FIRST SCHOOL CAN BE FRIGHTENING

The school will start again and your son/daughter will start their first school. Maybe your children are happy to hear that they will go to school - as many children do - but the first school can be very frightening. Actually, not children who are afraid to go to school, but usually parents do.

Many parents asked the same questions to teachers, counselors or friends who have children at the same school. It doesn't mean that the parents do not understand about the questions itself, but it is just because they worry so much about their children. 

Mostly, parents afraid that their children will cry in their first school days. They are afraid if their children cannot stand still and mess around and so on and so on. 

Worrying things that don't exist is useless. So, why don't we prepare our children to make sure that they are not making us worry when they go to school. Hopefully these tips will help you to solve your " school frightening problems"
