How to prepare a child for the beginning of the school year

The beginning of the school year is a troublesome time for both parents and the student himself. It is necessary to prepare for this event in advance in order to avoid further fuss and not spoil the child’s impression of the holiday.

Preparation for the new school year should begin about a month before September: in late July - early August. At this time, numerous school goods fairs usually begin to work, and you need to have time to get everything you need while special discounts are in place, and there are a sufficient number of necessary things in the assortment.

Get a new school uniform. Over a year or even over the summer, children can grow up very much, so new things can not be done. Let the child try on a new suit, take a few steps in it. Let him move his arms and legs so that you can make sure that you have chosen the right size. Choose comfortable shoes for every day. Do not forget to buy a new tracksuit if the old one is no longer suitable in size or very worn out.

At the end of each school year, you should ask the child or find out at school what textbooks will be needed next year. Usually class teachers report this at the final parent meeting and pass lists with the exact title of the books, authors and year of issue. Also, do not forget to ask the teacher in what subjects you will need to start notebooks, how they should be lined, and what page size will be optimal. Ask what stationery is needed. All this will help in the future to acquire the necessary things in advance.

Make sure your child is psychologically ready for the start of the school year. During the summer, the regimen of children's day changes greatly. During August, it is better to ensure that the child gradually learns to go to bed and get up in the morning earlier. In addition, a new nutritional schedule should be drawn up. Each morning, the child should start with breakfast, and he should have lunch at about the same time as at school. Also, arrange in advance with the student what time he will prepare his lessons and what time to walk or play sports.
