“Back to school” season is upon us, and it is no secret that your little schooler might be experiencing mixed feelings of joy and enthusiasm, coupled with anxiety and concern! However, here are six tips that will help your kid start off the school year on the right foot.
1. Be all ears!
As some students might welcome the back-to-school season with open arms, others might need hand-holding. Hence, “how are you feeling about going to school?” should be asked more often. Ask them about their expectations and the things they are excited about, and ease away the worries and concerns they might be feeling. It is important to assure them that what they are feeling is normal and there is nothing to worry about. Don’t forget to mention that you will pick them up by the end of the day, and you can’t wait to hear all about their day!
2. Pay school a visit
Whether your kid is starting pre-school or is a returning student, prepare him for the year ahead by visiting the school before the first day. Tour around the playground and peer into his classroom! This will give him a sense of security and help him be familiar with this place on the first day.
3. Play school at home
Role-playing will help familiarize your kid with the idea of school/preschool. You can include activities like story time, coloring, singing songs, and even nap time. However, don’t hesitate to visit our website, as you will surely need this Minnie Wooden Easel with Storage, Learning Mat Crayons, Alphabet Letters Notebook, and Ready For school-Brown Watson. You can also choose from our wide collection of best-selling books and your kid will have something to look forward to every day!
4. Start a new routine
Since waking up early will become the new norm, it’s important to set up a sleep schedule a few weeks before school starts. You definitely don’t want to deal with a groggy child on the first day of school.
5. Leave a heartfelt note
While preparing his lunchbox, let him know that you are thinking about him! Make sure to draw a smile on his face by leaving a heartfelt note; be it a funny drawing from his favorite Disney character or a joke from his best-loved book.
