Setting solid norms at the beginning of a school year is important for kids. Norms for bedtime, homework routines, and screen time can be hard and stressful. BUT taking the time to set those norms and standing by them until them become habit will pay off in the end. It will make for a smooth, successful, and enjoyable year. Kids thrive on solid schedules. It allows their bodies and brains to perform at their highest level.
