Sometimes we fall on the playground and get dirty. Let your child wear sensible shoes. Do not allow the child to bring toys to school unless the teacher makes a request. Do not allow the child to bring food, candy, or gum to the classroom. The most important way parents can help their children make a successful adjustment in school is by giving love and making the child feel secure.
Home needs to be a place of security and comfort, where the child feels loved and wanted.
Rarely does a child who is happy at home fail to get along at school. Talk about school as a happy place. Parents and children need to feel that preschool is an important place. When a talkative period comes, take time to listen to the special experiences and discuss them with real interest. Know your child's teacher.
