With the preparation for the end of the summer vacation, many parents face a challenge to preparing their children to return to school. After weeks of comfort, play and evening, returning to the school routine may seem difficult for children, which requires pre -planning and organized efforts to facilitate this transition.
The importance of psychological preparation: Preparing the child psychologically to return to school is the first step towards a successful start. The child can show feelings of anxiety or stress due to separation from the family or the fear of teachers or new colleagues. Here comes the role of parents in strengthening the positive aspect of return, such as meeting friends, learning new things, and practicing preferred activities in the school.
Sleeping and daily routine: During the leave, children are accustomed to staying up late and waking up late, which affects their focus and activity on the school day. Therefore, it is recommended to start adjusting the sleeping times gradually two weeks before the start of the school, while reducing the use of electronic devices before bed, and providing a calm environment that helps to relax.
Physical and moral preparation: It is good to involve the child in buying school supplies such as the bag and stationery, which gives him a feeling of enthusiasm and belonging. An angle dedicated to studying at home can also be arranged and decorated with a way that motivates him to learn. It is also useful to review some basic information and academic skills in a light and entertaining way, to renew memory and motivate the mind.
Academic and mental readiness: Before the start of the school year, it is useful to stimulate the child’s mind with some mental exercises and light educational activities that prepare him to return to the atmosphere of the study. A short daily time can be allocated to review basic skills such as reading, writing, simple calculations, or using educational games that combine fun with learning. It is also advised to see with the child the contents of some subjects in a simple way, such as browsing the books of the new year or watching educational clips suitable for his age, which helps to create a positive perception and motivation of curiosity and learning. This step not only prepares the child cognitively, but also contributes to reducing the beginning of the beginning and gives him more confidence in his ability to succeed.
Encouraging positive dialogue: Talk to your child about his expectations from the new academic year, listen to his fears, and reassure him that you will always be by his side. He taught him how to deal with different situations, and instill positive values such as patience, cooperation, and diligence. Encourage him to set simple goals for the academic year, such as improving his level in a specific subject or participating in school activity.
Preparing children to school after leave is not a difficult task if it is done in gradual and organized steps. The more the child feels safe and supported by his surroundings, the greater his chance to achieve a successful school start full of success and positive energy. The role of the family is not limited to buying books and clothes, but also includes providing psychological and educational support, which is a basis for effective and happy learning.
