The dog days of summer are quickly winding down and it is an excellent time to prepare your family for the upcoming school year, even before you tackle that supply list.
Most of us have had to adjust bedtimes for vacation, camps, and summer life in general, but those alarm clocks are about to start buzzing. The mornings can be frantic enough, even more so with a tired child (or children). Re-establishing a strong sleep routine now for the whole family is a great first step for a smoother transition to school. More importantly, studies show that sufficient sleep will help your child focus on the tasks ahead of them.
The start of school is a load of newness, from the general class schedule, to after school activities, sports, homework, etc. Having a tutor is another great step to ensure your child has consistent quality time to study and organize. Regular sessions with their same tutor create a sense of normalcy in the daily chaos. This in turn also helps you keep that solid sleep routine.
The summer gap can also make it more difficult for your child to pick up where they left off a few months ago. Having a tutor now, allows a window for refresher work in specific topics before the new workload begins to trickle in. Your child’s tutor is there to rally in their academic corner, easing anxieties, gently pushing them to use their executive functioning skills, and providing them that extra one-on-one attention to boost their confidence.
Parents and students have faced so many unique challenges, especially these past two school years. None of us know what this year will bring, but whether your child is fully virtual, partially, or in the classroom, beam Tutoring is ready to be part of your family’s support system. Our programs are customized to your needs and to fit your schedule without adding to your stress load. Today is a perfect time to start!
