Leaving home to head into school is a scary task for many children. Being required to participate, without the option of saying no thanks, can certainly generate anxiety. Going to a new place with lots of new faces takes courage. Start preparing your child now to activate the power within themself to handle this change.
Encourage your child to slip on their cape for an extra boost of bravery and practice telling their reflection:
I am brave.
I am smart.
I am likable.
I am kind.
I am capable.
I can do anything I put my mind to.
Daily positive affirmations help build a strong foundation for a smooth transition into the classroom.
