]]> Kindergarten is just as tough for parents as it is for children. For the child, it’s hard to go from playing all day to a structured learning environment, and it pulls at a parent’s heartstrings to realize that their little baby is growing up.

These tips will help make the transition smoother.

Let Go

Dropping your child off at school will be a battle. Your child may cry. There may be tantrums. Although it makes you feel better, soothing your child is the worst thing you can do. It only makes the separation harder. Even if your child is upset, drop him or her off and leave. The teacher knows how to handle things.

 

Avoid This Question

If you really want to know what your child does at school, don’t ask directly. Questions like “What did you do at school today?” don’t work. With an open line of communication, your child will share important events with you, but children tend to clam up when asked direct questions. This doesn’t mean your child is growing distant. It simply means that they don’t want to rehash the school day.

With a parent like you, Kindergarten will rock!

]]> Teachers are often frustrated by how parents communicate with them over their children’s progress in school. Here are three tips that veteran teachers shared to help you get better results if your child is struggling.

Build A Relationship With Your Child’s Teachers

You can’t know if something is up unless you’ve been told about it.

Too many times, parents don’t talk to teachers, who – in turn – don’t have time to hunt down parents to discuss problems.

It’s best if you check in with your child’s teacher on a regular basis. Consider e-mail as it leaves a paper trail and will allow the teacher to get back to you when they have a minute.

Consider What’s Going On At Home

Teachers say that a lack of routine at home, or worse, children spending too much time staring at a screen, can interrupt a child’s attention in school.

Parents can help by developing structure and keeping screen time to a minimum.

Be Realistic About What Your Child Can Get From School

Teachers will help your child as much as they can, but there are limits.

The American school system is not very flexible and personal attention is not always possible. Classes are large and reinforement of concepts at home will help retention.

Your child’s educators want you to know that people grow and develop at different rates. Your child will become an amazing person and you need to give them time to do so. Don’t rush things, it won’t make anyone any happier.
