The new Lancashire school year starts in just one week's time.
So, how can you help your child prepare for the new academic year?
No, it's not more times table practice.
No, it's not more reading or spelling.
My top tip:
Get them back into a routine.
If your bedtime routines are out of whack and you've been eating when you feel like it, you're probably not alone.
After six weeks of going more with the flow, now's the time to start getting back into a routine.
Routines help children feel settled because they know what to expect.
Getting into a routine now will help them get back into the swing of things at school.
