Avoiding School Daze

The first day of school is stressful for both children and parents. Whether your children are starting junior kindergarten, going to a new school, or simply advancing into the next grade, a little planning can help to alleviate those first day jitters.

1. The right tool for the job
• Before school starts, contact the teacher for a list of supplies that your child will need to begin the year.
• Children are usually proud of their new tools, and are eager to put them to work. If possible, purchase new, age appropriate school supplies that they will enjoy using.
2. If the shoe fits
• Find out what clothes or equipment will be required for gym classes. Will special running shoes be needed?
• Having this information before the year begins will help you to avoid unexpected costs later.
3. Fill out those forms
• Make sure that all the paper work has been taken care of before school starts. This will help to avoid confusion on the first day.
• Similarly, ensure that your child has had an annual physical check-up, including vision screening. Inform the school in writing if your child has any medical problems.
4. Scout out the school
• If your child is going to school for the first time, or is moving to a new school, visit it before classes start.
• Let him see his classroom and if possible meet his teacher, show him where the washrooms are, and what the playground is like.
5. History project due Monday
• Show your child how to use a day-timer or agenda book. Help her get used to keeping track of tasks that she has completed, and those yet to be done.
• Avoid electronic day-timers for young children.
6. It's supposed to be fun!
• Choosing extra curricular activities can be difficult.
• Many children want to join every team and club at the beginning of the year. When they have to drop something because they are overloaded, it can leave them with a sense of failure.
• Make sure your child is really interested in the activity and isn't signing up just to be part of the best team.
• Suggest some non-competitive activities.
7. Focus on the future
• Talk to your children about the future. Don't focus on passing a particular test or assignment, but on their dreams. Those dreams will ultimately lead them where they want to go.
