As your child approaches their first milestone of “growing up,” many parents feel anxious and even overwhelmed about their child adapting to new rules, environments, and friends. Questions like: “Will my child feel overwhelmed by the new environment?”, “Will they be able to grasp the knowledge?”, “Will they get along with their teachers and peers?” often arise.
To help parents prepare thoroughly for their child before entering Grade 1, Fairy School suggests 3 essential preparations to help children confidently step into primary school!
Preparation 1: Get study supplies ready
It may sound simple, but having all the necessary personal items and study supplies is a crucial step.
- Make sure your child has all the essential textbooks, writing tools, rulers, and other basic items.
- With today’s diverse and rich curricula, parents need to thoroughly understand the school’s requirements to prepare any additional necessary materials.
- If the school requires uniforms, ensure they are prepared properly and take accurate measurements of your child to register with the school.
Careful preparation will give your child more confidence on their first day of school.
Preparation 2: Develop interpersonal skills
Equipping your child with interpersonal skills is very important as they will encounter many new situations in the school environment.
- Teach your child how to handle difficult situations through small, relatable, and easy-to-understand stories.
- They need to learn proper behavior with friends and teachers. For instance, instead of getting angry, they can learn to speak gently when disagreements occur.
- Parents should guide their children on the right way to handle situations instead of scolding them, allowing them to understand naturally without feeling pressured.
Preparation 3: Build a strong mindset
Not only parents but children also feel anxious when entering a new environment.
- Instead of scaring them with phrases like “If you’re not good, the teacher will punish you,” parents should paint a beautiful picture of school: loving friends, dedicated teachers, and fun lessons.
- Ignite their curiosity and excitement about the new environment, encouraging them to explore rather than worry or fear.
If your child has a fragile mindset, you can enroll them in the “Ready for Grade 1” course at Fairy School. This course will help them:
- Develop habits of self-care and self-learning.
- Get familiar with the learning environment through fun and engaging lessons.
