There\u2019s a lot for your child to absorb and process during a regular day at <\/span>preschool<\/span><\/a>. From interactions with friends during playtime to grasping new STEAM concepts, and learning how to navigate time without your input as a parent \u2013 there\u2019s always something new and different going on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"preschool<\/div>\n

As a parent you want to equip your child to get the most out of their time at preschool while also helping them to process their emotions and learning effectively. There are six things that you can do to help them once you pick them up from school:<\/span><\/p>\n

Have a snack ready in the car<\/span><\/h2>\n

Being a preschooler is busy work, and they might get into the car hungry after a morning of running around, playing, and learning. A healthy snack will help get their energy levels back up and can even prevent a meltdown as you stabilize their blood sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make space for some downtime after school<\/span><\/h2>\n

Children are sponges for new information and experiences, so there\u2019s a good chance that when they get home from school that they\u2019re overwhelmed by everything that they\u2019ve learned. A preschool environment<\/a> is also a busy place, so if your child is more introverted, they may need a bit of time to reset. Whether your child needs a nap after school, some time in their room to play or read quietly, or even just 20 minutes watching their favorite TV show, this can be an important way to help them recharge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spend some one-on-one time with them<\/span><\/h2>\n

Just as you\u2019ve missed your child, they\u2019ve missed you \u2013 even if they\u2019re not able to articulate it. Making time to hang out without scheduled activities will help them feel connected to you and will mean that they\u2019re less likely to act out because they want attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask about their day at preschool (and share about yours)<\/span><\/h2>\n

This teaches your child how to process their experiences and will let you know if there\u2019s anything they\u2019re worried about or looking forward to. It also helps keep you up-to-date with who they\u2019re playing with and the type of activities they\u2019re doing at school. If you\u2019re struggling to get more than one-word answers out of your child, try sharing about your day so that they learn how to share information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a walk and get some fresh air<\/span><\/h2>\n

Getting out into nature is excellent for cognitive development and to promote a sense of calm. It may not be possible to go for a hike, but a walk around the block or a stroll to your local playground is the next best thing. A quick outing will give your child a chance to work off some energy and is another excellent opportunity to find out more about how they\u2019re doing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read a book before bedtime<\/span><\/h2>\n

Reading books is an integral part of the day at preschool and is usually done in a group context. Reading at home before bed reinforces the importance of reading time, while also giving your child undivided attention so they can discuss the book at its concepts with you. The added advantage, of course, is that you get in extra cuddle time as well as calming them down before they go to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n
