That First Day
Mothers can help children over the often difficult hurdle of that first day in school by teaching them independence in seemingly trivial matters.
A child’s ability to give his full name and address and his father’s and mother’s names and occupation without assistance on the first day of school may seem like a small accomplishment, but it is one which may help him get started “oh the right foot.”
An equally small matter, but one that is important to the child, is the ability to put on his own wraps without assistance.
Children will benefit from being able to handle a handkerchief without adult help, carry out simple directions without repeated explanations from the persons who give them, and get along with children of their own age without depending on a grown-up to unscramble a squabble.
Your child will have enough problems to solve in the strange, new world of learning, letters, numbers, and words from the primer to force other problems on him that can be solved at home. Teach him all the independence and self-reliance you can at home before he tackles that most important day in his life: “The first day of school.”
