For the past few weeks, the youngest has been getting impatient and has been talking about his first steps at school . Many parents, on the other hand, particularly dread this moment. Follow these tips.
Children are generally attracted to new things and new experiences. Many of them are then very excited at the idea of making their very first return to school. Some are particularly proud to follow the example of their elders. In the days leading up to the date, kindergarten becomes the main topic of conversation for little ones. Very impatient, some even count the days.
However, even if your little boy or girl is dying to be on the school benches, they have no real idea of what school life is really like, especially the fact to stay half or a whole day there. The separation is likely to be very badly experienced by those concerned. This is why we must not hesitate to clearly explain to them a few days in advance the course of a day in class, the work and the activities which are proposed there, the new friends to be made, without forgetting the respect and obedience to the mistress.
A small foray into the future school is strongly recommended for children who are apprehensive and dreading this first day of school. Take a complete tour of the premises:the classroom, the playground, as well as the canteen if the child is going to have lunch there. Put this visit under the sign of fun and relaxation to make the child want to come back.
In addition, only talk about the school on good terms and if possible, even schedule a meeting with the teacher. Fifteen days before the long-awaited date, already accustom the child to going to bed and waking up at fixed times. The day before, prepare his school bag with him and also choose together the clothes and shoes he will wear.
Schedule the morning wake-up call, ninety minutes to two hours before, to give him time to have a good breakfast. And even when snacks are distributed by the new school during the tea party, put in his bag his favorite cookie. Otherwise, to put him at his ease and to reassure him, let the child bring his cuddly toy:the teachers are used to it and also teach them to only take it for a nap.
You can also buy supplies with the themes of his favorite cartoons, the child will be all the more happy and enthusiastic. The thing not to do is to fall behind in the preparations:arriving slightly late on the scene will only increase the stress of the toddler. When leaving, the child may cry and beg you to stay with him. Don't scold him. Instead, reassure him by promising to pick him up at the end of class. Do not leave until the loulou is no longer within sight of you and be on time when he leaves school.
