Congratulations on this new chapter in your child's life!
LKG (Lower Kindergarten) is an exciting time for children as they begin their formal education journey. Here are some tips to help your child adjust to nursery/LKG:
*Before the first day:*
1. *Talk about school*: Share stories and pictures about school to create excitement and curiosity.
2. *Establish a routine*: Start a daily routine that includes waking up early, having breakfast, and getting dressed to help your child adjust to the new schedule.
3. *Label everything*: Label your child's belongings, such as their water bottle, lunch box, and bag, to help them identify their things.
*On the first day:*
1. *Arrive early*: Reach the school a little early to help your child get familiar with the surroundings.
2. *Meet the teacher*: Introduce yourself and your child to the teacher, and ask any questions you may have.
3. *Be positive and calm*: Show enthusiasm and confidence to help your child feel more secure.
*During the initial days:*
1. *Encourage independence*: Gradually encourage your child to do small tasks on their own, like putting away toys or using the washroom.
2. *Communicate with the teacher*: Share any concerns or observations with the teacher to ensure your child's smooth transition.
3. *Be patient*: It's normal for children to take time to adjust to the new environment. Be patient and supportive.
*At home:*
1. *Create a conducive environment*: Designate a quiet area for your child to do their homework or activities.
2. *Encourage learning*: Engage your child in fun learning activities, like reading, puzzles, or playdough, to reinforce their learning.
3. *Maintain open communication*: Talk to your child about their day, listen to their experiences, and address any concerns they may have.
