You could say that today, January 8, is really the first day of the year. The children return to school, parents to work and resume the routines we left days ago to enjoy the Christmas mini-vacations.
It is a very special time of the year for children, they enjoy family gatherings these days, decorating the house, setting up the Bethlehem, making Christmas plans and, of course, with the gifts of the Magi.
Going back to work can be very hard, so we will give you some tips so that the return to school and the routine after the Christmas holidays is more bearable.
Gradually modify sleep schedules: If you have not maintained the usual schedules (most likely at this time it is not) the early morning today will have cost a lot. At home they left with the file attached. Tonight they will be so tired that they will go to bed soon, make sure that this is the case and also during the weekend so that on Monday waking up on time does not cost so much.
Rearrange meals: In addition to sleep, food is also modified during the Christmas holidays. Christmas foods and sweets have been left behind and it's time to return to the healthier menus. Add more fruits, vegetables and dairy to your diet to provide energy.
Encourage him with the illusion of seeing his classmates and teachers again: Children establish very close relationships and knowing that they will meet their friends again can be a good incentive.
Help him to readjust: Just as adults do when they return to work, children also have a hard time getting back to the routine. They miss spending time with their parents, they cost early rises and return to daily activities. You have to understand them and be flexible until they come back in tune.
Understand your changes: It is possible that these days the child is irritable, tired, annoying, sad or lacking in appetite. Empathize with him and try to help him instead of confronting.
Leave time for recreation: so that the return to the routine is not so abrupt, especially in the case of the elderly who already bring homework, allow them some rest time to play with their new toys or go outside for a while. Make the return to obligations gradual without overwhelming them.
How has it been Back to school and routine at home after the Christmas holidays? Has the early riser cost you a lot? Good start of the year for everyone!
