1
Be prepared
做好准备
Being prepared for the first day of school will contribute to a positive start to the new school year. Use a planner and make sure you and your children’s schedules are aligned. Be sure to check your emails for regular important updates at the start of the school year.

Talk about going back to school
谈谈回到校园的感受
Communication is a must-have, especially with the hustle and bustle of a new school year. Sometimes going back to school, transferring to a new school, or entering a new grade can be a nervous experience for children. Ask your children how they are feeling about the new year, what they’re looking forward to, and what they are not so much looking forward to.
交流是必不可少的，尤其是在新学年的喧嚣扰攘中。有时回到学校，转到一个新的学校，或进入一个新的年级对孩子来说是一种紧张的经历。问问你的孩子他们对新年有什么感觉，他们期待什么，他们不太期待什么。

Get back in a routine
回到正常的作息
Think of a routine that works best for everyone in your household, and ease into it. Work with your child to re-establish routines and make sure everyone knows what to expect. Dedicate homework time, mealtime, and morning routines that work best for everyone involved.
想一个最适合你的家庭成员的日程，然后慢慢地开始做。与你的孩子一起重建日常生活，确保每个人都知道将要发生什么。在家庭作业时间、用餐时间和早上的日常安排上，做到对每个人都有好处。

Reconnect with friends
重新联系你的学校朋友们
Schools are social places and friendships are important. For some children, the transition from family life in holiday mode to being back in a busy and bustling school can be difficult. You can support your child by setting up playdates so that they can reconnect with friends and classmates before school starts. For new families, we would recommend setting up play dates in the first month of school to help strengthen friendships that develop in class.
学校是社交场所，友谊很重要。 对于一些孩子来说,从家庭生活在假日模式过渡到一个繁忙的学校生活是很困难的。你可以通过安排玩伴来支持你的孩子，这样他们就可以在开学前与朋友和同学重新联系。 新的家庭,我们建议设置在学校的第一个月让孩子们一起玩耍，这样在课堂上会帮助加强友谊的发展。

Sleep early!
早点睡觉!
Gone are the summer days of rolling around in bed and waking up way past the sunrise. By setting earlier bedtimes, it will be easier for everyone to wake up early enough to eat a healthy breakfast and get reading for the school bus to arrive. Remember that getting 7-9 hours is the target amount of sleep your child should get to be the most productive at school.
那些在床上打滚，日出过后才醒来的夏日已经一去不复返了。通过设置早一点的就寝时间，每个人都会更容易早点起床，吃一顿健康的早餐，在校车到来之前阅读。记住，7-9个小时的睡眠是你的孩子在学校学习效率最大化的目标时间。
By following these tips, you will help inspire a love of learning as you transition back into the new school year and ensure a stress-free start for you and your child.
按照这些建议，当你回到新学年的时候，将会激发你对学习的热爱，并确保你和你的孩子有一个无压力的开始。
