Lunar New Year is considered a meaningful and memorable holiday for every Vietnamese person. This is the time when people temporarily put aside the chaos of daily work to spend time together having fun and relaxing. As for young children, they also get a break from school, get to wear new clothes, receive interesting Tet gifts and immerse themselves in a joyful atmosphere with many useful Tet activities.
However, after the Tet holidays, children will certainly have difficulty returning to their daily routine and often become distracted with their studies. So what do parents need to do to mentally prepare their children to go to school after the Tet holiday? Let's find out with Mykingdom in the following article.
Gradually adjust your daily routine
During the Tet holidays, most parents often let their children relax during their activities. Children sleep later and wake up later than usual, and meal times are also more irregular. So about 3-4 days before your child goes back to school, parents should adjust their child's time to the old rhythm, just adjusting 10-15 minutes each day is enough. This is one of the important psychological preparation steps for children to go to school after Tet that parents should not ignore.
Evoke stories about school
Parents can remind their children that the holiday is about to end around the time before going to bed. And don't forget to review memorable memories and interesting stories about friends, teachers, and school with your child when he or she goes to school. This is not only very helpful in mentally preparing children to go to school after Tet, but also creates excitement, making children feel that going to school is something worth looking forward to.
Prepare with your child to go back to school
One day before your child goes back to school, parents should help their child prepare the necessary items and put them in their backpack. Besides, parents can create small joys such as preparing lucky money envelopes, New Year greeting cards, teaching children to wish Tet or sending them to teachers and friends. Surely your child will be extremely excited to go to school to share with everyone.
In addition, parents should show a happy mood when talking about their child returning to school. Instead of saying "You have to go to school tomorrow", "I can't take a break anymore, I have to go to school", parents should say "Oh so I'm about to go to school", "I'm bored at home, I can go tomorrow". I've learned it, I'm so happy"...
At night before going to bed, parents should help their children set an alarm clock, reminding them about tomorrow's schedule such as what time to wake up, what to do after waking up, what time to go to school, when will parents come to pick them up... .
First day back to school
Parents, please wake your children up earlier than usual and welcome the new day with a happy and positive mood. Your baby will also have enough time to prepare mentally without having to rush or rush. On the way to school, parents should review the New Year's wishes with their children and suggest interesting activities for them when they meet teachers and friends again.
In particular, parents should not pick up their children too late on the first day they return to class. Because the child will feel disappointed because he spent the Tet holidays with his parents, but now he is separated for too long. Please pick your child up early so that his or her first day back to school is fun and meaningful.
