experience
A "dress rehearsal" of
the first day of school
can make a big
difference. Your child

talking about it in a
friendly way so your child

place. Discuss school
activities, school friends,
new experiences and new
things to learn.

doubts or fears, do not
pass them off. Try to
answer all the questions
in a positive, reassuring
way and let your child
know that there will be
friendly people to help of
those first uncertain
days. Your own reactions

about school.
