Ten tips to prepare your child for school

1) Let your child know what their schedule will be like. Tell him what time school
begins and ends each day.

2) Ask your child about her feelings — both the excitement and the concerns — about starting school.

3) Visit the school with your child to see his new classroom and meet his new teacher before school officially starts.

4) It will be fun and s/he can make new friends.Point out the positive aspects of starting school.
5) Let your child know that all kids are nervous about the first day of school.

6) Leave a note in your child’s lunchbox that will remind him you’re thinking of him while s/he’s at school.

7) Reassure your child that if any problems arise at school, you will be there to help resolve them.

8) Try to have your child meet a classmate before the first day of school so s/he will already have a friend when school starts.

9) Arrange for your child to walk to school or ride together on the bus with another child in the neighbourhood.

10) Find out about after-school activities that your child can join. Will there be a back-to-school party? Can s/he join a sports team?
