8 Ways to Transition Young Children

Back to School 

 

1)      Plan a day with your school-aged child to get school supplies and make it an anticipated and fun day.

2)     Talk to your child about what they are looking forward to during this school         year.

3)     Talk to your child about their fears of going back to school.

4)     Make sure to attend with your child the open house that your school is providing. Help your child meet his/her new teacher.

5)     Once you find out the bus information for your child, review this information with them. Take a moment to walk with your child to the bus stop making sure they know where to go.

6)     Share with your child your most treasured school memories. Make this a fun event such as including eating ice cream at your favorite place.

7)     A couple nights before the first day of school, lay out clothes the child wants to wear, place school supplies in the book bag, and set aside lunch box.  Ask your child if there is anything else they forgot.

8)     After the first day, make sure to set aside intentional time to talk about your child’s day with 3 positives and 1 thing that did not go so well.
