  you guys. I'm your girl, Patrice Grumble also known as sc book Guy
• 3:58
  A four three. And it's a Sunday night, so that means I have
• 4:02
  a bonus show, so we know August is coming, and that means we
• 4:10
  get to return dour beautiful kids to their second parents, which are the teachers
• 4:15
  of principal the administratives. And first we want to say thank you for keeping
• 4:21
  an eye on our little people. But hey, you guys, we as
• 4:26
  parents have to do our part. So tonight's show is about getting these kids
• 4:30
  back and ready for school. Okay. So tonight I'm just gonna give you
• 4:36
  some parental trip tips, okay, and these are going to be tips about
• 4:42
  appropriate bedtimes. I picked my three favorite African American parenting websites. Yes,
• 4:50
  it's okay to be on a parenting website because we do not know it at
• 4:58
  all, and especially me and my generation. You know, the elders are
• 5:03
  kind of leaving us earth, and you know some of us didn't take all
• 5:06
  the notes that we were supposed to get. So join me as I have
• 5:11
  this shot slyeshow talking about back to school? Okay, so everybody knows back
• 5:25
  to school right, our next slide back to school. Some kids wear uniforms,
• 5:30
  come kids do not wear uniforms. There are some schools that have free
• 5:34
  lunches. There are some schools that do not have free lunches. But it's
• 5:39
  up to us experients to prepare our students for the next school year. Every
• 5:45
  school year is different. You want to have a routine, you might have
• 5:47
  to tweak it every year. But my next slide is going to give you
• 5:51
  some more information on those parental prep tops. Okay, first, you guys,
• 5:59
  please say that realistic goal for our kids, break the big goals down
• 6:04
  to smaller steps and be ready to adjust them and compromise. Now, speaking
• 6:10
  as a parent, my daughter hates to go to bed on time. It's
• 6:15
  always an argument. So now we have it two weeks of back to school
• 6:19
  and we're back in school. So I gave her this option. I will
• 6:26
  let you go to bed at nine thirty. But if any moment you get
• 6:31
  up to go to camp and you say five more minutes, that means your
• 6:36
  bedtime needs to be nine o'clock. So gad breaks down that bigger goal of
• 6:42
  getting her to bed on time to a smaller goal that she can achieve.
• 6:46
  Okay. The next tip is poritize self care, reduce to stress, and
• 6:54
  stay motivated by getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying actives. Don't
• 7:00
  start arguments first thing in the morning. Get the kids things out at night,
• 7:10
  give them a sense of priority, a sense of chores. Okay,
• 7:15
  we have Sunday. That means we get all of our clothes out for her
• 7:18
  week, and if you stack them in certain places, they can grab that
• 7:23
  and prepare theirself through the day. For me and my daughter, also,
• 7:27
  we have now turned away from watching the news and really watching the news for
• 7:33
  a timer, but we put on affirmation and music, so I let her
• 7:40
  make her morning playlist. One of her favorite songs right now is Big God.
• 7:46
  Now, yes, she's dancing and everything, but I do remind her.
• 7:50
  Okay, remember we're on a time schedule. Okay. That leads us
• 7:55
  into our next tip, which established routine routines help kids feel secure and behave
• 8:03
  better. A bedtime routine can signal to your brain that it's time to sleep,
• 8:09
  improving your sleep quality routine first thing in the morning. You say your
• 8:13
  prayer, you make your bed, you brush your teeth, you wash your
• 8:18
  face, you wash off, You put those things that are done on a
• 8:22
  normal basis. That helps out everyone in the household. That eliminates the arguments.
• 8:30
  Now, will it go smoothie all the time? Nope, surely want
• 8:37
  but nine times out of ten it's gonna go smoothly. Now, there are
• 8:41
  gonna be days where is something big going on, Like my daughter, they
• 8:46
  have school where you have to do your funny box socks, wear your hair
• 8:52
  this way. Those are also things you can prepare the night before. Okay,
• 8:56
  Now, this is one of my baddest tips for one of the baddest
• 9:03
  things I do, and this is a tip that I am trying to do
• 9:07
  this year, and like you guys literally trying to do this year because your
• 9:13
  girl has invested in the organizer. So we'll see how well this goes.
• 9:18
  The next tip says stay organized, use a shared family calendar for everyone's schedules,
• 9:24
  and make a daily morning to do list. The morning to do list
• 9:30
  is just like your regular morning routine. The schedule is something that if you
• 9:35
  have a child that's involved in a lot of activities like I do. My
• 9:41
  child goes from dance to church dance. Now she's gonna be doing in another
• 9:48
  dance, so that's three dance companies, not talking about other little things that
• 9:52
  she might be involved in going to this outreach, of going to this friends
• 9:58
  party, but having the those things written down and having a schedule does alleviate
• 10:03
  any confusion. Another example, my sister has three boys all I'm play football.
• 10:15
  My hat school goes off that my sister's so good because I have one
• 10:20
  nephew on this field, I have another nephew on this field, and I
• 10:24
  have another nephew sitting understand because his team isn't playing, and she keeps it
• 10:28
  all they have a routine schedule, so stay organized. Get that routine.
• 10:37
  Another thing, encourage independence. Teach your children to take responsibility and work on
• 10:43
  their own, which helped them succeed in school. Okay, my daughter is
• 10:48
  now, we're doing spelling words. Yes, school starts in two eads,
• 10:52
  but I want to go ahead and get her in the routine of doing this
• 10:56
  independently so she knows, Hey, I got two words wrong. I said,
• 11:01
  Okay, what do you do with those words that you got wrong?
• 11:05
  And that means I have to write my sentences and I have to write the
• 11:09
  word five times each. It's a routine. And encourage the independence because she
• 11:13
  already knows what she needs to do. And the biggest of them all parents,
• 11:18
  let's limit the screen time. And the screen time doesn't mean just on
• 11:22
  tablet, it doesn't mean just on your phone, but it also means TV
• 11:28
  too. Let's cut all this down. My daughter gets thirty minutes once school
• 11:31
  start. Thirty minutes, that's all you get. What you're gonna do with
• 11:35
  the rest of your time read a book. That's another thirty minutes that you
• 11:39
  will do during the day, draw, play around in your room. But
• 11:46
  let's cut down some of the screen time. Okay, so everybody's talking about
• 11:52
  bed time, So our next slide is going to show you what are the
• 11:56
  appropriate bad times that you need for kids. Yes I have the four to
• 12:01
  six months, and yes I do, but this is just a short listing
• 12:07
  of those times. Okay, you guys. For kids my daughter's ages,
• 12:11
  it's nine, they need about eight to twelve hours of sleep. Now,
• 12:16
  these times do change the older that they get. Now, if you're someone
• 12:22
  between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, you should get at least eight hours
• 12:28
  of sleep. And I'm gonna say this, when you start to go through
• 12:31
  puberty fourteens, it's hard to tell your body it's time to go to bed
• 12:39
  at nine o'clock because your kicking in the second year. So appearents, just
• 12:45
  watch out for them. If you see in the morning they're going to bed
• 12:48
  at eleven o'clock, which is you know, okay, appropriate time for sixteen
• 12:52
  seventeen year old. But if you see them in the morning, you see
• 12:56
  them starting to become drowsy and stuff like that, then you might want to
• 13:00
  talk to them about adjusting their bed times. Also, this might not be
• 13:07
  conventional, but take those cell phones away. You should not be on the
• 13:15
  phone eleven twelve thirty one, two o'clock at night when you have school in
• 13:20
  the morning, you can do two things. Turn the Internet off in the
• 13:24
  household or get the phone. Okay, stop our next slide. This is
• 13:33
  my favorite, So of course I can't be sc book y'all eight four three
• 13:37
  and not show you the next slide that has the favorite back to school read
• 13:43
  alouds Okay, so I'm first back to school read aloud. It's called I
• 13:58
  Got the Spirit. This one is by Connie Chanspiel Morrison. Summer is over,
• 14:05
  and this little girl has got the school spirit. She hears the school
• 14:09
  spirit and the bus driving up the street, room room, and the bell
• 14:16
  sounding in the hall. She sings the school Spirit song in class with her
• 14:22
  friends. ABC one two three. You guys, this is the cutest book
• 14:28
  I've seen. The colorful art inside of the book, the making, the
• 14:33
  sounds that remind you of the city where you are, and those familiar sounds
• 14:37
  inside the classroom. Is a great short read for any kid that's going back
• 14:43
  to school. I Got the Spirit by Connie Chanpiel Morrison. Now our next
• 14:50
  side, it's called The Nosy class The Noisy Classroom It's a young girl who's
• 14:58
  a out the end of the third grade, but this year she's putting Missus
• 15:03
  Johnson's noisy class. Okay, everything about this noisy class is odd. Where
• 15:09
  all the other kids are quiet, Missus Johnson's things and the kids chatter all
• 15:15
  day. The door is always closed, but yet the sounds can be heard
• 15:18
  in the hallway. Will some are coming to an inn and school's starting.
• 15:24
  This girl realizes soon that she'll be going to the noisy class. What will
• 15:30
  school be like? Now? This one? You bring a girl into a
• 15:35
  situation where she's not really used to And the one thing about this book it
• 15:41
  helps you deal with your anxiety. And yes, kids do have anxiety.
• 15:46
  Matter of fact, that's my daughter's favorite character in Inside Out Too, which
• 15:52
  is anxiety. Okay, so you guys, we're gonna take a break real
• 15:58
  quick, and we got three more reads that we're going to bring to you
• 16:03
  so you can read to those kids, and some more tips and a surprise
• 16:07
  at the end. You guys, don't laugh at my surprise. But we're
• 16:10
  gonna take commercial and we'll be right back. Got sixty seconds. Take a
• 16:18
  mental health minute to learn about depression disorders they cause symptoms that affect how you
• 16:23
  feel, how you think, and how you handle daily life. Depression should
• 16:30
  be treated by health professionals. Don't try to handle it alone or treat it
• 16:37
  with alcohol or illegal drugs. Treatments include psychotherapy or talk therapy, medication,
• 16:45
  and sometimes brain stimulation therapy. These treatments may also be used in combination with
• 16:49
  one another. If you think you might have depression, talk to a trusted
• 16:53
  friend, family member, or health care provider. The earlier treatment begins,
• 17:00
  the more effective it is. Learn more about depression through the NIMH website and
• 17:06
  take sixty seconds to share this mental health minute to help someone else. Welcome
• 17:18
  back everyone. We're about to get to our next book, and it is
• 17:22
  called The King of Kindergarten. I know y'all see his crown right. You
• 17:26
  can't tell him anything, he is so ready. The King of Kindergarten is
• 17:33
  by Derek Barnes. The morning sun's blared through your window like a million brass
• 17:37
  trumpets. That's behind your head like a crown. Mommy says today, you're
• 17:45
  gonna be the King of Kindergarten. Starting kindergarten can be a big milestone.
• 17:52
  And the hero of this story is ready to make his mark. He's dressed
• 17:56
  himself, he's eating a pile of pancakes and can't wait to be a part
• 18:02
  of the whole kingdom of kids that they will be jam packed, but he's
• 18:07
  up to his own challenge, taking the new experiences and strive with his infectious
• 18:11
  enthusiasm, and afterword, he can't wait to tell his proud parents all about
• 18:18
  the achievement and then wake up to start another day. Now that is the
• 18:23
  best book I can see to read to any little young king that is going
• 18:29
  into kindergarten. I'm excited and ready to go to kindergarten and parents, you
• 18:33
  know, we can't wait for that first day for them to come back and
• 18:37
  tell us about all the friends they met, all the old friends they got
• 18:41
  back, about how they don't like school lunch and this and that, and
• 18:47
  just talk our ears off about their day. So, if you got a
• 18:52
  young king in your life, go ahead and grab this one. The King
• 18:55
  of Kindergarten by Derek Barnes. So, I know we got the King of
• 19:00

• 19:26
  reminds her of that the good thing she's bringing to the classroom, stuff like
• 19:30
  her kindness, friendliness, and impressive soccer skills too. Like the King of
• 19:37

• 19:41
