Those buzzers aren't always a welcome sound to kids.
Summer often means staying up late and sleeping in.
To reduce the shock from the early alarm, pediatrician Hailey Nelson suggests slowly adjusting your child's sleep schedule.
"It's kind of that sneaky thing as a parent," she said. "Just a 15-minute adjustment can really make the difference of helping them reset that sleep clock so that they're ready."
Dr. Nelson says it's also important to prepare kids for lunch and snack times.
"Scheduling lunchtime close to when lunchtime might be at school because our summer tummies are used to being able to eat whenever, and now at school, we're kind of on a stricter schedule," she said.
Dr. Nelson also reminds parents that now is the time to update vaccines and get that sports physical.
Whether or not your kids participate in organized sports, Dr. Nelson says getting plenty of movement is important all year round, so make it enjoyable.
At America's Kids in Motion, they're all about finding activities your kids will look forward to, regardless of the season.
"There are a lot of events here that create passion for a child and a long-term journey for them in their future," says Eileen Aragon with America's Kids in Motion.
Aragon says the activities throughout the year can help ease transitions in and out of the school year.
"Structure is important," she said. "I mean, it's important for adults. Think of how important it is for little ones to really create that commitment, that responsibility and just to be able to have something very formidable in their lives."
