I know scared parents whose day starts with suspense. They are not sure what new tantrum their kid is going to come up with that morning.

1. Try finding out if there is any real problem-

Sit down with your child with a calm mind and talk it out. It is very important to find the reason behind his/her discomfort. If it is bullying, problem with a teacher etc then it need to be addresses immediately. Do take an appointment to meet the teachers and sort it. By doing this your child will trust you and move with more confidence as you are there for him.

2. Create Role Models-

Read to them stories of great personalities preferably Indian personalities so that they understand our culture and ethics. A strong base of our country, heritage and people will bring pride and confidence in your child .If you are a imaginative parent you can make up interesting stories of yourself going to school and reaching great heights.

3. Make home time Less interesting if they bucks school-

Never send you child to school even if they are slightly unwell as their condition might aggravate. Let them get adequate rest and cut down completely on screen-time and unplug Wi-Fi. Read them books and offer them only healthy food. If the school has been bunked for being unwell ask them to lie down and take rest majority of the time , this way if the kids is unwell she gets rest , if it is a tantrum to skip school they will get bored and prefer school rather than staying home.

4. Make time for some fun

As a parent I understand how less time you have in the mornings. But by just making ten minutes of your time to play a tickling / peek-a-boo/ hide and seek game can bring a smile on your child’s face. Setting a routine is good but gets monotonous, so add small fun elements to your routine to make life interesting. So by introducing these small fun exercises you will see that you have found a meaning in why you should also hit work happily, Dream ladder guarantee.

5. Encourage your child to talk for themselves-

You know what your child needs before they know it themselves, ex- hunger you offer food before they even know they are hungry. So, they get used to this and don’t feel the need to express. They get a shocker when they start school. One-on-one talks with your kid are crucial for tapping into a child’s intrinsic motivation, So tutor them to express themselves, likes/dislikes to their teachers and friends. Ask them questions which require detailing, like- how was your day today? What did you play with your friends?.

Do not intervene in thing which they can handle themselves. Always step back when they are handling their issues and butt in only when required and it is way too much for them to handle.

6. Appreciate your kids-

Kids what to please their parent. When appreciated they feel motivated and gives a boost to their self worth. Parents who praise their children for good behavior five times a day saw a boost in their kids’ well-being and a drop in hyperactivity and inattention

Too much praise of any sort can also be unhealthy.

Research has found that students who were lavished with praise were more cautious in their responses to questions, had less confidence in their answers, were less persistent in difficult assignments, and less willing to share their ideas.

But, be careful to praise only when you mean it, Praise them for the effort and growth rather than for the outcome. Your appreciation will help them feel a sense of belongingness and make them stand strong to face their world in school and outside.
