Parents Area Parental Tips
It always seemed so far away, but the time for your child to join regular school is finally just around the corner. The child has probably been going to a play school, for a while, but the shift from the small, safe environment of a play school to the hustle bustle of a big school can be daunting for a small child. Here are some useful tips for young parents.

Useful tips
  • Don't be late in picking your child up. A few late minutes can seem like a long time to a young child.
  • Always listen to your child patiently, do not ask too many questions as children only talk when they are at ease.
  • Be flexible in the early days of the school. Children may get tired and cranky for a while till they settle in. Do follow routines that allow time for rest and free play.
  • Do not plan too many after school activities or have too much to do on the way home.
