    Five ways you can improve your child’s time at school
  • Make sure your child is getting adequate amounts of sleep by checking out the National Sleep Foundation website to see how many hours they should be getting according to their age. A regular sleep cycle will not only help your child stay awake during school hours but also with their emotional wellbeing. One way of achieving this is to set up a routine that helps your little ones transition from day to night. Most importantly, make sure that any interactions with digital devices are saved for the day and that they 'switch off' at least an hour before bed.

  • Create an environment that's conducive to studying and active learning, helping them improve their overall performance at school. The place should be well lit, decluttered, and comfortable. Try making it a family activity as well, setting a specific time for your children to study while you read or work next to them. This way your child will be more motivated to complete their homework as they realise there is someone else to share the workload even if it is unrelated to theirs.

  • Ensure that your child is able to stay energised throughout the day by providing a balanced breakfast of complex carbohydrates and a packed lunch that limits your child's intake of artificial flavours and preservatives. Sometimes your child may have behavioural reactions and intolerance to certain food groups. Symptoms that suggest this may include headaches, irritability, fatigue, hyperactivity and inability to remain focused. If this is the case, try consulting a nutritionist to set an elimination diet to remove any allergens and to keep track of which foods impact your child's behaviour in what way.
