One minute, you\u2019re relaxing by the pool or returning from a relaxing vacation. The next, you\u2019re stocking up on the upcoming year\u2019s school supplies and registering your child for classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, before you know it, the first school day begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new school year means back to basics and a renewed mindset toward focus and functionality. Life becomes a lot more structured come late August or early September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shifting gears might feel challenging, but transitioning from summer bliss to fall\u2019s formality shouldn\u2019t feel very difficult.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These five strategies can help as your child \u2014 and you! \u2014 make that pivotal transition from relaxed, carefree summer days to the structure of fall and a new school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the Right Backpack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your child prefers a fashion-forward or fitness-forward backpack, weight matters.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/parents\/backpack.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Many professionals recommend children carry no more than 10 \u2013 15 percent of their body weight in their backpacks<\/a>, but many carry a bag above that weight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How<\/em>&nbsp;your child wears a backpack matters too. Wearing one incorrectly \u2014 on only one shoulder, or straps too tight or loose \u2014 or lugging a poorly designed backpack can lead to spinal compression, and create shoulder, neck, and back pain.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/parents\/backpack.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Poorly designed backpacks or backpacks carried incorrectly can also create bad posture and potential injury<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You and your child can feel better with the right backpack using these four tips.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Buy the right one.&nbsp;A good backpack helps properly carry gear while preventing injury. Invest in quality and spend the time to find the right one. A waist strap can add extra support. Alternately, consider a rolling backpack. Read reviews online to ensure you\u2019re buying a well-designed, built-to-last bag.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Ensure the right fit.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Make sure the backpack has equally distributed weight. Encourage children to use&nbsp;<em>both&nbsp;<\/em>straps, properly positioned. Remember that different thicknesses of clothing might require your child to readjust the straps.<\/li><li><strong>Support good posture.&nbsp;Being mindful about posture goes beyond just finding the right backpack.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/patient.info\/bones-joints-muscles\/back-and-spine-pain\/back-pain-in-children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Standing up straight and avoiding slouching can mean less back pain, the potential for injury, and a healthier spine<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus, remind your child they look a lot better when they stand up straight!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Encourage an as-needed basis<\/strong>.&nbsp;Backpacks weren\u2019t intended to be worn for hours on end. Whenever they can, encourage your child to take off the backpack. They\u2019ll feel more comfortable and their spine will appreciate their effort!&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack a Healthy Lunch&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows lunch programs that include fruits and vegetables help reinforce a child\u2019s preferences for these foods.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16157415\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">They have healthy options to choose among, and their peers eat those same healthy foods<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, not every school presents that option. Some offer less-than-stellar food options, while other schools might not provide lunch at all. These four tips can make lunchtime healthier for them and less stressful for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Get your kids involved.&nbsp;<\/strong>Packing lunches make a great opportunity to establish healthy habits your kids will use for life. Be creative and make healthier versions of their favorites. You can always use a lettuce wrap or gluten-free tortilla to replace bread. Sliced carrots or apples with little servings of almond butter also pack well. So do little bags of healthy trail mix or raw nuts.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Foster mindfulness.<\/strong>&nbsp;Studies show&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22583917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">children eat lunch too quickly<\/a>.&nbsp;Time constraints and peer pressure contribute to this, but so do the habits kids learn at home. Encouraging kids to eat slowly and mindfully at breakfast and dinner can carry over into their potentially rushed school lunchtime. Remind them to chew slowly. It helps with digestion.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Create a lunch co-op, and share in the work.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you\u2019re among health-minded moms and dads, you might consider designating lunch duties to one person in the group every week. This takes some financial planning and commitment, but it can also make healthy lunches easier while saving you time.<\/li><li><strong>Teach kids to do the best they can.<\/strong>&nbsp;Even the most well-organized parent forgets to pack lunch or finds their kids having to choose unhealthy school lunches. Teach your child to make the healthiest option. That might mean pulling the grilled chicken breast off the bun or eating sweet potato fries rather than regular fries. Every little effort counts towards a healthier lifestyle and fosters the right attitude for life.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Time for Family Fitness and Physical Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/1367506\/pew-research-teens-worried-they-spend-too-much-time-on-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Teens spend on average about&nbsp;<em>nine<\/em>&nbsp;hours a day on electronics, whereas those aged eight to 12 spend six hours<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s an astounding amount of screen time daily on&nbsp;cell phones, tablets, laptops, television, and other electrical devices,&nbsp;which cuts into physical activity time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But active kids do better academically and thrive in other areas of life. These four tips can help them become more physically active even if sports or the gym aren\u2019t part of your child\u2019s daily routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Make Time for Family Fitness<\/strong>. Family fitness helps everyone get in better shape while spending more time together. Schedule \u2014 and make it&nbsp;<em>mandatory&nbsp;<\/em>\u2014 a Saturday afternoon touch football game, frisbee throwing, or even a long lake walk. If you don\u2019t have a hiking trail nearby, make a day outing at a nearby destination. (Bonus: Cell phone reception can be difficult in more remote environments!) Even your vacations can become physically focused, whether that entails a 10-day Hawaiian adventure or skiing in Colorado.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Find something fun<\/strong>.&nbsp;If exercise feels like a chore or a \u201cmust do\u201d on an ever-growing list of duties, kids are less likely to want to do it. While it might require some trial and error, find something your child enjoys. That might be group sports, weight lifting, yoga classes, swimming, or gymnastics. The point is to move more and foster a stay-fit attitude they\u2019ll have for life.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Be an example<\/strong>.&nbsp;When they see mom or dad schedule the gym or an at-home workout, kids are more likely to feel inspired and find their own physical activity they like to do. If you have excuses about why you can\u2019t work out, they\u2019ll find those excuses too. Find a gym that is kid-friendly, like a YMCA, and take them with you. They might find other kids to play with or even join you in your fitness routine.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Move more<\/strong>.&nbsp;Children don\u2019t need any special equipment or a gym to stay fit. Little decisions like choosing the stairs instead of the elevator or parking further from the mall doors can add up to healthy gains.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eat Healthy Snacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing a healthy lunch or eating one at school should keep your kid full and focused all afternoon. But everyone gets the munchies, and a healthy snack can provide an energy boost and mid-afternoon satisfaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, snacking is where children \u2014 and adults \u2014 get in trouble. You know the scenario: You send your kid a healthy lunch, but they visit their friends\u2019 home after school where they serve homemade brownies or potato chips.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try these four ways to avoid unhealthy foods from entering your kids\u2019 pathway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Pack grab-and-go bags<\/strong>.\u00a0You can pack nuts, seeds, healthy trail mix, and apple slices with almond butter in baggies that kids can conveniently grab whenever they want something to munch on. A little prep work will save you money while ensuring your kids aren\u2019t reaching for candy bars or corn chips for snacks.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Upgrade their favorite foods to healthy ones<\/strong>.<strong>\u00a0Healthy snacking doesn\u2019t mean deprivation or eating boring foods. Nearly any food can be \u201chealth-ified.\u201d Take crackers: Our\u00a0Gluten-free, Grainless Crackers\u00a0provide the perfect munch without junky ingredients in boxed crackers. If they have a sweet tooth, our\u00a0Brookie Cookies\u00a0or\u00a0Almond Butter Fudge\u00a0provide decadent deliciousness without the added sugar.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Make a protein shake<\/strong>.\u00a0This fast, filling snack or mini-meal also provides you the opportunity to slip in healthy ingredients like leafy greens and freshly ground flaxseed that your kids wouldn\u2019t normally eat. Blend healthy fats like coconut milk and avocado with our\u00a0grass-fed whey protein\u00a0and frozen berries. Play around with consistency and texture until your child finds a shake they love.<\/li><li><strong>Make healthy popsicles<\/strong>.\u00a0Nothing quite satisfies on a hot day like a popsicle. Blend our\u00a0grass-fed whey protein\u00a0with unsweetened coconut milk and berries, pour into molds, and freeze. These will go quickly so make several batches!\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Become Engaged Socially, Academically, and Creatively<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids deal with a lot of stress these days: They may feel the stress to excel academically, have peer pressure, and experience the stress of our fast-paced life. As adults, that probably feels like a lot of pressure. Imagine what it might feel like for your child!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer involves taking things gradually, mindfully, and cultivating a routine they can use for life. Being involved \u2014 with academics, with family and friends, and in extracurricular activities \u2014 plays an important role in a child\u2019s upbringing. These four tips can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Identify, but don\u2019t label<\/strong>.<strong>&nbsp;Calling a child \u201cshy,\u201d \u201canxious,\u201d or other terms can reinforce labels and amplify those labels.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.turnaroundanxiety.com\/support-child-become-socially-comfortable-tips-shyness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Encourage children to develop their own personality, teach them that it\u2019s okay to feel socially awkward sometimes, and foster the encouragement to develop socially rather than isolate themselves<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Cultivate community<\/strong>.&nbsp;Some children thrive in social situations. Others need encouragement. Even the most introverted child needs some sort of social outlet. That might be volunteering, creating a book club, or finding an age-appropriate Meetup group with like-minded people.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Find ways to make learning more enjoyable<\/strong>.&nbsp;\u201cDo your homework.\u201d If that elicits a groan or sigh from your child, you\u2019ll want to find ways to make the work less cumbersome or frustrating. Consider rewarding effort rather than the outcome, and allow them to make mistakes. For older kids, encourage seeing the big picture. You can find something interesting in even the most seemingly boring subject, and even if that feels like a struggle,&nbsp;<em>everybody&nbsp;<\/em>has to do things they don\u2019t like sometimes.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/childmind.org\/article\/how-to-help-your-child-get-motivated-in-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tell them that making the effort to achieve a goal can create a sense of satisfaction<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Be aware of underlying feelings<\/strong>.&nbsp;Some children have trouble expressing the anxiety, depression, or stress they feel at school, home, or otherwise. You can\u2019t take away these emotions, but you can identify them and help children cope with them. If your child feels stressed out, for instance, you can help them learn to better manage their time and take better care of themselves.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/psychcentral.com\/lib\/7-tips-for-helping-your-child-manage-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Getting good sleep and not over-scheduling can also alleviate those feelings<\/a>.&nbsp;Remember to be the example you want them to learn.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right mindset and these strategies, you can create a healthy school year for your kids.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Back to School Time Get The Right Backpack Pack A Healthy Lunch Make Time for Family Fitness and Physical Activity Eat Healthy Snacks Become Engaged Socially, Academically, and Creatively Transitions can feel like a challenge for everyone.
