Perhaps you\u2019re even more excited than your kid, who knows, but after all, it\u2019s the first day of preschool. Here\u2019re some little things to make the transition smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is huge. It\u2019s a big step, and it may feel like a step away from you\u2026 The backpack, the lunch, and just that your baby isn\u2019t a little baby any longer, he\/ she\u2019s a big boy or girl stepping out of your home on this special day. A preschooler aiming for kindergarten and elementary school and, soon enough, high school\u2026 You\u2019ll be aware of time actually flying by on this day. And yes, it\u2019s a little bit sad\u2026 and at the same time thrilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, it\u2019s a big occasion for your kid too, especially if he hasn\u2019t attended any daycare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Make sure that your child has visited the preschool before. The first day at preschool shouldn\u2019t actually be the \u201cfirst\u201d day. Your kid should have had an opportunity to get to know the place and the teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 See to it that your child\u2019s used to being around other children; playgroup practice is the best start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Talk a lot about preschool in advance. Talk about all the fun things that happen there, friends, playtime, craft projects, learning, music, and lunches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Let her\/ him decide what to wear, what to pack for lunch, for the first day at preschool. She\/ he\u2019s big now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Pack some extra clothes. There are so many fun things that happen at preschool and your kid won\u2019t want to miss anything, especially not for doing such a boring thing as having a potty break (even if it\u2019s desperately needed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 For the first few days, perhaps weeks, you may need to help your child warm up to the situation, just by staying behind at the preschool a little while. So don\u2019t just drop him\/ her by the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Always say goodbye, don\u2019t sneak away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a transition for both you and your kid, so one piece of extra advice; make time for lots of hugs and closeness for the following days and weeks. That\u2019s what it takes to get used to being, and having, a preschooler in the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tips for a smoother transition into preschool life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lifes-an-adventure"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
