We have been speaking to him about going to summer camp and leaving his baby sitter . He has been going there since he was 10months old , it is a transition for her also. We have been speaking to her also.He has had a chance to develop a relationship with his care giver . It is now time for him to be in a new space. We have been preparing him also in a few ways:
Have him walk up/down steps
Learn to ask for help when he is frustrated
Communicate his thoughts
Knows how to wash his hands
Knows how to eat with utencils
Knows how to dress himself
Knows how to play alone/with other children
Appreciates diversity
Knows how to hold hand when walking
Being able to cooperate somewhat
Knows how to listen/follow directions
Is able to focus for for a period of time his age
Can mark wihr crrayons
Is able to kick/catch a ball
These are just a few of the important skills your child needs to have before they enter pre-school.
It is very important that you explain what will happen next to avoid conflicts.
He will be starting summer camp today.
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
