Starting to return to bedtime and waking up times days before the start of school motivates children when they return to school. Especially those who enter for the first time. Getting them used to being organized with their supplies, leaving them ready at night are some of the keys that parents should keep in mind during this season. This must be one of the most interesting and fun times in a child’s life. Therefore the role of parents is essential. Well, they must guide them to make this an unparalleled experience. The following recommendations must be taken into account so that your children’s return to school does not take you by surprise. Implement new routines It is advisable to establish routines with specific times to get up and go to sleep. It should be implemented days before entering school so that the child gets used to it calmly. Fear of the first times It is normal for children to feel some fear or anxiety when entering school. It is recommended that parents talk to their children and give them the peace of mind and security that they need. It is necessary to highlight the amount of good things that they are going to find. Constant motivation This is a fundamental factor in the development and learning of children. When it’s time to go back to school, it’s valuable to highlight the new friends, the fun subjects, and the delicious lunch boxes. This way the child will have more desire to return to school. Space at home Homework is the kids’ daily bread. It is important that they have a special, warm and illuminated place where they can do their homework. Likewise, uniforms must be clean and ready. The return to c Lases involves a lot of uncertainty and stress for several reasons: – If it is the first time they go to school, the fear is total, especially due to the separation of their parents. The uncertainty of a “supposed abandonment”, the lack of knowledge of what an educational system is, knowing a teacher who knows what he or she will be like, and facing many other unknown boys and girls is not easy to face. – If they return to a new school year, meeting the new teacher and thinking about what their relationship with them will be like and missing the previous teacher (even if the relationship has not been entirely good). – If it is after an intermediate vacation period, the uncertainty and sometimes the fear or joy of thinking that everything will continue as before depending on how it was previously. – The reunion with dear friends. But also with colleagues who are not liked or worse still, with whom there was a dispute during the previous year. – The excitement of brand new backpacks, uniforms, books and all kinds of school supplies that they will show off to others. – The fear of discipline that is somehow broken during the holidays and that brings pressure to all family members. – The frequent aversion to schoolwork. – Previous unpleasant experiences at school or with past teachers or classmates. – The pressure at school, at home, in special classes and controlling time minute by minute. It is important to understand that the holidays have allowed the change of certain habits. Both food and sleep. As well as in discipline and schedules. So it is necessary that they adjust little by little, before the long-awaited and at the same time feared back-to-school day. Suggestions For everything to go well, we suggest the following: – Talk to them about the importance of returning to school. Determine with them what is expected this year and how they plan to achieve it. – Consider returning to school as something positive and very important. – Listen to their fears, doubts, interests and expectations very carefully and guide them respectfully at all times. – Establish and respect schedules to get up, go to sleep, eat, take special classes, do homework, and play or entertain yourself. – Make them responsible for taking care of their school supplies. The daily arrangement of their uniforms or school clothes. As well as solving their schoolwork to avoid the disorder that causes many family problems and tensions. – Monitor their breakfast well, which is the main food that will allow them to concentrate and learn well throughout the morning. It is often important to include a nutritional supplement for recess, so that they do not lack all the essential vitamins and minerals for their proper growth and development. – Be aware of all possible changes in behavior or attitude that may be manifestations of an unresolved problem at school or in your personal life. Keep in mind that their problems are as big and important as ours are. – Have everything ready so that the rush is not another reason for stress. Leave on time to avoid traffic and appear happy at all times. The issue of back to school is imposed with several tasks that parents must direct to start a school year ready and motivated with clear rules, appropriate schedules and very good spirits to keep our children sufficiently ntly stimulated to go to school happy every day. Let us therefore trust in our deep love for them, in our infinite creativity and in that support network that does not appear on the list of school supplies, that is part of our task of being parents.
