Back-to-School Prep: Tips for Kids

Hi Budding Youngsters,
School's back in session, and it's time to dust off those books and backpacks! I know it can be tough to get back into a routine after a long summer of late nights, video games, and snacks. But remember, a healthy mind and body go hand-in-hand.

Here are a few tips to help you get back on track:

• Create a schedule: Balance your time between schoolwork, exercise, and healthy screen time.
• Prioritize sleep: Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep each night to improve your focus and concentration.
• Eat healthy: Fuel your body with nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Manage stress: Talk to your parents or teachers about any worries or anxieties you may have.

Before school starts, don’t forget to schedule a physical and eye check-up with a pediatric consultant in Umm Al Hassam. They can help ensure you're in top shape for the school year ahead. With a little effort and a positive attitude, you can achieve great things this year!
