The first day of school is just about two weeks away, and for a lot of junior kindergarten kids, it’s the first day ever. But early childhood education expert, Jane Paul, from EarlyON says there’s still time to get these first-time students ready. She says the first days of school are about so much more than academics.
She says that will keep their stress down and raise their comfort level so their young brains and bodies can take in all that they’re doing. Paul also says practicing simple skills with your kids will help reduce their first-day stressors.
Paul mentions it’s an ongoing process and you’ll have to keep practicing with your child for a few weeks so they can continue to get comfortable.
