At Bop Till You Drop, building children’s confidence and ensuring they are happy is at the core of everything we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we found this article on Beyond Blue about Tackling back-to-school anxiety, we just had to share it with our wonderful parents and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some great tips if your little one is starting school for the first time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Have a few \u2018dry runs\u2019 of the trip to and from school so your child is familiar with the route and what to expect.<\/li>
  2. Set up some playdates in the holidays with local kids who are also starting school so they see some familiar faces on day one. <\/li>
  3. Visit the school \u2013 check out the playground, find their classroom and have a wander round so they can get used to where things are. <\/li>
  4. Invent a fun routine to make saying goodbye a bit easier \u2013 try a high-five, bear hug or secret handshake. <\/li>
  5. Talk positively about the day ahead on the way to school and remind your child where you\u2019ll be at pick-up time.<\/li>
  6. Drawn-out goodbyes can be upsetting, especially if other kids are getting emotional. Once your child is settled in their classroom, give them some final positive reassurance and beat a hasty retreat. <\/li>
  7. Try to limit other activities during the first few weeks \u2013 the transition to school can be tiring and kids need down time. <\/li>
  8. Schedule a family celebration or a Skype call from grandparents on the weekend to mark the milestone \u2013 after all, starting school is a pretty big deal! <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
