There are a certain number of things you need to do before you send your child to nursery Petersfield so that the child feels safe and at ease in the new environment. The same preparation also applies to the parents because some feel lonely whenever they send their kids to nursery school Petersfield. Here is what you should do.
Children grow fast and time flies. Your baby is finally of school-going age and it is that time to let him or her go and start learning new things in life. Naturally, your child will be worried and anxious about leaving home for a longer period of time for the first time without you; this is a completely normal thing and everyone in the family needs time to get used to it.
Try to present this new phase in the child’s life as a fun adventure and something to look forward to. Talk to your kid about how you also did the same thing when you were their age. Find interesting stories from your childhood to make the child feel like this is a normal and fun thing to do. Ask your child if he or she is worried about nursery school Petersfield and understand the fears. Like for example if they are wondering how will they make new friends, or what sort of food will they be having or will they be able to take their favorite toys.
Prepare your child for the new environment by teaching them some basic skills they will need to have. Unbuttoning their pants and fastening their belt so they can go to the bathroom by themselves and teaching them how to tie their shoelaces. Packing their backpack with all the stuff they will need every day and going to the mall to choose their new lunch box and then making it together the next morning and packing it. You can make a game out of it - it is always easier to teach your child something if they are having fun in the learning process.
If your child has any health issues prepare all the needed medication and contact the nursery Petersfield health professional and inform them about that. Explain to your child how they will go to school every morning and how they will be returning home every afternoon. You can plan a visit to the nursery a couple of weeks before so the child knows where they will be spending a large portion of their day and that the nursery doesn't intimidate them on the first day.
Label your child's things either with a permanent marker, or if you have the time and skills necessary you can even embroider the name. Ask your child there is any questions and keep a positive and open tone. Tell them how much fun they will have learning new and exciting things and meeting other children. If you are excited about it your child will be as well. If some things have slipped your mind there is always time to work on them after your child has started nursery. Improvement can be made every day.
