ARE YOU PREPARED FOR BACK TO SCHOOL SEASON IN NYC?

Written by on 7.09.17

New York City is a wonderful place to live, whether you are raising a family or concentrating on your career. If you are looking to move to New York City or relocate apartments, Caryle Property Management has the perfect place near the best schools in New York City. After a summer of interesting activities, beach trips and summer camp, there are a few things you can do to prep them for the return to school.

Get Back into the Reading Habit

Help your kids get back into the reading habit by purchasing books for them that inspire them to become avid readers. Get kindergarteners and elementary students motivated to return to school by purchasing “The Berenstain Bears Go Back to School” by Jan and Stan Berenstain. If you have school kids between the ages of seven and 12 who enjoy science fiction, the book “Star Wars: Jedi Academy” by Jeffrey Brown is sure to spark their imaginations. Middle school aged children who are ambivalent about beginning another school year will become excited as they read “Reluctantly Alice” by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.

Changing the Bedtime Routine

You can’t expect your children to automatically switch back to the school year sleeping schedule overnight. That is why it is important to start changing their bedtime routine a week or two before school begins. Also start turning off the TV or any other electronics about an hour before expecting them to go to bed. These kinds of activities keep them wired. Read a book to the younger children and encourage older kids to read on their own. Sing soothing songs to your children or help them find calm activities to do before going to sleep at night. These tips will help them wind down so that they start getting sleepy earlier in the evenings.

Shopping for Back-to-School Supplies

Take your children shopping for back-to-school supplies early to find the best selections. Another wise idea is to buy extra supplies and backpacks to contribute to drives and fundraisers. This is an excellent way to teach your kids to help others and will instill a philanthropic spirit in them. This will serve them well all through their lives.

If you are thinking about moving to New York City, Carlyle Property Management has a great selection of luxury apartments available here. Getting back into a back to school routine is easier if you are prepared for the school year ahead, everyone can relax as they enjoy this new routine of absorbing exciting new information at school.
