With most students now back in school, new schedules, expectations, teachers, and classmates can take some time to adjust to. One simple way to create more stability during this transition is by having predictable routines at home. Consistent routines that prioritize our physical needs can help us manage stress and navigate change.

A helpful framework from Compass Health Center is SEEDS:

🌱 Sleeping: Keep bedtime and wake-up times as consistent as possible.
🌱 Eating: Aim for regular meals and snacks.
🌱 Exercise: Make time for movement and outdoor play.
🌱 Doctor’s Orders: Stay consistent with medications, appointments, and other care routines.
🌱 Self-Care: Make space for rest, connection, and activities that help your child recharge.

Back to school season brings a lot of change. Planning one special activity during the first week of school gives your child something to look forward to outside of the school day. Whether it’s getting ice cream, having a family game night, or visiting the park, having a fun event on the calendar can help balance the emotions that come with the transition.

⭐️What special activity does your family enjoy together during back to school season?

One of the gifts of our Spending a Day with Jesus retreats is having an intentional space to step away from the noise of everyday life to connect with God, engage in meaningful conversation with other believers, and be refreshed in our walk with the Lord.

As one recent retreat attendee shared: “We all need a day that disrupts our routine in order to be with Jesus in a concentrated and guided space.”

Registration is open for our next Spending a Day with Jesus retreat on August 7th. We’d love for you to join us and invite a friend to come with you as well!
