The summer holidays are flying by and the back-to-school season is just around the corner.
For parents and children alike, this change can feel exciting yet a little hoot-ic (hectic!).
At Happy Little Owls HQ, we believe that a wise approach to health and wellbeing helps children step into the new term with confidence, focus and energy
Here are some owl-mazing back-to-school health tips for kids, along with how our HLO Liposomal Multivitamin and HLO Liposomal Magnesium can help give your child the extra support they need.
1. Nestle into Healthy Sleep Routines
Good sleep is the foundation for learning, concentration and mood regulation. Start winding back bedtime 1–2 weeks before school starts to make those early mornings less of a shock.
Tip: Build a calming bedtime nest – think books, cuddles and no screens before lights out.
HLO Hoots – Our Liposomal Magnesium supports relaxation, helping little owls drift off peacefully and wake up ready to learn.
2. Fuel Brains with Balanced Nutrition
Back-to-school means busy days, so children need nutrient-dense meals to keep them alert and energised. Pack lunchboxes with a wise mix of protein, whole grains, fruits and veggies.
Tip: Invite your children to help plan and pack their lunches, kids are more likely to eat food they’ve chosen themselves.
HLO Hoots – Our Liposomal Multivitamin before breakfast ensures your child doesn’t miss out on essential nutrients, keeping their energy and focus steady throughout the day.
3. Support Emotional Wellbeing
New classrooms, teachers or routines can bring back-to-school jitters. Regular emotional check-ins show your child that their feelings matter.
Tip: Try short morning mindfulness activities – deep breaths, gentle stretches or even a positive affirmation together.
HLO Hoots – The superhero pose for 10 seconds every morning can be a great motivator for mum and dad as well as the kids! (pants over trousers optional…)
4. Build Strong Immunity for the Term Ahead
Schools are prime spots for colds and bugs, so it’s wise to strengthen immune defences early. Encourage outdoor play, hydration and rainbow-coloured meals rich in vitamins.
HLO Hoots: Our Liposomal Multivitamin supports immune health, while Liposomal Magnesium helps manage stress, an often-overlooked factor in keeping immunity strong.
5. Ease into New Routines with Structure
Children thrive on consistency. Creating a visual schedule for homework, activities and downtime helps them feel secure and in control.
Tip: Try a practice run of the school routine (including the journey) to ease any first-day nerves and set the tone for success. This is particularly helpful when starting a new school.
Final Wise Words from the Owls
Back-to-school season doesn’t have to ruffle feathers.
With thoughtful routines, nourishing meals, emotional support and the right supplements, your child can spread their wings and thrive in the classroom.
At Happy Little Owls, we’re here to give parents peace of mind with supplements designed to support children’s energy, focus, sleep and overall wellbeing.
Here’s to a hoot-tastic school year ahead!
