It is often likened to going out to the \u201creal\u201d world where class sizes are bigger, teachers are viewed to be less patient and very often your child is left to fend for him or herself. Our children, &nbsp;who used to be the biggest and oldest in the preschool, have become the new kid on the block overnight. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next year, it will be the second time I\u2019m sending my child off to primary school. I am filled with excitement and measured worry. I wonder how he would fare in the formal school system, if he would make good friends like how he has in the preschool. I wonder if the academic demands would get to him and if he would make good choices. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-1-380x507.jpg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-1-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-1-1160x1547.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-1.jpg 1247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My 6-year-old son has graduated from Little Seeds Preschool and is excited about entering Primary School next year!&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to my experience with my first child, I know what to expect and how to mentally prepare my K2 boy and equip him with skills to help him confidently transit to Primary 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 10 tips you can use in your daily routine with your soon to be P1 child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-involve-your-child-every-step-of-the-way\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Involve your child every step of the way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invite them to be part of purchasing their school bags, files, pencil cases, water bottles, books, shoes and uniform. Involve them in labelling their belongings with their names. You can talk to them about &nbsp;which subjects each books are for, and &nbsp;even &nbsp;start reading some of it with your child. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2-encourage-your-child-to-ask-for-help\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Encourage your child to ask for help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One cannot expect the same level of care your child receives in preschool in a primary school. Class sizes are bigger and teacher child ratio is 1:30. Hence is it important that children learn to be courageous to ask for help \u2014 whether it\u2019s because they\u2019re in trouble or simply unsure about something. &nbsp;I invite my boys to practise asking for utensils or sauces at restaurants and asking passers-by for directions. The point is to get them comfortable in asking their teachers for help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3-teach-them-to-tell-the-time\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Teach them to tell the time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can start with full hours and progress to half-hours, 15-minute blocks and finally minutes. This is an excellent chance to count by fives and learn multiplication at the same time! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4-teach-them-what-makes-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Teach them what makes $1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>K2 Children &nbsp;should know numbers from 1 to 10 very well \u2013 this includes number bonds where they know which 2 numbers make 10. This learning can be translated to number bonds that make up $1, e.g. 80c and 20c, 70c and 30c, etc. These skills would help come in handy at recess time. Rest assured though, that canteen uncles and aunties are not out to cheat our children. They are definitely a community that want our children to be successful during their favourite period of the school day &#8211; recess time!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-3-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5642\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spending quality time with my two boys<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"5-practice-daily-check-ins\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Practice daily check-ins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen without judgement when your child shares about his day. My older son shared he was afraid to buy noodle soup (even though he loves it very much) as he witnessed a child dropping a bowl on the floor. I took the chance to encourage him to buy other food items and try new foods every week. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things I have learnt is to hold my tongue and listen without judgement especially when he recounts the bad choices he or his friends have made &nbsp;\u2014 how you react will determine how much they tell you in the future. Try using responses like \u201cTell me more\u201d and \u201cI want to hear what you think about this\u201d. This way of responding fosters trust and &nbsp;helps &nbsp;break down the barrier for future sharing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"6-talk-about-school-positively\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Talk about school positively<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please do not seed fear in your child\u2019s heart. Always speak about school in a positive light! Sometimes, teachers can be strict because the class size is bigger and she needs to ensure that everyone learns and benefits. Your child should not be afraid if he orshe does what is expected of him. Homework is there to help them to learn and not give unnecessary stress. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"7-have-a-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Have a schedule &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before and after school schedules create a sense of predictability for our children. Involve your child in planning for this schedule. Continue to priortise play and outdoor time for children. They spend a lot of time in school being confined to the classroom, and there is a fair bit of screen time as teachers use interactive whiteboards and projectors to teach. Hence, children need to move and spend time outdoors to keep myopia and germs at bay. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-4-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-4-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-4-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-4-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-4-380x507.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-4-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-4-1160x1547.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-4.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Children learn and explore best in the outdoors&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"8-have-an-early-bedtime\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Have an early bedtime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has shown that it is optimal for 7-year-olds to have 9 to 11 hours of sleep at night. Please ensure your child sleeps early so he or she is ready for a full day of learning in school. You may fret over his late bedtime now, but not to worry. A habit takes 21 days to form. It is good to work his bedtime 15min earlier every night until you reach the optimal time for him to go to bed. Consistency is key! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"9-be-supportive\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Be supportive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, keep an open mind and open heart because everyone\u2019s primary school experience is different\u2014 what might be of concern for one child is hardly an issue for another. Always be supportive, try to celebrate small wins and support them, especially when they fall short. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be kind to yourself too, this is your first time parenting a primary school child so just go with the flow and don\u2019t be too hard on yourself or your child. If mistakes are made, learn from them and move on. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-1024x1536.png 1024w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-380x570.png 380w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-800x1200.png 800w, https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image.png 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"10-commit-to-god\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.
