Prepare for entry to kindergarten

How to prepare for school?
It is best that he knows the premises of his school before going on the first day, even from the outside. Talk to him gradually, telling him that now he has grown up and will meet other friends of his age. That a mistress, who is neither a mother nor a nanny, will take care of him and teach him a lot of new things. Be careful, however, not to whisper your ears with a "Now you're big!" That could put a big pressure on his shoulders. Above all, do not dramatize this important step in its development. Because a child feel everything, so do not be too stressed ... he would become it too!

He clings to me and screams when I leave him at school. What to do ?
Do not worry, in general, this difficulty in leaving you does not last more than a month. Often, children stop crying very quickly after the departure of their mom or dad. Prepare the separation during the journey of theschoolTell him that he has the right to spend a day away from you and that you will be here tonight. Indeed, little guilt sometimes make them leave their mom alone! If your child has been kept by a maternal assistant or nursery, the return will certainly be easier.

Do I have to change my behavior during our free time?
Yes, during the first month, it will be important for you to be a little more available. Spend more time with him at night, but do not bother him with questions. He may want to keep a little secret garden. Rather than ask him, "What did you do today?" Ask him more specific questions, such as "With whom did you play during recess?"

He looks exhausted since his return. Does he work too much?
His program is full of activities of awakening (drawing, singing, gymnastics), and the noise of the many students, especially if he eats in the canteen, can tire him. You will also see a drop in plan towards the holidays of Toussaint. Fortunately, in the first year, a nap is mandatory. If your child no longer sleeping, he will rest a moment in a bed anyway.

He does not want to go back to school anymore. What to do ?
There is a difference between not loving theschool and not want to go back there. In this second case, there is certainly a temporary problem. Maybe he was bothered by older ones or his mistress scolded him. If the situation persists, do not hesitate to meet his teacher. It can enlighten you on a possible incident that you can then demystify with him.

Testimonials: how did you prepare your child for school?

To prepare my daughter for her second year of kindergarten, I first spoke to her about it, especially so that she would know she would have a new mistress and new friends. Her best friend Lorena is in another class which makes her a little sad. For her birthday, which falls on September 1st, I gave her a Barbapapa backpack. The day before, we chose together his "back to school" clothes. So she was pretty proud to cross the threshold of the class with her pretty dress and her brand new backpack.

Laura was really looking forward to going toschool. His great sister is among the means, which has facilitated, and much, his return. She knows she can find her at recess and that reassures her. On the other hand, it was more difficult for his Coralie among the means. I think we focused all our attention on the last and neglected note elder. In the background. for her too, it's a comeback, and even if it's her second, it's still a great day.

During the vacations I bought books from Medhischool was an integral part of the story. Then we went for a walk in front of his many times. I knew the name of the teacher and I mentioned her many times. In this way, he arrived a little in known territory, even if it was his first return.
