Consejo para prepararse para la escuela: Practiquen su rutina matutina. Antes de que empiecen las clases, despierta a tu hijo a la misma hora todos los días y sigan juntos una rutina sencilla: vestirse, desayunar, cepillarse los dientes y salir. Practicar elimina el factor sorpresa y ayuda a que tu hijo se sienta seguro y con el control de la situación. Prueba a leer *The Night Before Preschool* (La noche antes del preescolar), de Natasha Wing, a la hora de dormir durante esas semanas de práctica; así, todo el proceso se convierte en una aventura.#randolphkids ...

School prep tip: Practice your morning routine. Before school begins, wake your child at the same time each day and move through a simple routine together. Get dressed. Eat breakfast. Brush teeth. Go. Practicing takes away the surprise and helps your child feel in control. Try reading The Night Before Preschool by Natasha Wing at bedtime during those practice weeks — it makes the whole thing feel like an adventure.#randolphkids ...

Un consejo para las familias que comienzan en NC Pre-K: hablen sobre cómo será la escuela. Los niños se sienten más seguros cuando saben qué esperar. Cuéntenles que habrá un maestro, otros niños con quienes jugar, libros y tiempo para moverse y aprender. Mantengan la conversación en un tono alegre y permitan que hagan preguntas. Acompañen esta charla con la lectura de *The Kissing Hand* (El beso en la mano) de Audrey Penn; la historia de un pequeño mapache nervioso por ir a la escuela que descubre el secreto de su madre para sentirse amado durante todo el día.#randolphkids ...

Tip for families starting NC Pre-K: Talk about what school will be like. Children feel more confident when they know what to expect. Tell them there will be a teacher, other kids to play with, books, and time to move and learn. Keep it light. Let them ask questions. Pair this conversation with The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn — a little raccoon nervous about school who discovers his mother's secret for feeling loved all day long.#randolphkids ...
