6. Talk about first week of pins and needles.

 Reassure your child that being nervous is natural even for teachers. You can help your child cope with his feelings when you:

• Let them express their fears. Perhaps you can offer stories of your own first-day jitters when you were a child.
• Teach them to breathe deeply and slowly in order to calm their nerves.
• Discuss the scenarios that worry them. For example, if they are worried about who to sit with or talk to on the first day, assist the to plan a strategy and rehearse it so they will know what  to do.
• make sure that your child is familiar with the school environment and explain to him or her that its ok to be afraid of the school environment if its new, explain the importance of making two to three new friends as making new friends will help the child to cope with the new environment .
