Helping your Child Adjust to Nursery School

Has your child come of the age when it has to be sent to nursery school? Parting with your child can cause a lot of strife to the parents; remember unless you are totally comfortable with the concept of sending your child to pre-school, your child will also not be very happy to go to school.

Your child is going to an environment which is full of unfamiliar people, the teachers and other kids. While the school will play its fair role in making the child comfortable, even you have to ensure your child is mentally ready to go to school. The child is already apprehensive of the new environment; you on your part can reduce that. You should be totally comfortable with the concept and start talking to your child about pre-school. Familiarize your child with the activities that will happen in the playschool. For instance, let it work with paper and crayons, so that your child feels comfortable when he sees the same things at his school.

Visit your child’s classroom, before school starts, talk to the teachers so that you can talk to the teachers about the activities that will happen in the school. Start the same activities at home; this will make the child totally comfortable with those activities.

Go with your child to the school and let it decide whether it wants to interact with other kids or not. Allow your child to explore the class and its activities. Make sure the child is familiar with the class and the activities that happen there.

To make yourself more comfortable with the concept of sending your child to kindergartenschool, ask the teacher, how they handle the children in the first week? This will not just make the move smoother for your child, but reassure you as well, that your child is in good hands.

On the first day, introduce the teacher to your child and then let the teacher form a bond with the child. Let them handle your child. If you show familiarity with the teacher, your child too will accept the teacher quickly.

If your child is clinging to you and refuses to let go, quickly say a goodbye and leave. If you continue with a long farewell or just sneak out, your child will cry all the more.

Irrespective of whether your child is ready to leave for play school or reluctant to go that a staff member from the school is ready to help you with the transition. Your child will adjust faster once you leave.

Some nurseryschools begin with some familiar games such as forming a circle by holding hands and then each child tells what it did the previous day. This may be a familiar activity but ithelps in instilling a sense of routine in the child. Any activity that familiarizes school for the child is good. It will help the child accept the school more.

The beginning of school for your child is a beautiful phase in your life as a parent, selecting the correct school and ensuring your child is absolutely ready for school is the will give you joyous memories of this phase.

Why send your child to nursery school

Often stay at-home moms think that it is absolutely unnecessary form them to send their children to pre-school. They feel as long as a child has learnt the alphabet, and can count the child doesn’t need to go to any school. If you are one of those moms, you can’t be more wrong. Children learn more than nursery rhymes and counting in playschool. Their personality is moulded in a playschool. Moreover in the present scenario, when everything is globalized and information and technology is controlling our lives, can you afford to deny nursery education to your child? There is no sensible reason to question sending your child to a nursery school. Repeated research has shown that pre-primary education has a deeply positive effect on the personality of your child. In this article, I’m going to highlight the reasons why you should send your child to a pre-primary school:

1.     Helps your child socialize and interact with others

Most kids are comfortable in their home environment, with their parents, but they are shy when meeting outsiders. While the shyness of kids appears cute on face value, it hampers the healthy growth of the child. This problem should be tackled early so that this shyness does not hamper his ability to communicate with his peers. Nursery school education encourages children to interact with each other and provides a perfect arena for children to socialize. Children love interacting with kids who are of the same age as they are. They will happily mingle with children of the same age and have fun.

2.     Pre-primary school provides a friendly atmosphere for children to grow

Children happily learn in a friendly atmosphere. So in order for them to learn, the environment around them should be friendly and comfortable. Pre-schools provide an atmosphere for them, which makes them, feel at home, without it actually it being their home. The nursery education trained teachers are especially trained to create a playful atmosphere for children to learn. The friendly atmosphere they create helps children especially to learn.

3.     Pre-schools emphasize the importance of learning and teamwork

Once your child has learnt the basics and is well-adjusted to its surroundings the time has come for it to start learning. Pre-schools create that urge in a child to learn. In pre-schools a child not only develops new learning skills and improves its existing skills, it also learns the importance of teamwork. Nursery School teachers teach children to work in groups. While working together children not just learn to interact and socialize, but also the importance of teamwork. They learn that in order to complete a task, everybody must work together. Learning to appreciate team work makes children better students, better colleagues and also better citizens in the long run.

4.     Your child will be ready for regular School

Once your child has attended nursery school, it will be ready for regular school as it is no longer afraid to go out in the world without you. It is hard task for you to separate your child from you, but once the child has adjusted to pre-school, it will happily go to school.
