School is about to start, here are the preparation strategies for first-year freshmen

Dear parents, the school bell is about to ring, and the children are about to enter the first grade of primary school and start a new learning journey. This is an important moment in children\’s growth. As parents, we must help them be fully prepared so that they can successfully adapt to the new environment and learning life. Below is a comprehensive preparation guide for first-year freshmen, I hope it will be helpful to you! 1. Psychological preparation For children who have just graduated from kindergarten, the learning and lifestyle in primary school are very different. We must help children build their psychology in advance so that they can be full of expectations and yearning for primary school life. You can talk to your children more about the interesting aspects of primary school, such as meeting more new friends, learning more knowledge, participating in more activities, etc. You can also take your children to visit the school they will attend to familiarize them with the campus environment and reduce their sense of strangeness and fear. Tell your children about the daily behavioral norms of primary school students, such as going to school on time, observing classroom disciplines, respecting teachers and classmates, etc., so that children understand that they are about to become a primary school student and have corresponding responsibilities and obligations. 2. Preparation of school supplies 1. School bag: Choose a school bag that is suitable in size, light and comfortable. It is best to have multiple layers to make it easier for children to organize books and stationery. 2. Stationery box: A simple and practical stationery box is enough. Avoid styles that are too fancy or have complicated functions, so as not to distract the children. 3. Pencils: Prepare a few HB pencils, sharpen one end, and attach a pen cover to prevent the pen tip from breaking. 4. Eraser: Choose an eraser that is soft and can erase cleanly. 5. Ruler: Transparent plastic ruler, 15-20 cm long is appropriate. 6. Textbooks and homework books: Prepare corresponding textbooks and homework books according to school requirements. 7. Book covers: protect books and cultivate children’s habit of caring for books. 3. Preparation of daily necessities 1. Water cup: Choose a water cup with moderate capacity that can be sealed and water-proof, so that children can replenish water at any time at school. 2. Paper towels: Prepare a pack of paper towels for your child’s daily cleaning. 3. Cutlery (if needed): If the school provides lunch, prepare a set of cutlery for your child. 4. Habit cultivation 1. Work and rest habits: Adjust your child’s work and rest time in advance to ensure adequate sleep every day. Go to bed on time at night, get up on time in the morning, and develop a good biological clock. 2. Study habits: Arrange a certain amount of time every day for children to read, draw, write, etc., to cultivate their concentration and interest in learning. 3. Self-care ability: Teach children basic self-care abilities such as dressing themselves, tying shoelaces, packing school bags, etc., so that they can take care of themselves independently in school. 5. Home-school communication After the start of the school year, it is necessary to maintain close communication with teachers to understand the children\’s performance and learning situation at school. Actively participate in parent meetings and activities organized by the school, establish good relationships with teachers and other parents, and jointly create a good environment for the growth of children. 6. Safety Education 1. Traffic safety: Educate children to abide by traffic rules, watch the traffic lights and walk on the sidewalk when crossing the road. 2. Campus safety: Tell your children not to chase and fight in school, to keep to the right when going up and down stairs, and not to play dangerous games. 3. Self-protection: Let children remember their parents’ names, phone numbers and home addresses so they know how to ask for help when they are in danger. 7. Parents’ own preparation. As parents, we must also adjust our mentality and avoid being too anxious and nervous. Believe that children have the ability to adapt to new environments and provide them with adequate support and encouragement. At the same time, we must create a good family learning atmosphere for our children, lead by example, and accompany our children to grow together. Dear parents, let us work together to fully prepare our children for their first-grade journey. I believe that with our joint efforts, the children will be able to successfully adapt to primary school life and start a wonderful chapter of learning!
