Starting a new school year can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. With some planning, you can make the transition smoother for your family.
Here are some practical tips:
- Set up a consistent morning routine to avoid last-minute chaos.
- Lay out uniforms, pack bags, and prepare lunchboxes the night before.
- Organise school supplies and label all necessary items.
- Discuss any concerns your child might have and offer reassurance.
- Maintain a positive attitude to help your child feel confident.
- Reassure your child that teachers understand first-day nerves and will help everyone
feel at ease. If they’re anxious, discuss their worries and find solutions together. - Highlight the fun of starting school, like reuniting with friends and meeting new
ones, to help them feel excited. - Establish a consistent bedtime routine to help your child relax and sleep well, such
as a bath, reading, and saying goodnight.
