The new school year is almost upon us! We are Looking forward to seeing you in September at the start of what will certainly be a wonderful year of growth and learning for your children. Here are some important reminders:
Get to know the daily schedule in kindergarten. Before the start of the school year, start synchronizing the schedule 1-2 weeks in advance, especially the wake up and sleep time, to help Gumi adapt to the pace of kindergarten life in advance.
If your child is new to kindergarten, it will be helpful to visit the kindergarten with parents to familiarize with the environment and build a sense of security.
When at home, focus on developing Gumi's self-care skills, such as eating, toileting, etc. Practice using the sentence "Teacher, can you help me with…?" and learn to express his/her needs clearly.
Read some picture books with Gumi will help a lot with emotional development, such as I Love Kindergarten and David Goes to School, with the main character's fascinating story, combined with the children's personal experience, it is like rehearsing the scene of going to kindergarten.
In addition, mothers and fathers should be prepared to stabilize their emotions. Because the state of parents is actually very critical in this matter of separation anxiety. If parents are overly anxious, it will be easily affecting the child.
Is going to kindergarten destined to be scary and secretive?
谁说上幼儿园一定是非常恐怖、讳莫如深的事情呢？
No really, let's set up a countdown board at home to turn the first day of school into a day that the whole family will look forward to! As getting closer to the day of school, children and parents are getting mentally prepared for this special day. You can also add some ingenuity by designing the countdown as an interactive game, writing numbers on colorful balloons and poking one balloon each day in countdown order, as the number of balloons gets smaller and smaller, it's time for the first day of school!
Have Gumi bring their comforting items, such as family photos, favorite toys, small blankets, etc. And tell your child when you will come to pick them up, either by saying 4:00 p.m. or, according to the schedule of kindergarten, by saying to your child, "I will come to pick you up after you finish your afternoon snack.
On the first day of school be prepared for there to be tears, but don’t drag out the goodbyes.
上学第***，流泪在所难免，但是要让你的告别简短而温暖。
Give a hug and kiss good-bye, and then leave without lingering. The more confident you are about leaving your child on the first day of school, the more comfortable the child will be in the new school environment. Be assured tears will quickly pass as the class begins its exciting day! Almost always, tears stop once parents leave. If the teacher needs you, or feels your child needs you, he/she will call you.
What if Gumi miss us so much when in kindergarten?
小萃宝在幼儿园里，想念爸爸妈妈的时候，该怎么办呢？
Put a sticker as a "love button" on the hands of Gumi, and tell the child: "When you miss mommy and daddy, just press this button, mum and dad will be able to feel it!" let your child know that mom and dad's love and attention are always with him/her.
No need to worry about children's separation anxiety, as long as we use scientific methods to deal with it. The school will also work with the parents to solve this issue together. Let's look forward to the children's happy life in the kindergarten!
