HELLO TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

HELLO TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

Parents of students who will meet with kindergarten or primary school for the first time before the new academic year have some duties. Emphasizing that the students who will start kindergarten or primary school for the first time will be quite excited and anxious, experts point out that the child will enter a new environment, while they will start the education and training process with their friends by getting away from the home and comfortable environment they are always accustomed to. For these reasons, if families worry less and support their children more, their adaptation process will be easier.

It is seen that some children have more difficulties during the adjustment period that varies from child to child. You may experience "difficulty separating from your mother and father", which experts call separation anxiety. Attitudes of parents are very important here.

According to child behavior scientists, it is considered normal for parents to go to school in the first days. One of the drawbacks of continuing this for days or even weeks is to prolong the child's adaptation to school. Again, according to experts, families should step back by reducing their role at school. If the child's adaptation to school is more than 2-3 weeks, it would be appropriate to seek support from a psychologist without wasting time.

So, is it possible to accustom the child to school in pre-school? Yes it is possible. Preparing for school with your child makes it easier to get used to school. In addition to positive statements for school, shopping together and doing some activities related to school preparation will cause him to look forward to school. Visiting the school in advance and meeting the teacher beforehand, if possible, will comfort your child. Getting to know the building on the first day of going to school and having met the teacher before will reduce the stress of the child on the first day. Therefore, pre-school preparation is important.

 

For children who continue their education and training life, it can be challenging to re-adjust to school after a long vacation. Parents can create a program for their children because they know what the child has to do from previous years. Close to the start of school, by applying a little more discipline to them and preparing them for the obligations of the school, they can make their children adapt to school a little easier.
