Billie Bratchett: poor baby.just let her know that she will make lots of new friends, she'll get to have lots of play time and activities and that learning is fun. let her know that her "job" will be to create projects to teach you when she gets home each day. - my son loves having a "job". LOL.good luck....Show more
Doreatha Kjellsen: As always with starting something new your daughter will probably feel insecure for maybe the first week or so. As she grows used to it, preschool can be a wonderful social and educational resource for your daughters future, so trust that you are making a good choice in sending her.I am the director of a daycare that offers a preschool program, 15 hours a week for our "School-year 3/4 year olds" and 20 hours a week for our "School-year 4/5 year olds." The week before our classes begin we have all of our non-daycare children who will be attending preschool come in with a parent to meet personally with myself and their assigned head te! acher. We also have a group day where all students come in with their parents to meet their classmates. Familiarizing the child with our rules and classrooms helps to ease the transition into entering preschool. Perhaps in your case if your preschool doesn't offer these things you could call and ask about your child going in to meet the teacher and see the classroom with you prior to the start of the program.As a parent another beneficial thing you could do would be to encourage excitement and enthusiasm about the program. Get your child excited to learn! Explain to her the general outline of what she will be doing throughout the day. Let her know she will read new books, get a chance to paint and color, sing songs with the class, etc. Looking forward to these activities will be good for your daughter. If she is still unsure after attending for a few days get excited about the things she is doing. If you can, talk to her about what she learned, did, discussed in school th! at day and let her know your proud of her accomplishments. Enc! ouraging her education might give her some reassurance. Maybe think of a new privilege to give her, since she is getting older, that she can do now because she is officially a preschooler. Make her feel that it is a special "big girl" thing to go to school.Good Luck!...Show more
Randa Hessell: Be excited about it. Emphasize that it is something that she "gets" to do now that she is older. Tell her how much fun she will have at school. Most schools will have a "meet the teacher" night where you can go and meet the teacher and look around the classroom. If they don't call the school and ask if you can come tour the school and see the classroom before the first day. And if you are emotional before she starts do not let her see that. If you tear up and cry when she goes to school she will not understand and that will make her more nervous about going....Show more
Jill Thomer: Hi Sabrina,First, half the problem is that the parents are scared too, and the kids pi! ckup on that. Second, learning to not be with you might be hard, but kids adapt quickly when they have other kids to play with. Third, it sounds like she may be the first born and had you all to herself. While it may be fun socialization might be an issue. So, here is something that might help. It is a movie that I found on Netflix, but you might find another source. It is called: My First Day at Preschool (2001). Check it out and see if you can get her excited about going. Regardless, when that day comes you are going to have to drop her off and not give into the tears and stuff. She will be fine in the long run, but the short run may be difficult regardless of how much you prepare.Good luck to you and her both....Show more
Wilfred Santacruce: incentive maybe? like buy her a doll or something every month.
Jesusita Dykhoff: Maybe explaining to her she will meet new friends. There will be all kind of new toys and "playtime" with her new friends. Get to ! learn neat stuff. She should be ready after summer time, try to prepare! her with being around more kids during the summer time and stuff.
Idell Mulliniks: tell her all the fun things that she will do and learn at preschool all the friends that she will make you read to her a book what to expect at preschool by heidi murkoff it's really good book for children going to preschool its answers al
Tory Clapper: Tell that if she wants to grow up to be smart like her mommy then she will have to go to school : )
