Surviving the First Week Back at School.

Surviving the First Week Back at School.

The first week of school has passed, complete with its noise, excitement, activity, and chaos. Every parent has lived through it in their own way, but one thing we all can agree on: no one got more than six hours of peaceful sleep…

Today’s post will talk about:

  • Adapting to the new routines of the first school week.
  • New habits and endless cups of coffee.
  • The kindness witnessed on the first school day.

The Exhaustion is Real

Feeling worn out during this period is completely normal, especially after a long summer break with a totally different routine. Our need for five cups of coffee to tackle the day’s challenges is justified.

James Clear discusses this in his book "Atomic Habits," our pick for the week, which talks about how it takes at least three weeks for new routines to settle in.

This book could completely change your perspective on building new habits and better organizing your daily schedule for both you and your children.
