Some children are more ready for school than others are.

In this article, we will tell you what is important to consider when preparing psychologically for school.

How to prepare your child for school psychologically

First of all, by the age of 6–7 years, a child should already know some important information about himself.

For example, remember your first and last name, birthday, age.

Know the names of mom and dad, their professions, address and other basic information.

A child is psychologically ready for school if there is an interest in new knowledge, school paraphernalia, communication with other children, and a desire to write, read and draw.

If a child is withdrawn and unsure of himself, difficulties may arise with adaptation.

Be on the lookout, and, if anything happens, seek help from a psychologist.

To get your child ready for school, try to look at the positive aspects of learning.

For example, meeting new friends or taking new classes will help your child feel a little better.

A positive attitude leads to success because it gives you the motivation to succeed and creates space to thrive.
