Spring is here, our clocks have sprung forward, and our kids are wiped out (and so are most of us). With change in seasons comes change in routine and structure. Volleyball season may be wrapping up, or just beginning, depending on the age level. Baseball practices have begun (or will soon). We’re encouraging our kids to get outside and PLAY because they need it. Many of our other “things” haven’t stopped, but here we are, readjusting to the next season.
I needed the recent sunshine.........bad---to be outside, to move my body, and soak up some Vitamin D. So did my kids, but it came with a whole new level of exhaustion for everyone. They are not just playing, but playing hard. They’re coming in from PE and recess beat red and sweaty, and doing the same thing after school. That fresh air and level of movement takes time to adjust to.
Sometimes ‘tired’ looks like needing to sit and rest after school. Sometimes it looks like the least restful night of sleep because they are so overtired. It can also look like temper tantrums, turning little problems into big problems, or a shift in personality (and not a great one).
What doesn’t work? Discipline. You cannot discipline the tired out of someone. There can be consequences for actions, but if the root cause is exhaustion, that consequence needs to come with a change that makes sense, like scheduled downtime.
Try creating a simple, calming bedtime routine that you stick to as much as possible. Most of all, it will just take time. Understand that there are hills and valleys, and because your child may be in a valley now, does not mean that every part of them is changing for good. Staying present, calm, and consistent with boundaries and routine can be a game changer to how our kids respond to change.
The forecasted rainy day on Saturday poses a great opportunity to slow down. Watch a movie. Play a game inside. Just be bored for a while. Most of all, enjoy each other. There is nothing we can do for our kids that is more meaningful than quality time together.
Look at our Bulldog Alumni making an IMPACT at the high school level. We are so proud to see our former Bulldogs excelling and making a difference beyond the halls of GES. Keep reaching for the stars.
Today we celebrate Payton. Payton is the recipient of the 2025 Illinois Principal Association Leadership Award. One student from each member school of the IPA can be nominated for this prestigious honor.
Payton defines positive leadership. Whether on the court, in the classroom, or serving in the role of student mentor, she leads by example. Her ability to uplift others and model kindness makes a lasting impact on everyone around her.
We congratulate Payton for making a positive IMPACT at GES.
We’re happy to share the official 2025-26 school calendar to help families plan ahead.
Get ready for another exciting school year!
