You can ask for phone numbers of other parents and school staff to make a few phone calls before school starts. Organize a meeting with their children. This will contribute greatly to the confidence of your child .

*. Give your child a chance to communicate. Social skills play important role in the adaptation of your child in the new environment. If your child attended kindergarten or other pre-school institution, he or she probably will not have problems getting along with people. But if he or she has no such experience you should try to organize it. You can take your child in summer camps or play groups to develop their social skills.
*. Familiarize your child with school (kindergarten) routine. If you have the opportunity to visit the school in advance to try to explain all the rules of the school. Accent that nobody is allowed to fight, the teacher is the main hearing, toys are for everyone and not talk during class. You can also involve teachers in your explanation.
*. Your child must have the self-care habits. It will be much easier for you and your child get used to school. Children age 6-7 years have to dress themselves.


*. Try to set your child's mind at rest. Explain that there is nothing to fear. Ask him what are the main questions he or she would get answers. You must ensure your child there is nothing to worry about, especially if your child asks questions like how many times he or she will be able to use the bathroom or what bus to take after school.
*. Help your child to pack all the things in the briefcase the night before the first day of class. It will be useful to write the name of your child on the back of the bag and lunch bag, etc. Explain the purpose of each element to your child so he or she will be able to pack the satchel by his own.
*. Before school starts checkup for your child. Health check should include vision and hearing screening. Very often, students have problems in school due to health problem. Also all the necessary vaccinations should be given to your child before school.
