🎒 Is your LITTLE person about to start BIG school? 🎒
Here is some helpful tips to help with the transition:
- Support your child to develop independence using the bathroom – including urinals for boys – and practice good hand-washing techniques.
- Write your child’s name on all their school things and involve your child in organizing them and recognising their name. Make sure your child’s name is not visible on the outside of anything they’ll be wearing to and from school.
- Set up a play date for your child to play with a friend.
- Check out the local library and let your child choose books to borrow.
- Take a ball to a park to throw, catch and kick together.
- Organise a picnic with a packed lunch and encourage your child to open it and eat the food by themselves.
- Putting on their school shoes and walking in them.
- Dressing in their school uniform.
- Packing and unpacking their school bag.
- Drinking from bubblers.
- Opening and closing their lunch box and identifying food that is for lunch and food that is for recess.
