Explain changes to your child
For this Back to School is not a journey to the unknown, find out what your child will learn throughout the year, on the rhythm of his days, his creative and sports activities ... and talk with him serenely so that he is not too surprised to have no more recreation every ¼ time. Warning: inform him but do not scare him! Do not tell him "be careful, at the beginning you will not have fun anymore"schoolit's serious "but rather" from this year you will learn many very important things like reading and writing. " All children of this age dream of knowing how to read and write.

Prepare for the start of classes
After two months of vacation, the pace of children is more laid back. As we approach the day of the return to CP, re-introduce progressively more regular schedules. This will allow him not to be too tired from the first days that will already be rich in sensations and emotions. Because if he is tired, he will be easily subject to blues and he will have difficulty finding his marks.
If your child is a little turbulent, offer him during the holidays activities that allow him to ask a few minutes (not TV!): drawing, modeling clay, beads, puzzles ... to gently stimulate these abilities of concentration.

Spot them with him
The concern of children for their return to CP often comes from the non-knowledge of places. Thechild will indeed changeschool and lose all benchmarks acquired since 3 years in kindergarten. Regularly pass in front of your new school and participate in the end of year party of your next school school so that he can enter physically before his return and thus demystify the place.

Prepare his schoolbag
Even if you do not have the list of supplies yet, buy with him his school bag, a kit, a pen or two: children love this moment! This will also allow him to see the back to school as an event that is gradually taking shape.
