In my own country, schools have resumed; they resumed last week, so the routine in the house has to change too. During holidays, everyone could sleep in, eat at odd hours, and watch cartoons for a longer time, but as school resumed, everything had to be structured back. First, I start with rescheduling their sleeping time a week before school opens to ensure that they are well rested.
Next is to arrange their mealtime, plan healthy meals and snacks that will fuel their energy, and foods like bread and eggs for breakfast and rice and vegetable sauce, but above all, stock the kitchen with what you will be needing most. School kickoff, you won't want to be in a hurry and forget something's.
Prepare a study time for them, arrange where they will stay and do their homework, and get electric lamps. Time to go get their school supplies like backpacks, new notebooks, pencils, pens, and lunch packs. Have a form of communication with your kids: find out who is happy to go back to school and those that are not, and why. Let them express their feelings concerning their school, and look into it as parents.
I will be changing my brother's child from his former school because of the lack of teachers, which he always complains about. Screen time has to be reduced so they focus on their schoolwork and other activities.
The biggest adjustment is the daily routine of waking up early to cook their meals, because as a mother, while your kids are adjusting, you are adjusting as well. You need to keep alarms, lay out uniforms and polish shoes, and lay stockings out. Even little things like setting aside transport fare for to and fro.
In all the arrangements, make sure that the kids still have to rest, play, and even do family activities together. Don't make the routine too strict so everyone won't burn out.
