Summer is already almost over and back to school is just around the corner. The least we can say is that since the beginning of the pandemic, parents don't know how to prepare their children for school. No need to panic, Kidlee is here! And we've prepared a list of tips for a great start to the 2021 school year.
Always keep in mind the barrier gestures
Even if the hardest part is behind us, we must not forget the preventive measures. Here is a small reminder of the latter:
- Wash your hands very regularly
- Cough or sneeze into your elbow or into a tissue
- Use a single-use tissue and dispose of it
- Greeting without shaking hands, stop hugging
- Avoid touching your face, especially your nose and mouth
Get into a routine for back-to-school 2021
Yes, it's almost time for the return of the early wake-up call. And early waking means early sleeping. So, one week before school starts, maybe even two, start trying to regulate your child's sleep schedule. We advance by 10/15 minutes the sleep each evening and it is the same for the hour of the alarm clock. And this until you reach your desired wake-up time and have a complete routine. With a few days to go before school starts, try not to make any exceptions to maintain this balance.

Goodbye to the vacation notebooks, hello to the books that talk about the new school year
A few weeks ago, we told you about the top vacation notebooks to shop. So, we hope that you have found your happiness and that of your child! Now that school is starting, it's time to hide the vacation notebooks and let your child enjoy the last moments of vacation. However, you can start introducing back-to-school reading. In fact, here is a top 7 books to prepare for back to school. It is always more reassuring for the child to have an idea about this event that is the beginning of the school year than to remain in the blur of the unknown.
Don't forget the supplies for the start of the 2021 school year
Waiting for the beginning of the school year to buy everything? That's a big no because you might find the shelves empty. Besides, the world belongs to those who plan ahead. And don't forget to involve your child in choosing supplies, not necessarily all of them, but at least some. Speaking of supplies, you can also check out our article on the best deals not to be missed.
The start of the 2021 school year, we talk about it with enthusiasm
Don't hesitate to talk to your child regularly about the school if it's his or her first year. You may even be able to go and visit the school during the open house. Tell your child how much fun it will be because he will meet other children and he will learn a lot of new things and do a lot of activities. So, as you can see, we don't miss an opportunity to reassure the child when we talk about school. Moreover, don't hesitate to prepare with your child his outfit for the first day of school because it's not a day like any other! And don't forget to slip a comforting object into his backpack, so that if he ever needs reassurance, he will have recourse to it.
And if not, don't you need a babysitter?
At Kidlee, we believe that it is important for children to be happy during their daycare hours. That's why we support our super babysitters through various workshops, trainings and playful contents. So that they can offer the best support to their turn during their smart-babysitting.
