Parents! Avoid These Mistakes When Preparing Your Child for School

According to a psychologist’s advice, the wrong approach to preparing for the new school year can negatively affect a child’s learning. Frightening remarks such as “The fun is over now” can make children anxious about school. Instead, focus on new friends and interesting subjects.

An abrupt switch to a school routine in a single day can be harmful. Adjust your child’s sleep schedule in advance, shifting it by 15–20 minutes each day to gradually align it with school hours.

Intensive studying just before September 1, with attempts to catch up on missed coursework in only a few weeks, can leave children exhausted and reduce their motivation to learn.

Helping your child understand that school and each new academic year represent another step in their development could be the key to their future success.
