Starting kindergarten is an important step for both children and parents. parents:here are my school tips for our darlings to make a success of their return to school!
Transition from baby to child , break with the family, starting kindergarten certainly has distressing aspects.
But all you need is a few things to prepare for the start of the school year and relieve the stress to make this moment easier to live!
At the time of registration, I advised parents to show the school at their end, to show him the toilets in his size, the toys in the yard, the place where we take a nap, and if possible, the head of his teacher. This reassures him... and you too!
Don't overdo it! If you keep saying, "You'll be polite to the mistress, don't forget to ask if you want to pee, etc...", you're only transmitting your apprehension. Trust Him and say instead:"I'm proud of you, you're old enough and independent enough to manage and go to school". And think about it!
Loulou is not reassured despite your encouraging attitude ? Show her the positives:"You'll find your girlfriend Zoe. And have you seen the big slide in the yard? And all the toys and books ? You will finally be able to take the beautiful backpack you have chosen to the supermarket! "
Even if you don't tell him, you're afraid he's not completely ready.
He still has pee/panties accidents :this happens frequently in small section!
He doesn't speak very well :Mistresses are used to it, language skills are very diverse at this age.
He always has a comforter or a pacifier :these objects are tolerated in small section in most schools.
Here we are ! Loulou has her hand clasped tightly in yours. It seems to you very small in his new clothes with his big backpack. This is not the time to overwhelm him with recommendations, like "your tissues are in your right pocket" or "ask if you want to pee". He's not listening anyway! He is completely taken by all the new visual and auditory information that surround it. Just tell him:"I'm picking you up for lunch" (or a snack if he has to stay in the canteen). Then give him a hug and leave:9/10ths of children stop crying as soon as the parents leave the class.
And be on time for the exit!
And above all, if you have tested tips to better manage the start of the school year, let us know in your comments!
