Successful Tips to Prepare for Little Sprouts
1. Practice potty training at home with your student. Use positive reinforcement to encourage using the restroom. Be consistent.
2. To help ease separation anxiety /stresses practice leaving your student with another parent, family member, or babysitter for a short period of time. As it becomes routine, increase the amount of time, eventually to the amount of time your student will stay at school.
3. Talk about the upcoming day as you drive to class. Get them ready and prepared to say goodbye at the door. Do not seem hesitant or use words like "I will miss you." If you show confidence they will be more confident and be brave.
