Your Child and School Transitions

July 7, 2021

“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.” —Chinese Proverb

It is almost that time of year again, “Back-to-School” preparation, excitement and first day jitters! Preparing children for back to school, or transitioning from preschool to kindergarten, includes helping them prepare both mentally and physically for the school year ahead.

Kids may have a tough time making the school transition. To help with a successful transition back to school it is suggested that you pay attention to and discuss with your child sleep schedules, daily routines and nutrition in the weeks leading up to the change. This upcoming school year will present a unique journey, learning the new normal after a pandemic. Read the following resources to help ease into the new school year:

  • Consider these strategies for helping with a smooth transition back to school from Child Mind Institute
  • If your child has anxiety around returning to school after the pandemic, read these ideas from Cincinnati Children’s
  • Connect with your child and talk with them about how they feel about the transition to school using these tips from Joining Forces for Children

Learn Through Play Daily Activities: July

Help children learn through play by using one of the following age-specific monthly calendars that feature daily activities.

  • Learn Through Play Calendar: Infant
  • Learn Through Play Calendar: Toddler
