🎒 Getting ready to go back to school?

Returning to earlier mornings can be tricky after the holidays. A calm and consistent bedtime routine can help children and young people feel rested and ready for the school day.

🌙 Bring bedtime forward gradually
📵 Have some screen-free time before bed
📖 Choose a calm activity
⏰ Keep bedtime and wake-up times consistent

Small changes can make a difference, but remember that every family is different.

📅 Sensory Summer: preparing for September

The move from the summer holidays back to nursery, school or college can bring changes in routines, clothing, sounds and expectations.

You could help by:

✅ Talking about the change in advance
✅ Using a simple visual countdown
✅ Practising the morning routine
✅ Checking that clothing and footwear feel comfortable
✅ Keeping familiar calming items available
✅ Scheduling quiet time after busy transition days

NHS sensory-processing resources include advice for school transitions and encourage support to be tailored to each child or young person’s individual sensory needs.
