September Reset: Building Strong Homes & Healthy Habits for School Success

School is in full swing, and fall is right around the corner. As we step into this busy season, let’s pause to make sure we’re taking care of our families—and ourselves—on the homefront.

Prioritize Health at Home

With new strains of illnesses, including COVID, on the rise, it’s more important than ever to boost our immune systems and keep our households healthy.

✅ Take your daily vitamins

✅ Wash your hands often

✅ Schedule your annual physical

✅ Make sure the kids are up to date on check-ups

A healthy home creates a healthy environment. Stock up on essentials like Lysol, wipes, and sanitizers. Prevention is always better than cure.

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” – 3 John 1:2 (NKJV)

Stay Involved in Your Child’s Learning

As parents, grandparents, and caretakers, we are the first teachers. Teachers play a vital role, but the homefront is where confidence begins.

• Check homework and backpacks daily

• Review writing for legibility and clarity

• Encourage children to read out loud

• Spot-check pronunciation and comprehension

Confidence begins at home—your reassurance gives them strength in the classroom.

 “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)

Organize for Weekly Success

A key to balance is preparation. Save stress by:

• Laying out school clothes for the week

• Cleaning out and re-organizing backpacks

• Preparing supplies ahead of time

• Teaching independence with age-appropriate tasks

Small steps of preparation prevent big stress later in the week.

Give Your Child the Best Start Each Day

Success starts at home.

• Make sure children are rested and clean

• Get them to school on time

• If breakfast isn’t at home, ensure they arrive early for school meals

Life rarely goes as planned—but when we prepare well, we create balance and stability for ourselves and our families.
