First days at Preschool – Do’s and Don’ts第一天上幼兒園家長幾做幾不做

The first days at Kindergarten can, for some parents and children, be a very stressful event. Based on our experiences  there are however a number of things that can be done to try and make those first days as easy as possible. We have compiled a list of do’s and don’ts that we hope are helpful.

第一天去幼兒園對于一部分家長和孩子都是很有壓力的事情?；谖覀兊慕涷灲o大家總結了幾點要做和幾點不要做的事情，希望能夠幫助到大家。

Do’s

要做的

positive preparation 積極的準備

Talk about school positively to your toddler. Emphasise the fun they will have, the interesting things they will do and the new friends they will make. Show your child photos of the school and the teacher and of course take them on a visit to the school.

盡可能的給你的孩子描述學校的一切，強調他們會做很多有趣的事情交很多新朋友進而獲得很多快樂。給孩子展示學校的照片并提前帶孩子去學校參觀一下，見一見老師。
 

build and maintain trust 建立信任感

Make sure you say goodbye and let them know that you will be coming back. Sneaking away doesn’t work and will be counterproductive.每次都和孩子道別，讓孩子知道你還會回來。偷偷溜走沒有任何作用，達不到預期效果。
 

Forming friendships 建立友情

Try and meet other parents and have playdates with children from the same class to help your child form some friendship groups outside of school hours.試著聯(lián)系同班級的其他家長，在課后帶著孩子和同學一起玩，進而讓孩子用玩伴。

Don’ts

不要做的

Don't give up too early 不要過早放棄

Try different approaches and be prepared to try other things and be guided by the teacher. Sometimes is does work if you step back from the process.在老師的指導下進行不同的途徑嘗試，很多時候如果你跟進進程確實有幫助。
 

Don't make school a negative experience 不要把學校塑造成消極的經歷

Don’t use school as a punishment or talk negatively about school.不要把上學作為懲罰手段或者說關于學校負面的事情。

Don't show your own anxiety 不要展示你自己的焦慮
 

The chances are your toddler will pick up on their parents’ anxiety. Parental anxiety is very normal especially if it is your first child and you have spent the last 2-3 years looking after them on a full-time basis. It will take you time to build trust with your child’s class teacher.

孩子會感受到家長的焦慮而緊張。家長焦慮很正常，尤其如果這是您的第一個孩子，您花費2-3年的時間全心全意的照顧孩子，確實您會需要一些時間去與孩子的老師建立信任。
 

Whatever your approach, I wish you good luck in your first days and weeks as your toddler settles into their new preschool. And if it takes a bit longer than you hoped for remember that each child is different but they do all settle in the end. A good parent teacher partnership is one of the most important success factors.

無論你如何著手，我都希望您可以在孩子新學校第一天順利安頓好。如果沒有你希望的那樣順利，你要記得每個孩子都是不同反應的，但最終所有的孩子都會安頓下來。良好的家長與教師合作關系也是最重要的成功因素之一。
