By focusing on your childs emotional and social needs, School Start enables you to understand your childs brain development and how this impacts on their emotional intelligence.

Guidance is also given to help you cope with your own reactions to your child starting school. Its important for new school parents to be self-aware and in touch with their parenting values, as its all too easy to draw on baggage from your own school years when faced with problems your child might face.
With School Start to help you, youll be well equipped to offer the right advice and be the emotional support your child needsno matter what they encounter!

Starting big school can be, well, big. Its a huge deal for kids. There is a whole new environment to learn about and exist in. New buildings, new people, new routines, new schedules, new rules, and new expectationsnot to mention the new clothes, new shoes, new bags, lunchboxes and drink bottles, and books.
Not only is almost everything new, but generally there is a lot more of everything. A lot more people, a lot more rules, a lot more bells and other noises, a lot more focused school work, a lot more variety in terms of experiences, a lot more food choices at the canteen and perhaps a lot more variety in the personalities and behaviours of the people around them than theyve been used to.
On top of having more of everything and everything being new, everything is bigger. We can run through the same list: bigger buildings, bigger people, bigger clothes, bigger drink bottles, and in some cases, bigger personalities and behaviours to deal with. And of course a special mention needs to be made of the school bags. Often these look at least three sizes too big for the little bodies carrying them on their backs!
A fair number of items need to be carried in those bags. Things like a homework folder, library bag and books, lunchbox and drink bottle, jumper and raincoat. Also on the list (from my school at least) are spare underpants in case of emergencies. I love that spare undies make the list because it reinforces that when our kids start school they are still so young in so many respects. The fact that most of them wont need to use those spares attests to how far theyve come developmentally by the time they get to school, but having them there just in case reminds us how vulnerable they still are at this stage in their lives.
Even though by starting school they are taking a huge step forward in independence, they still need us. They need what theyve always needed from usfor us to listen to them, tune in to them as much as possible, and generally be mindful of their emotional needs and respond consistentlybut they also need some extra things. One of these is for us to remember that they will be coming across issues and situations they most likely wont have encountered in their little lives so far. And they will need a skill set to deal with these.
While the issues and situations they will come across are many and varied, the skills they will need to deal with them fall into just a few categories.
- Resilience is a big one. This refers to their ability to soldier on despite receiving a few knocks.
- Communication. This term covers quite a range of skills, but generally having a willingness to talk to and listen to people is helpful, as is a willingness to talk about anything that might be troubling them.
- Over time, developing some ways to identify their feelings and communicate them is useful.
- The ability to deal with conflict comes in handy.
- Social skills in order to mix socially and make friends are helpful.
- Flexibility and cooperation help them to cope with all the changes they come across when starting school, as well as with adjusting to new rules, schedules and routines.
Who teaches them these skills? Well, their teachers certainly contribute significantly, but its largely wetheir parents and caregiverswho teach them these things through our relationship with them. More specifically, we teach them through how we choose to interact with them, and how we choose to deal with the school issues and situations.
