26 Days Until School, How to Enjoy the Rest of Summer While Preparing Your Child for a Great Start

26 Days Until School, How to Enjoy the Rest of Summer While Preparing Your Child for a Great Start

26
Days Until School

Summer has a way of making time feel endless, until suddenly August arrives and the first day of school is right around the corner.

In just a few short weeks, backpacks will be packed, classrooms will be filled with excitement, and children across Wilmington and surrounding communities will begin another year of learning and growing.

Before the busy schedules return, take time to enjoy these final summer days. Children rarely remember expensive vacations as much as they remember simple moments with the people they love β€” a family picnic, an evening bike ride, making homemade ice cream, visiting a local park, reading together before bed, or simply laughing around the dinner table.

πŸ’¬Preparing Your Child Mentally for School

Buying school supplies is important, but preparing your child’s heart and mind is just as valuable. Instead of asking only about school shopping, start conversations like these:

“What are you most excited about this year?”
“What do you hope to learn?”
“Is there anything you’re nervous about?”
“What new friend would you like to make?”
⏰Start Returning to a Routine

One of the biggest challenges families face after summer is adjusting back to a school schedule. Instead of waiting until the night before school starts:

βœ“Move bedtime earlier by 15 to 20 minutes every few days.
βœ“Begin waking up closer to school hours.
βœ“Reduce screen time before bed.
βœ“Read together every evening.
βœ“Eat breakfast as a family whenever possible.
🌱School Is About More Than Academics

At Abundant Life Christian School and Childcare, we believe education is about the whole child. That journey begins long before the first school bell rings.
