Q: Ms. Figueroa this is the first time I am sending my child to school. I am very nervous and am not sure how to prepare her for the first week of school. Do you have any suggestions?
A: It is very common for students and parents to be nervous about going to school. Speaking to your daughter about school in a positive and fun light is very important in that it shows her you see school as important. Also by bring her to the classroom to see the environment before school starts is also a good option. When students who have a clear picture of where they are going and what activities they will be doing while away from their parents it give them more confidence.
