Suggestions
The first days of school we excit
ing and a little bit frightening for
both parents and children. Children
are learning to deal with a new set of
expectations and are adjusting to an
unfamiliar schedule. Parents are also
adjusting to different demands on
their schedule and are hoping for a
successful year for their children.
The following are some suggestions
that may help to make the first days
of school a bright new beginning for
parents and children.
Before School Begins:
1) Be certain that your child is
registered at school. Do not wait un
til the first day of school school
offices are often very busy during the
first few days. Be certain you have
all the documents you will need
proof of birth, immunization records
and name and address of previous
schools. The most important infor
mation any school needs is an emer
gency contact name, address, and
phone number in case you cannot be
reached.
2) Help your child learn skills that
will make him more independent at
school. For a small child, help him
her learn how to put on their jackets.
Also, work with them to learn their
name, address and phone number.
Older children need to learn how to
keep trackof their assignments. They
need to learn how to budget their
time and dress appropriately. Also,
you should take the time to label their
belongings with their name (coats,
sweaters, backpacks, lunch boxes,
hats, etc.)
3) Plan a "dress rehearsal" visit to
the school to locate classrooms,
restrooms, cafeteria, library, office,
and play areas. Reassure children
about schedules and expectations. If
your school offers a parentchild ori
entation, try to attend. Trace bus
routes or foot trails. Tell children
where you will be and what you will
be doing while they are at schooL Be
positive about their abilities to cope
Help identify women's issues

to help in first
with new situations. If your children
are going to daycare, try to arrange
for them to visit ahead of time, so that
they are mastering one new situation
at a time.
4) Talk to your child about his or ,
her skills, emphasizing their
strengths. What successes did they
have last year? What new interests
are they likely to be able to explore
this year?
On The First Day:
1) Get up early enough to allow
plenty of time for easy conversation.
Listen in the morning to fears your
children may express, and help reas
sure them about their abilities to cope
with new responsibilities and new
friends.
2) Plan for a good breakfast, and
arrange for a nourishing lunch. If
your child is taking lunch, take this
opportunity to teach them how to fix
a balanced meal. If he or she is buy
ing lunch, you may want to check
with the school cafeteria to determine
cost and menus so that there are no
surprises that first day.
3) Let your child be as indepen
dent as you can about getting to school
and meeting the new teacher. If they
are ready to walk on their own, honor
their wishes, even if you watch from

knows exactly what to do after school.
And what to do if there is a mix-up in
plans. Include phone numbers in their
school materials.
4) After school, plan some family
time to listen to each child to hear his
or her experiences. Remember that
your reactions on the first day will
set the tone for the entire year. Learn
the names of teachers and special
friends. Listen to fears or concerns,
go over all written materials from the
school, and be certain that the enure
family understands the expectations
outlined by teachers and school rules.
Try to focus on positive aspects of
the first day, and help children real
ize that there is bound to be an adjust
ment period to any new situations.
The first days of school are often
one of the first great challenges and
opportunities your child will en
counter. If you take an active interest
in what happens to your child, listen
to your child, and encourage inde
pendence and success, you are not
only setting the stage for a great
school year you are helping your
child to learn to meet new challenges
