10. Enjoy the end of summer. Be sure to complete everything on your to do list so you'll be able to have plenty of great stories to tell once school begins.
9. Get in a routine. Kids are creatures of habit. It is very important to "practice" going to bed on time and waking up on time before school begins.
8. Take a trip to your school and visit you teacher(s). Getting a child familiar with there new surroundings will be very beneficial.
7. Go over their school schedule. Talk to you child about what they can expect day to day while at school.
6. Go school shopping! Who doesn't like shopping? This is a time of fun for all kids. A time for new clothes and school supplies that are sure to get them excited and in the mood for school!
5. Get a haircut. Why stop with new clothes? Throw in a haircut too. Get a fresh start with a new look.
4. Review what you child learned last school year. Go over old tests and worksheets. This will get your child's brain in learning mode. It will help jog their memory so they won't have to play catch-up while trying to remember what they learned last year, but will be able to move forward with new material.
3. Bring up positive experiences you had while in school and particularly in their grade. Avoid ALL negative stories and attitudes toward school... these will only lead to you child's anxiety!!!
2. Acquire a good attitude. Do everything within your power to help your child have a good outlook for the upcoming school year.
1. Pray! Begin praying now with your child for their class, teacher, and friends. Prayer is a great comfort for fearful kids. Try praying with them every morning before they leave for school as well. It boosts their confidence and helps them to remember that they are never alone!
