Children often feel more secure when they have a simple idea of what to expect. Thoughtful preparation can reduce uncertainty, but too much information or pressure can sometimes increase worry.
This caregiver guide offers practical ways to make school feel more familiar and manageable without expecting the child to feel completely ready.
Topics include:
• School visits and visual supports
• Practicing routines and transitions
• Preparing for transportation and drop-off
• Introducing changes gradually
• Making space for mixed emotions
The goal is not to explain every possible detail. It is to offer enough predictability to help the child feel supported while leaving room for flexibility.
