Even if your new preschooler\u00a0will only be away from home for just a few\u00a0hours, the first day of school will\u00a0be a huge step. We know you\u2019ve prepared as much as possible, but will all of\u00a0the excited\u00a0anticipation of the next big step translate into a smooth,\u00a0stress-free transition on the first day of preschool? As a parent, you can\u00a0help\u00a0them ace it, and all their weeks ahead, with these helpful get-ready-for-school\u00a0strategies.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-174000000556 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/avalon-park\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2019\/07\/4L6A5607.jpg\" alt=\"preschool curriculum in avalon park fl\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/>Tip 1: Do Not Rush Through the Morning<\/h2>\n<p>Nothing can get you as frazzled as rushing through your morning routine because you are running late. This is especially true for young children. Make sure to get everyone up at a reasonable hour so you and your new pupil won\u2019t be racing through morning activities.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 2: Try to Arrive Fashionably Early<\/h2>\n<p>If you show up a bit early to school, your little one can slowly settle in before all of the hubbub of the day starts. This allows extra time for your child to talk with the teacher and get comfortable with their new surroundings which is tougher to do once all of the other children arrive.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 3: Put on Your Happy Face<\/h2>\n<p>Nerves are highly contagious, so make sure to remain confident and excited, even if the anxiety is eating you up inside. If your overall demeanor is upbeat and happy, there\u2019s a better chance your child\u2019s will be, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 4: Make Sure to Communicate Expectations with Your Child<\/h2>\n<p>When it is time to go, make sure to say goodbye to your child and not just sneak out when they are distracted. When we sneak out, we play in to our child\u2019s fears about abandonment. Let them know what time you will be back and discuss what they can expect throughout their day. Having an understanding of when you will be back for them can go a long way in helping them cope with a good bye.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-174000000557\" src=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/avalon-park\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2019\/07\/4L6A5455.jpg\" alt=\"orlando fl preschool\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/>Tip 5: Discuss Their Day with Them Once School is Over<\/h2>\n<p>Ask your child to tell you all about their day; what they did, who they met, what they liked most, and what they are looking forward to tomorrow. Getting them excited about the fun stuff they get to do at school will make the morning good byes so much easier on everyone.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to enroll your child into a well-established\u00a0preschool program that will encourage children to play, grow, and learn at\u00a0their pace, contact our Avalon Park early education centers for more info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some children, preschool is an exciting new adventure.\u00a0For others, especially for children who have never left home for an\u00a0extended\u00a0period of time, it can be scary and overwhelming.
