Though the school year may have just ended and it’s the middle of summer vacation for most NYC children, the new school year is just around the corner and before you know it, you’ll be sending your children off to school again.
These are a few quick tips to make sure the new school year does not cause stress and become overwhelming for you:
With back-to-school hustle and bustle looming around the corner, take advantage now, have your child exercise, have fun, take part in activities whenever possible and catch some sun as well as establish healthy eating habits. These will all help your child’s overall health and prepare him/her
for the school year.
Schedule an appointment with your pediatrician to discuss what you can do now to improve your child’s health and to make sure the transition to a new school year runs smoothly.
