If one of your children is about to join the school for the first time, then you are facing a major event in the life of your child that requires you to be fully prepared till it passes quietly and peacefully.
One week before school:
The way you prepare yourself for the day on which your child will go to school for the first time is of great importance. If you do not take care of it, your child will not either; if you are waiting for this day with excessive anxiety, your child will be anxious like you. The ideal behavior, however, is that you wait for that day as if it is an exciting day in the life of your child, as you do with the days of ‘Eed, which are full of excitement, and thus your child will receive this day in the same correct way.
Things to be done in this week:
Many fathers overburden themselves for the entire week by preparing the necessary things that the child will need in school. However, they miss a very important thing, which is helping their child cope with the new environment that he will experience on the first day of school. Thus, the most important thing you must do this week is to invite some children to your home who will accompany your child to school -- whether they are relatives, neighbors or the children of your friends. During this week, you have to prepare everything your child may need for his studies, including writing equipment, uniform, bag, shoes and so on. Teach your child how to wear and take off his uniform, label each piece of equipment, and write his name in a small sticker and fix it on his school bag.
One day before school:
1- It is only natural that the child will feel anxious and tense the night before school, so try to help him sleep early.
The first day of school:
1- On the first day, it is preferable for the child to go to school with one or both of his parents. This makes him feel secure and confident.
4- Ask him about what he did during the school day and give him the chance to give full answers to your questions, not to answer with a yes or no.
7- Awaken him quite early so that he will not be in a hurry in the morning.
4- The child should leave the house at the exact time in order to join the school assembly line.
7- Not to talk to strangers or accept sweets or gifts from them
