What Is a Reluctant Learner?

• Not a good or bad thing• They come in all shapes and forms• They tend to thrive better out of school than

in• Need a different approach to get motivated• Need different outlet to participate in class

And That Is Why Back to School Transition Is so Important

If you have a child that doesn't like change, it is important to:• Close a chapter to summer• Set a positive tone for the school year• Don't force a child to feel they have to be

excited and that it is okay to have big feelings• Do have your child visit the school even if they

have been there before (some schools have visiting day just for those reasons)

Everyone Wants a Smooth Transition from Parent to Teacher• Partnership• Your teacher isn't your BFF (at least not right

away)• Allow for adjustments• Realistic exceptions• KIT (Keep in touch)

Fall into Routine!!Make it into a game. Plus it boosts their Executive Function Skills as they learn to plan from you.• Ease back into it• Plan meals together

- (I know kids change their minds as to what are their favorites but go for their usual)

• Sleep!!!!• Lay out clothes
