Talking to Your Child Makes a BIG Difference
Give her some briefing on what children
do in school. Like saying something LIKE this…
-“You will just read, write and draw
and even color, isn’t that exciting?!”
-Tell her the fun of learning. Remind
her why children have to go to school. That she must not be afraid she does not
know yet what they will be studying, tell her she is not the only one but all
of her classmates. And that is the
reason why they have a TEACHER –to teach them.
-That it is enjoyable to meet some
new friends , her classmates. Remind though that only during “break time or recess”, she can chat or play with them.
Tell your child of the:
‘Do’s and Don’ts’ while
in School
-There is a time to snack on and to chat or play with classmates that the school and the teacher would
allow.
Children can not chew bubble gum or eat
their snacks while not yet break time.
-Wait for the teacher’s instructions on what to do.
Teacher will say what she will need you to do,
wait for her instruction when to get crayons,
pad paper, notebook or pencil.
-Be sure to familiarize her with the school supplies she got so she will
not get confused.
-Children must listen while the teacher speaks.
