5 Ways Parents Can Help their Kids Enjoy School
Kids are now back in school, and no one is more excited than the parents who love to see their children learn and grow. However, some children can experience uneasiness especially when they’re meeting new teachers and classmates.
As parents, you can manage your kids’ anxieties during this period with these five tips from Lamoiyan Corporation’s Licealiz in case your children are concerned when they go to school.
As summer break may have changed your child’s body clock, it’s best to help them adjust their sleeping schedule at least one week before the first day of school. Minimize their TV watching, gadget usage, or outdoor playtime and let them understand that they need to sleep early for school. That way, their body clock has started to adjust, which prevents them from having a hard time waking up especially if their class is in the morning.
First day of school with new classmates and teacher can be a little intimidating to your kids, so ensure to free your time to send them to school. Their anxiety in going to a different environment can be eased off if someone familiar is around.
One way to get your kid comfortable especially if they feel anxious on the first day of school is to encourage them to make new friends. According to a study by University of Virginia in 2017, making friends is critical for children to enjoy school and learning. Not only does it alleviate their back to school blues, but it also gives them better mental health in times of problems like social anxiety in the future.
It’s easier to go to school especially in the morning if your kids’ things are already set a night before. As a parent, it’s our duty help our children like ironing their uniform, checking their backpacks, or preparing their baon at least a night before. It also lessens the preparation time needed in the morning if the items are all set beforehand.
Schools may be the second home for our kids, but it does not mean they are free from common ailments when they’re away from the parents. Aside from keeping them healthy to prevent colds and flu from their classmates, there’s also a common problem occurring in schools you must watch out for – head lice infestation.
A medical check-up by the Department of Education Health and Nutrition of over 3 million public school students showed that 436,325 of them had pediculosis (head lice infestation), making it one of the leading health problems and causes of absenteeism in public schools in the country.
