Unlike other social environments, a school is a place that contributes significantly to the social development of children and adolescents and provides them with skills in this regard. In this sense, it can be really challenging for the child who has a social environment to leave this place and complete his education in another school.
This process, in which a new social environment may have adaptation problems or difficulties, must be supported by the parents and be accompanied by them in order to adapt.
If we need to take a closer look at the problems that he may experience during the adaptation process, we can see his efforts to impose himself on the environment. Being the "new student" in the classroom should not be something to be taken lightly. With all eyes on you, would you stand up and introduce yourself? The question may lead the child to experience the first-day syndrome.
In this process, teacher and parent cooperation are essential. Support is of great importance for the child to be accepted into groups, to make friends, and to feel like a part of the school easily and quickly. In fact, acquiring a new social circle may not always have such an impact. Children with high social skills do not have difficulties in their interactions, they just become a part of the school after experiencing a process without difficulty.
However, school change often has negative effects on children with poor social skills. The opinion of the experts on this subject is that school changes should not be made unless it is very necessary.
Your communication with your child is important in this regard, as in every other subject. Stating that teachers can be socialized by organizing age-appropriate activities that pave the way for children to integrate with each other, the experts emphasize that it will be effective to have conversations with the children of the family on their social experiences in the first weeks. Sharing the experiences of the children before you who had a school change is another very effective method in softening the process.
It takes time to adapt to a new social environment. However, if the adaptation process is taking longer than necessary, we think it is best to seek support from a specialist.
