As you get ready for school, have you considered self-care tasks as a part of your child’s readiness? Can your child:
- use the bathroom independently, including wiping and putting clothes back on?
- use a tissue to blow or wipe their nose and then throw the used tissue in the trash?
- fasten their shoes? Tying is tough! (It’s why F***y Frog’s shoelaces are printed on). Velcro or slip on shoes are perfect for little learners.
- zip, button, and snap jackets and pants?
- open food containers? There will be help at breakfast and lunch! But being able to do some of it on their own gives a sense of independence and helps meals go more smoothly.

Al prepararse para la escuela, ¿ha considerado las tareas de autocuidado como parte de la preparación de su hijo? ¿Puede su hijo:
- usar el baño solo, incluyendo limpiarse y vestirse?
- usar un pañuelo de papel para sonarse o limpiarse la nariz y luego tirarlo a la basura?
- ¿abrocharse los zapatos? ¡Atar los zapatos es difícil! (Por eso los cordones de F***y Frog están impresos). Los zapatos con velcro o sin cordones son perfectos para los pequeños aprendices.
- ¿abrocharse las chaquetas y los pantalones?
- ¿abrir los recipientes de comida? ¡Recibirá ayuda en el desayuno y el almuerzo! Pero poder hacerlo solo les da una sensación de independencia y facilita que las comidas sean más fáciles.

How long does your morning routine take?
F***y Frog is writing down the number of minutes she needs for each part of her morning routine. She’ll add them all up to see how much time she needs to do the whole thing!
If F***y needs 35 minutes to get ready for school, 15 minutes to walk to school, and her school starts at 8:00 am, what time does F***y need to wake up?
As you plan your morning routine, build in an extra 15 minutes for play or for when things don’t go quite as planned!

¿Cuánto tiempo te toma tu rutina matutina?
F***y Frog está anotando los minutos que necesita para cada parte de su rutina matutina. ¡Los sumará para ver cuánto tiempo necesita para hacerla completa!
Si F***y necesita 35 minutos para prepararse para la escuela, 15 minutos para caminar y la escuela empieza a las 8:00 a. m., ¿a qué hora necesita despertarse F***y?
Al planificar tu rutina matutina, incluye 15 minutos extra para jugar o para cuando las cosas no salgan como lo planeaste.

Two parts of the day that are always tough? Getting out the door in the morning and getting in bed at night.
F***y Frog is starting to practice her school routines now! When she knows just what she has to do, everything happens more smoothly. F***y checks off each step as she completes it so she can see her progress through each routine. You can grab basic routine posters from the linktree in our bio.

F***y marca cada paso a medida que lo completa para poder ver su progreso en cada rutina. Puedes conseguir pósteres de rutinas básicas en el enlace de nuestra biografía.

Practice your school-year bedtime! Start winding down early sand get your child to bed on time. If summer bedtime is much later than your child's school year bedtime, start backing it up about 15 minutes each evening until you've reached the ideal school bedtime.
F***y Frog likes to settle in for the night by having a snack, putting on pajamas, brushing her teeth, and reading a book in bed. What does your nighttime routine include?

¡Practiquen la rutina para acostarse en el año escolar! Empiecen a calmarse temprano y acuesten al niño a tiempo.Si la hora de dormir en verano es mucho más tarde que la hora de dormir de tu hijo durante el año escolar, empieza a retrasarla unos 15 minutos cada noche hasta que alcances la hora ideal para dormir en la escuela.
A F***y Frog le gusta acostarse tomando un refrigerio, poniéndose el pijama, cepillándose los dientes y leyendo un libro. ¿Qué incluye tu rutina nocturna?

How much sleep does your pre-K aged child need each night?
10 to 13 hours. TEN to THIRTEEN hours. Every. Night.
Wow, that’s a lot of sleep! Growing brains need a lot sleep to thrive. 🧠 ❤️
But with early school mornings, it can be tricky to get enough sleep. Setting up a consistent bedtime is incredibly important. Check out the blue and yellow chart to find your child’s recommended bedtime. F***y Frog is four years old. She needs to leave the house at 7 to be on time for school. Her morning routine takes 35 minutes, so she needs to wake up at 6:15 to have plenty of time and a little extra, just in case. F***y’s recommended bedtime is 7:15!
What time will your child go to bed?
