Ready, Set, School: A Parent’s Guide to Transition
Transitioning back to school can be an exciting and nerve-wracking time for kids. Whether they’re starting preschool or returning to high school, parents can play a crucial role in helping them adjust. Here are some tips to ease the transition:
- Role-Model Coping Skills: Teach deep breathing techniques to calm anxiety.
- Familiarize with School: If possible, attend tours or open houses. Otherwise, simulate the experience at home by pretending someone is the teacher and discussing expectations.
- Gradual Routine Adjustment: Transition back to regular sleep patterns before school starts.
- Back-to-School Countdown: Create excitement by counting down the days.
- Discuss the Year Ahead: Talk about what to expect and address any concerns.
- Celebrate Their First Week Back: Acknowledge their efforts and achievements.
- Validate Feelings: Allow kids to express their emotions freely.
- Keep Summer Fun Going: Plan activities for the first week of school.
- Gradually Reduce Screen Time: Start with more downtime after school and then adjust as needed.
Remember, remaining calm, offering reassurance, and practicing coping skills can make the transition smoother for kids.
