Do you have children starting kindergarten? Are your children going to a new school this year? The following tips can help make the transition smoother and less stressful for both yourself and your kids.
- Help ease your kids into a school routine by having them go to bed and get up earlier starting a week before the first day of school begins.
- If riding the school bus, arrange a mini “field trip” to the buss garage to see the busses and practice getting up and down the steps.
- Take your children to visit her new school, prior to the school year starting. Find her classroom and meet her teacher ahead of time.
- See if the teacher can give you the names of parents and children who live near you, and who will be in your child’s classroom. Having a friend always helps.
- Be sure your child gets lots of sleep and eats a good breakfast so that he will be better prepared to deal with the new changes he will experience.
