When our child
go to school on day one, they did not know anybody there. They will feel scared
and nervous and do not know what is going to happen. Our child will have some confident when they
make friends there. The parents must
give them some help in finding new friends.
Mostly all parents will take their child to the
classroom on the first day. If there is already another student sitting
next to them, introduce your child to
them . The school often put name tags on the desks or clip at the child’s pocket
so you can tell your child the name of the kid that sits beside them. Ask your
child to to repeat the kid’s name to see whether he can understand what you
said to them. If your child repeat it then
assist them to say hi to other kids and teach them how to introduce
themselves by telling their name.
The basic social skills is making new friends and the
skills can get better with practices. Help your child in developing this skills
not only at school but at other areas such as play lands and parks. Thus when
the time comes to make new friend at school, your child has overcome their
shyness in talking to someone whom is new to them.
If your child is really shy, help them to meet new
friends by telling other children what your child’s name is and asking for
theirs. Then you can introduce them each other and try to get your child to
say hello.
After your kids know how to find new friends and they
have get mixed with a few of them, allow them to play with their friends
outside the school. Plan for them to play playdates after school and take turns at
each house. The best time for their friends to come and play is during
weekends. Organize some few activities
for them so that they do not get bored during their stay at your house.
Making new business cards for our children is becoming
a trend with their name and phone number on it. With this, our kids can give it
to their friends that they would like to play with. This is really good for small children that
might not know their own phone number too.
