Will you be experiencing a first day of school this year? Maybe your child is just starting school or maybe they’re old pros. Whatever the case it’s always an emotional time for parents. Be prepared for the big first day with these tips;
* Does your child know their teachers name? Spend time getting them prepared especially if they’re just starting school. You may even be able to take them to school for the first day or an orientation day ahead of time.
* Purchase the items on the back to school list and have them labeled and ready in your child’s backpack before the first day of school.
* Sit down with your child and explain in simple terms what the first day of school is going to be like. You might show them your school pictures in your online photo galleries. Allow them to ask questions and answer them the best you can.
* Fill out and have on file an emergency contact card for your child. This is critical for the school so that they know who to contact in case something should happen.
* Get the school lunch menu ahead of time and talk to your child about what lunch time is like. You may want to send cold lunch with them if you’re unsure if they will eat. Or, if you’d rather don’t make it a choice off the bat and see how they fare with hot lunch.
* Take pictures of the first day for your web photo album. It can be easy to forget in the excitement of the first day but you’ll want to save these memories for the future!
You can help to ensure your child gets off to a great start by making sure they are prepared.
