It is that time of the year once again, the second week of June when most of the schools reopen. As easy as it may sound, parents of preschool children often face a lot of difficulty with the children not being able to adjust to the movement from daycare to preschool. Here are some simple dos and don'ts to ease out the transition.
DO'S
Schedule and routine
It is important to set a sleep hygiene at least a week before the date of reopening of schools. It makes the transit easier for both parents and children.
Familiarise your child with the school surroundings
Take you child for a walk around the school premises. It helps.
Connect to peers
Check with parents of other children who are likely to be in the same class as that of your child. Let the children connect.
Talk to your child
The child will be inclined to respond if you give him or her the right space by asking the right questions like 'How was your day today' or 'What are the new things you learnt today'.
DON'TS
Unrealistic expectations
Don't be discouraged by setbacks at school; it is part and parcel of every child's life. Don't set unrealistic expectations. Let the child fall and rise again from the difficulties faced at school.
Don't wait for the teacher to communicate
Should you feel that there are concerns relating to your child, communicate with the teacher. Don't wait for the teacher to reach out to you.
