School's Back In on Daniel Island

Moms and Dads may be experiencing a bit of relief today now that the kids are back in school. I know, as a parent, you love spending every moment with the kids over the summer but it also can be hard to entertain them all the time. Thank goodness on Daniel Island, there's a plethora of parks, pools, walking trails and more. 

Now as a grandma, I love spending time with the grandkids but I can always remember  the stress of getting the kids back into the groove of school. 


Here are some tips as you kick off the new school year: 

Make sure they get a good night’s sleep 

Set a regular bed time for each night and stick to it  

Avoid giving kids anything with caffeine less than six hours before bedtime

Eat a healthy breakfast 

Make sure your child is up to date on vaccinations, physicals and eye exams 

Meet & assess the new teacher, let them know about any concerns you may have 

Set a routine so kids know when it's homework time, dinner time, etc.

 Go over your child’s transportation plan and discuss things your child can do to stay safe on the way to and from school

Finally, enjoy it! Before you know it, they'll be heading off to college.
