In addition to the fact that parents need to pack a school bag and buy a school uniform, they also need to prepare their child for school.

Even if a child already knows how to read and has an idea of how to count, there are still a few important points.

Experts have explained what parents of first-graders should prepare for in the remaining month.

The most important thing

At this stage, it is necessary to form good associations with school in the child.

In this case, cartoons, reading stories about students and teachers, and stories from personal experience will help.

Even buying school supplies can increase a child's interest in a new stage in his life.

You can also show the school, class, and playground so that the first-grader feels more comfortable on September 1.

Desire to learn

Another important point is to tell your child about the importance of education.

Children need to understand why they go to school and how the knowledge they gain will be useful to them in the future.

They need to understand what responsibilities first-graders have, how their lifestyle will change, and what rules exist at school.

Emotional component

And with all this, parents need to try to remain calm so that their anxiety is not inadvertently transmitted to the child.

After all, it happens that on September 1st, moms and dads are more worried than first-graders.
