Kindergarten will be a time of many changes for your child. He or she will have to adjust to new teachers, new children, new schedules, and routines. Having a successful entry into kindergarten will help your child have a positive attitude about school and learning. To get your child ready for kindergarten, you should:
• Read books about starting kindergarten.
• Talk enthusiastically with your child about starting kindergarten.
• Reassure your child’s feelings of anxiety or fear.
• Plan for your child to visit his or her new school.
• Tell your child about the kinds of work he or she will be doing in kindergarten.
• Talk about and practice new routines.
• Spend extra time on the first day of school but do not “drag out” saying good-bye.
