Tips for the First Day of School For Some children, going to school is a happy, uneventful
break from family or caregivers. For other children the experience is
both difficult and frightening. Until that first morning, there is no
way to be absolutely sure of how your child will react. On occasion, days
after, there is a delayed reaction accompanied by tears and non-verbalized
fears. How parents react can play an important role in a child's enthusiasm
and acceptance. The language of support, before the event, can help to
dispel some of the fears: "You will have so much fun!" "There will be toys and games to play with!" "Your teacher will help you with the bathroom." "You can play with trucks." "You will learn your A,B,C's." "You can paint and color." "Your teacher will be my friend too." "I will go to work and then I will come back to pick you up."
