It’s almost time to send your little academics back to school, for some of them it might be their first day at school. A lot of stress will be involved from getting them ready in the morning to the tears and sad faces as you leave them in their new classes. It’s a nightmare.
So this year, try to be more prepared and help prepare them to deal with the day successfully.
- Start putting them on an early sleep schedule. Get them on a new sleep pattern so they will wake up refreshed and on time.
- Let your child know what his schedule will be like. Tell him what time school begins and ends each day.
- Ask your child about his/her feelings – both the excitement and the concerns about starting school.
- Visit the school with your child to see his/her new classroom and meet his/her new teacher before school officially starts.
- Point out the positive aspects of starting school. It will be fun and they can make new friends.
- Let your child know that all kids are nervous about the first day of school.
- Once they are comfortable and know what to expect, your children will have a fun and stress free first day.
