Tips to make your child miss and fall in love with school

 
         
 Watching kids playing in garden, with a sip of tea in evening hours, with a breeze of pleasant wind took me in my childhood days. My school time, play time, home work , friends, TV time with so many dos and don'ts.

Do you remember your school days ........ Those days still refresh me. And brings smile on my face, even the scoldings and failures are like precious memories.


Seeing me smiling a voice knocked me, Mom why you smiling? It was my 4 years old daughter. I came out from my memories. I said just like that but why are you here ? She sat beside me and sadly responded that her friend has confirmed its their school going to open from next week. And she doesn't want to go. She loves being at home watching TV and playing with friends. Don't send me school... Please... !!!!!

I remember my mom scolding on such behavior of refusing to going for school. Many parents do this which is easy and to the point but such direct forcefull replies can make your child to nob for yes but can not bring a feel of going to school with will and wish of enjoying those school time.

I hugged her and said OK so you are not missing your school friends, got reply yes am missing them.

So we are not going for shopping of school barbie bag, barbie bottle, barbie and stationery. She got excited, off course I want all those barbie school items.

Hmm, Alright then you don't want to get stars from your teacher for the good work that you have done in homework. I want mom, the daughter replied.

Okkkk and what mom will do to the chips and juices which mom bring for you on your return from school. Mom I will have them all.

If I go to school then I will have all those things, right mom. Yeah, sure.

This is a small moment that I have shared with you which all parents must have been facing. No kids want to go to school after long vacations. We too were like them in our childhood, ask our mothers. :)


We love to be lazy and be in our cozy environment. Its all natural and they are kids only. So don't expect them to be logical and mature which we were also not at their age.

All we can do is to bring them out from their laziness by showing them really kiddish funny reasons which they can understand in their own ways....

++ Go for school related stuff shopping, no mafter if your child already has everything.
++ Ask them to contact their school buddies, so that they may feel to meet them personally.
++ Keep on asking about their school time happy moments to make them feel that they are waiting for you again to come.
++ Keep telling them about the good scores/achievements and the feeling they had during that moment.
++ Share your school days fun time with them.
++ Tell them the story of the guy who did not go to school and missed so much fun and studies.
++ Via stories make them to understand the importance of studies.
++ Use their cartoon characters to make them understand the right and wrong.
++ Involve them in taking decisions related to books and school by asking them for suggestions.
++ Encourage them to feel morning time by telling the beauty of morning rays and morning fresh air. To bring them back to routine.

We can make them to love their school which they will cherish always in their memories as some of the best days of their life.

  3. Sure will have a blog on this issue too. But limiting down afternoon sleep to 1 to 1.5 hour between 2 pm to 4 pm. And then taking out in evening for at least 1 hour for physical activities like playing with ball, running with friends, cyckling etc will for sure help you in taking them to bed and make them asleep early. Kids have too much energy to explore so we need to give them enough environment to use that energy and get tired by slersleep time.
