Key takeaway “If you want your child to be off of screens or off of the phone, the first thing you have to do is remove it for yourself,” said Linder.
Why this matters in The Miami
For Miami-Dade County families, establishing a back-to-school routine is crucial, especially given the diverse range of neighborhoods and communities, from Little Havana to Miami Beach. As the new academic year approaches, parents in these areas can take steps to ease their children's transition by maintaining consistent daily schedules throughout the summer. This is particularly important in a county where many students may be navigating language barriers or cultural adjustments, making a smooth return to school all the more vital. By attending back-to-school events, such as meet-the-teacher nights, parents can help their children become familiar with new environments and faces, reducing anxiety and setting them up for success. With Miami-Dade schools starting classes in less than three weeks, families can start making these adjustments now, modeling good habits and a positive attitude towards education to help their children thrive in the upcoming school year.
