Our top tips to help survive the transition into kindergarten.
1. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
Practice opening and closing the lunchbox, drink bottle, school bag. Our little monkeys will open and close these at least four times through the day (plus the extra million times showing their friends).
2. Drop off Is your monkey nervous about saying goodbye in the morning? Come up with a secret handshake or draw hearts on your hand and theirs to remind them you are thinking about them during the day. Even a simple kiss and drop is always a fave.
3. Pick up
Have food in the car ready - kindergarten is lots of work, the weather is hot, and our monkeys are EXHAUSTED. We don’t want a hangry monkey on our hands.
4. Don’t wait for the first day of school to wear school shoes or the uniform. Kinder is a BIG transition and we want our little monkeys to be as prepared as possible. Being prepared helps with their confidence.
ENJOY the next couple of weeks of school holidays. I promise kinder will be here before you know it!
