Tips for Parents to Better Prepare Kids for School
The new academic year begins today and many parents are running helter skelter in an attempt to get their children ready for school. I have decided to list a few things parents could do to help their children get a brilliant start. For those who've not heard yet, I have now published a book on raising brilliant kids and it is available to anyone.
1) By now, you should have prepared your children's wardrobe, study area and room ready for studies. Get their uniforms, shoes, books, pens, pencils, study table, bag, water bottle, lunch pack, and all that's needed for the first day at school. Organise everything and get them a shave or a superb plait so that they would appear super neat and cute on the first day and for the rest of the term days. Appearing neat at school could boost self-confidence for some children.
2) Think ahead by checking out your children's study curriculum. If you can, start working ahead of the class. Some parents complete their children's curriculum before school starts and in that way, their kids are prepped for whatever topic is introduced. Although holidays are for relaxation, it is also a convenient time to engage with the next class curriculum at a slow rate. Your interest in your children's education is proof that you value education and children would often work hard to make their parents happy with a good performance. For those of you in the UK, the BBC children's website has the curriculum for each year and for those of you outside the UK, please search your child's school and find the curriculum online. If it's not there, get proactive and ask the school to do something.
3) Tell them what to expect at school. School is a place where people from varied backgrounds converge and some have big personalities so much so that they may appear to bully others. It is imperative for you as a parent to engage with conversations on the expectations at school-some students would be receptive and others not so. They should expect love and hate, but should be friends with those who demonstrate interest in them. The basic tenet for me is respect for all, but choose friends wisely...
4) Draw/design a timetable for every child.
4) Tell them how to behave in class; to pay attention to the teacher, participate by answering and asking questions if they don't understand.
5)Tell them to master patterns because life is mostly about identifying patterns and recreating them.
6) They should focus and avoid distractions.
7) Have fun during break.
8) Emphasise the need to wash hands after toilet use.
9) Tell them to volunteer to do things in class and to take positive lead roles.
10) Have fun at school and when they return, they should tell you about what happened.
11) Please, listen to their stories it furnishes their interest in school and improves child-parent communication.
12) Get them to do their homework, and read something else.
