. Developing consistent daily study habits early on will set them up for success throughout their school careers, so try and encourage regular study during the week, while still ensuring they have enough downtime to play and relax.

 

Get the right uniform

 

Until your child matriculates, they’ll spend most of their life in their school uniform. Not only does their uniform need to be well-fitting and comfortable, but it also needs to be tough enough to survive a year of running, jumping, playing and climbing at break time.
