🎒 Don’t Let the First Day Be the First Practice Day!
One week before school begins, try a “practice school week” at home:
✅ Move bedtime and wake-up time back to the school schedule
✅ Practice getting dressed and ready on time
✅ Restart the morning medication routine as prescribed
✅ Limit screens before bedtime
✅ Prepare a homework area with fewer distractions
✅ Talk about worries before they become first-day anxiety
Children with ADHD and anxiety often do better when changes happen gradually. A little preparation now can make the first week of school feel much more manageable.
If your child’s medication, focus, anxiety, sleep, or mood needs attention before school begins, call Psychiatry Associates of Tupelo to schedule an appointment. 📚💙
