When I was a teenager, I earned great grades in school, played an instrument in the school band, and played a sport. I was never afraid to learn new things and was always eager to tackle all of the challenges that came with the learning experience. However, that all changed when I was finally the legal driving age in my state. I was terrified of driving and convinced that I would fail miserably at it! The feeling took me by surprise, but after some soul-searching and supportive advice from family, I finally got up the nerve to get behind the wheel. The "rest is history," as they say, and I soon actually became a great driver. I now have children and always tell them they can learn anything they put their minds too. I decided to start a blog to share my educational tips and help inspire others to learn!

You Can Learn Anything You Put Your Mind To
Help Your Young Child Adjust To Attending Preschool For The First Time
Logan Ryan
If your child will be attending a private preschool this fall and you are concerned about how they will handle being in a setting without you that requires them to interact with others, helping your preschooler adjust can be accomplished by following the guidelines below.
Visit The Preschool And Meet With The Owner
Contact the owner of the preschool and set up a time for you and your offspring to visit the preschool. If you opt to visit the school during a time that the failicty is not open, your child may not feel overwhelmed by experiencing a lot of commotion as children and staff members are going about their normal routines. Instead, you and your child can sit down with the owner and discuss the school and the activities that are offered.
After sitting down and discussing the preschool, ask the owner if you and your child can walk around the facilitiy so that your preschooler can look at some of the toys, books, and interactive learning materials that are inside of each classroom. If your child is interested in the new surroundings, make arrangements to visit the school at other times and consider visiting the school while children are present so that your child can meet some of their new classmates.
Sign Up For Social Activities With Other Moms And Children
Visit a local community center, church, or library and ask for a schedule of activities that are going to be held in the near future. Organizations may offer family picnics, recreational activities, reading groups, or another type of activity that will help your child grow accustomed to spending time with other children that are their age. While participating in a social activity, you and your child will strengthen your bond with one another and you will have the opportunity to make friends with parents who live in your community.
Start The School Year Off Slowly With A Reduced Schedule
To prevent your child from feeling as if you have abandoned them when it is time for them to attend the preschool, speak with your child's teacher about scheduling options. Many preschools will work with parents to allow them to create a schedule that both they and their children are comfortable with. Consider bringing your child to the preschool, like Advantage Learning Center, a couple times each week or for morning or afternoon sessions. Once your preschooler has gotten used to attending the facility, they may be interested in spending an increased amount of time at the school.
