The First Day Of School For Many Kids

School has started and many kids in the United States have had a full day of school already. There are many obstacles that kids go through on the first day. They have to adjust to a new classroom, a new teacher and in some cases, a new school. Many little kids are all giggles and excited to start school. Many teenagers are not anxious to start school at all.

The difference in age groups and how each one feels about starting school is somewhat funny. As you grow older, you tend to want less of school and more of your free time and friends. The opposite happens as the school year moves on. The older kids are enjoying their new friends and school activities while the little ones are tired of school and do not want to go to school. They would rather do something else like play with their friends or play a video game.

Many parents around the world yesterday rejoiced when the first day of school started. Many have to wait until September 2 for school to start. Whatever the date is, parents seem to sit down in a chair and breathe a little easier for the first time in months. No kids to watch after. No screaming or fighting kids running around the house.

Aren't schools wonderful? How did you spend your first day while the kids were in school?

Kindergarten And The First Day Of School

Kindergarten can be the hardest day in a mother's life. Her baby is going to be gone from her side. Kids have the same feelings when it comes to entering kindergarten. It is a new experience and they need guidance to accept the classroom and the teacher. Most kindergarten teachers are the sweetest people. They understand what the child will go through being away form the parent.

The only thing you can do for a new kindergarten child is take them to the school open house and tell them all about what they will be doing. Make it fun and exciting for them. Do not cry or become emotional when you take your child to school. This is felt by the child and can cause some emotional good-byes. Make sure you prepare your child for the first day.

Plan weeks ahead of time. Talk about the teacher and the classroom. Ask them if they have any questions. Tell them about your first day in kindergarten. If you have older children, take that child to the classroom first so the kindergarten child can see how it is done. They need encouragement to be their own person.

Patients are always needed on the first day of school. No crying or emotions are needed.
