2. Prepare for Kindergarten
Starting Kindergarten is an exciting adventure for children and their families. But beginning something new can also cause big feelings. Your child might be excited, nervous, scared, curious, or even shy.
Some strategies that help prepare you and your child include…
- Talk with your child about their feelings
- Recognize your own feelings around this milestone and share them with friends and family
- Attend the “Welcome to Kindergarten” opportunities at your child’s school
- Visit the school and the playground
- If your child takes the bus, attend the OSTA orientation day
