If your child is getting ready to start her first day of preschool, you may feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to prepare for this huge step. Luckily, there are several things you can do to get your child ready for her first day, even if you feel like it\u2019s right around the corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Write it all down<\/span><\/h3>\n

From putting it on a calendar to writing on a whiteboard, or even putting sticky notes around the house; the more you write things down, the more prepared you will be. Start creating a weekly calendar filled with your child\u2019s new schedule and activities. Make a list of groceries you need to buy and make reminders for yourself of the things you\u2019re normally sure you\u2019ll remember. After doing these things, you\u2019ll feel a lot less stressed or like you\u2019re constantly forgetting something.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Start your new schedule early<\/span><\/h3>\n

Just because school hasn\u2019t started yet doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t begin to get your child acquainted with her new routine. If you don\u2019t already, put your little one to bed at the time you would begin bedtime once school started so by the time school starts, she\u2019ll be adjusted to her new sleep cycle and will be well rested for her first day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be honest<\/span><\/h3>\n

You may be tempted to avoid talking about this change too early, but refrain from keeping it a secret; the longer she has to process, the better. When picking out new things at the store for her first day, tell her what it\u2019s for, and even have her help. If she shows signs of reluctance or nervousness, acknowledge these feelings and make her feel understood while also encouraging her that she has nothing to be afraid of. Regularly remind her of all the positive things that will excite her about starting school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Start talking about school now<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest adjustments in a child\u2019s life when she begins school is mental\/emotional. Don\u2019t get so busy trying to get lunches and carpools in order that you forget to truly sit down with your preschooler and talk to her about what to expect. Let her ask questions and regularly bring up all the fun new things she\u2019ll get to do once she starts school. Before you know it, she\u2019ll be more than ready to run into her classroom and start this new adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n
