Starting school marks a significant milestone in the lives of your children and the entire family. It not only symbolizes the transition from kindergarten to elementary school, but also brings with it a multitude of changes for parents and children.
Changes for your child
New routine and responsibility: Starting school means a new daily routine. Your child now has to get up at specific times, get ready for school, do homework, and adjust to the school schedule. This promotes the development of a sense of responsibility and time management skills.
Social Interaction: At school, your children have the opportunity to meet a wider range of peers and form friendships. This promotes social skills such as sharing, communication, and conflict resolution.
Academic challenges: Academic demands increase as your children explore new subjects and learning content. This can be both exciting and challenging, as your child learns to acquire knowledge and expand their thinking.
Changes for you parents
Letting go and trusting: Starting school requires parents to let go of their children to some extent and trust them to find their way around school. This can be emotionally challenging for some parents, but it also marks the beginning of the process of preparing the child for independence.
Support in everyday school life: Parents must now actively participate in everyday school life. This means helping with homework, communicating with teachers and school, and ensuring that the child fulfills their school obligations.
Fostering interests: With the start of school, a child's new interests and talents often emerge. Parents have the responsibility to discover and encourage these interests, whether through extracurricular activities or shared hobbies.
Joint changes
Time management: For both parents and children, starting school requires better planning and organization of the daily routine. Time for school, homework, leisure, and family must be carefully balanced.
Stronger bond: Starting school can lead to parents and children being more intentional about making time for each other. Talking about the school day, sharing experiences, and supporting each other through challenges can strengthen the bond between parent and child.
Joint Growth: The school-entry phase offers the opportunity for joint growth. Parents and children learn from each other as they face new challenges and gain experiences.
