Here are some proactive ways to talk to your child about what to expect on their first day back to school:
  • Talk about who their new teacher is.
  • Talk about which of the same children will be in their class this year.
  • Show pictures of the new classroom or new school if applicable.
  • Look at fun pictures from school the previous year to reinforce positive memories.
  • Prepare together- pack a lunch, snack, and choose an outfit the day before.
  • Talk about the day's schedule, including what they will do when they get home from school.
