Re-establishing routines after the summer holidays is essential. Perhaps bedtimes have gotten later over the break, but it’s important that children get nine hours sleep every night if they’re to have the mental and physical energy to perform well at school – they’ll be far happier too!

Put a healthy spin on snack-time and swap out sugary snacks like crisps and cookies for something nutritious. Raw vegetable sticks dipped in hummus, an antioxidant-rich smoothie, or homemade popcorn will keep hunger pangs at bay and energy levels up.

Children should get the majority of their vitamins from their diet, but a daily multivitamin will ensure your child gets the nutrition they need to develop. Consider supplementing with Wellosophy Multivitamin & Mineral Kids that contain Vitamin A, C, and D for the immunity, calcium and magnesium for energy and muscles, Omega 3 for brainpower, and calcium for strong bones and teeth.

Avoid first-day-at-school chaos by getting into the routine of going to bed on time and getting up early before term starts. Establishing consistent bedtime and morning routines will ease the transition back to school and will set your child up for success.

Children should get at least an hour a day of physical exercise – whether that’s active play like a game of catch, dancing, riding a bike, or taking a swimming class. If your children aren’t practicing sport during school hours, it’s important to encourage them to do so after hours. Regular aerobic exercise will build healthy muscles and bones, support mental alertness, promote positive moods, and a greater self-esteem.

It’s normal for a child to get nervous in the run-up to a new school term. Address any first-day jitters by discussing fears with your child and reminding them of the things they enjoy about school – like playing football. Consider shopping for school supplies together or arranging playdates with classmates to ease their transition back.
