If we recall our very first day to school then all of us would admit that we were excited and nervous at the same time. Honestly, more than the child, the first day of school is equally important for parents because it is more or less like visiting the memory lane.
Your child looks up to you for almost everything and at the tender age of three or four, they are not just looking for support but also for validation. As parents it's your duty to ensure that that the kid is prepared to enter any uncharted territory.
So, what is it that you can do to ensure that your kid is ready for his first day of school? Read on to know the various things you can do prepare him for the school:
Make Him Aware
It is a natural human tendency to be scared of the unknown. Thus, familiarising the child with the environment of the school is very important. The first step that you can take is making the child visit the school where his term will start. This way the child along with the parents will be aware of the many aspects about the school including its location, look, and layout of the place.
So, this way when your child will finally arrive on the first day of the school he won't feel disconnected with the playground, classroom, lunch area or any other part of the school. While we are at the point of familiarising, making your kid know the teacher can also helpful. You can also look up the handbooks of day boarding schools in Delhi. This will ensure that you are prepared with the code of conduct.
Set up a good example in front of him
Making your child feel excited about the school is the best way to make him prepare for it. This can start with you sharing and telling about your wonderful memories you had in your school. You can also call in your child's cousins and friends from the colony to come and share their experiences that they are having currently in school. This will make your kid excited about what’s to come and look forward to going to school.
One of the most fun things about going to school is buying school stationery. Children love collecting colours and colouring books. You should get them what they want so that they can feel excited about the school. By paying a little extra money, you can even personalize the stationery items.
