During back-to-school season, the air crackles with excitement. New belongings are purchased, labelled, and worn with pride. Lunches are freshly packed, backpacks are eagerly zipped, and photos are happily taken. Kids are greeted by teachers and reunited with friends. Everywhere you turn, there\u2019s a sense of optimism and new beginnings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the weeks go on, though, the novelty of returning to school may wear off. \u201cAny time something is new, it brings about a natural enthusiasm, yet as time passes and work load or expectations increase, the norm quickly becomes less stimulating,\u201d says Josie Murphy*, an elementary teacher with the Waterloo Region District School Board.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve noticed your kids dragging their feet in the morning or complaining about going to school, there is still time to intervene. While you can\u2019t fully match the exuberant energy (or shopaholic mentality) of back-to-school, here are some ideas to help your child continue to view school in a positive way.<\/p>\n

Talk about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chatting with your child about his or her school day is an obvious first step. \u201cCelebrate the things that went well, or discuss a topic that was covered in class,\u201d Josie suggests. Many teachers have online blogs or classroom-specific social media accounts that provide updates and conversation starters.<\/p>\n

Get involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJoining a school club or team fosters a sense of pride in the school, enables students to meet others with similar interests and gives them something to look forward to,\u201d Josie says. The notion of getting involved also applies to parents, so if you can, volunteer to help out at the next field trip or pizza day.<\/p>\n

Dial back the screen time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Josie endorses the use of computers and iPads for math, literacy skills and coding, but warns against a pattern of excessive exposure to non-educational screen-based games. \u201cBased on my observations, it seems that students who play a lot of video games are harder to engage unless a task offers instant gratification or appeals directly to them,\u201d she says. \u201cIn contrast, students who spend time outdoors, play sports or do extra-curricular activities tend to show greater stamina for tasks, have more positive relationships with others and are generally more engaged in learning activities.\u201d If your child seems to be in a rut, maybe a break from his or her device is in order.<\/p>\n

Bump up bedtime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A cranky, under-motivated kid is likely a tired one. Ironically, screen time and extra-curricular activities can both be culprits here. Whether a child is staying up later to watch YouTube videos or getting home after dark due to a team practice, the resulting next-day fatigue is the same. Adopt the \u201cit\u2019s a school night\u201d approach whenever possible and see if an earlier bedtime helps them bounce back.<\/p>\n

Re-commit to reading.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your child\u2019s class has a Home Reading program, go all-in. The reading practice is beneficial, and the time spent cuddling and chatting together is a major bonus. It can be energizing to discover a great author or an entertaining book series. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, ask the school\u2019s teacher-librarian or visit your local library for age-appropriate recommendations. If you\u2019re new to the graphic novel scene, be sure to check out Jen Millard\u2019s top picks.<\/a><\/p>\n

Visit during non-school hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure, school is a place to learn, but a lot of fun things happen there too. If your school hosts an open house, movie night or other special event, make an effort to attend as a family. Linger at the playground after school or walk back in the evening to give your kids the chance to fully explore the outdoor play spaces.<\/p>\n

Book a play date.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cInteracting with peers outside of school develops meaningful friendships,\u201d Josie says. The notion of getting to school to see a favourite friend can provide much-needed motivation on a sluggish morning. In the schoolyard, keep your eyes peeled for the parent of the student your child frequently mentions as a desk partner or recess pal. Introduce yourself and propose getting the kids together sometime.<\/p>\n

Spice up their lunch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t have to mean adding a sugary treat (Halloween is coming soon enough). Maybe the cool lunch bag or water bottle your child admired during back-to-school shopping is now affordably priced on clearance. Or, splurge on some summery fruit like watermelon or berries to add a splash of nutritious colour. Try making a new muffin recipe<\/a> together, to provide variety. If all else fails, write them a classic \u201cLove, Mom\u201d lunch note (with a smiley-face).<\/p>\n

Consult the teacher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some minor moaning and groaning about school is one thing, but if you notice significant changes in your child\u2019s behaviour or attitude, set up a meeting with the teacher. \u201cIf a student is feeling anxious or reluctant about coming to school, I want to know about it,\u201d Josie says. The teacher may have further insights or suggestions about how to build some positive momentum. If your child is struggling with homework, consult some free online resources<\/a> for added support.<\/p>\n

Make them smile.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, the smallest thing can turn a child\u2019s mood around. One morning, my youngest was particularly grumpy about going to school, but we didn\u2019t have time for a sit-down talk because I was in the middle of packing his lunch. Out of desperation, I grabbed a Sharpie marker and started drawing a funny face on the outer peel of his banana. He started giggling, and soon his older brother wanted some banana artwork, too. It changed the entire tone of our morning.<\/p>\n

Feel free to ride out the back-to-school honeymoon period for as long as it lasts, knowing that reality will set in eventually. And, just like after a real honeymoon, a little creativity can go a long way to keep things going strong!<\/p>\n
