Predictors Of Back To School Success

Welcome to Back To School Week!

In 2023 the average American family will spend $597 per child in anticipation of the upcoming school year. And while new school supplies and fresh outfits can definitely get our children into the school spirit, it’s rest, nutrition, and predictable routines that *actually* predict success.

On today’s show Dr. Rebecca Jackson offers research-backed ways to ensure our children head to school with the best possible foundation.

Here’s a preview:

[2:30] A challenge amplifier: The pandemic’s lasting impacts on our children

[8:30] How parents can use the concept of neuroplasticity for back to school success

[11:30] Practical ways to prioritize rest in your home

[21:00] Packing a healthy lunchbox… ugh! Here’s why you should bother

[29:00] Fresh start or nerve-stressed? Thoughts on easing your child’s back-to-school unknowns
