How to master the challenges of the first day at school<\/h2>\n

School enrolment marks the beginning of an important new stage with many changes in a child’s life. Your child gets to know a new environment and makes new friends. For parents, too, the daily rhythm is changing and new tasks and challenges are being added. There are a few tips to motivate your child and to ensure that the changeover to everyday school life works with ease.<\/p>\n

Before the great day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only the kindergarten teachers have the task of preparing the future first graders for everyday school life. The parents also contribute to making the changeover for the child as uncomplicated as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

Practicing the way to school<\/h2>\n

Parents should start practicing the way to school with their kids. The way to school usually is way longer than the way to the kindergarten and often involves new challenges, such as crossing a large crossroads. Parents should repeatedly draw attention to the potential dangers, sensitize their child to them and practice the correct behaviour on the way to school. Children should be able to go to school and come back home on their own – even before the first day of school starts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

Parents should pay attention to these points when practicing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Practice the way to school again and again, 1-2 times is not enough<\/li>\n
  • Choosing the least dangerous route to school<\/li>\n
  • Due to their low height, children still have no overview of road traffic<\/li>\n
  • Children are quickly overlooked by other traffic participants<\/li>\n
  • Clearly communicated rules help the child to move in traffic as safely as possible<\/li>\n
  • Discuss unexpected situations on the way to school, such as discovering classmates across the street or a ball, which is rolling into the street<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Tips for the autumn\/winter season:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Eye-catching clothes (reflective stripes, bright\/coloured clothing or warning vests) in the autumn and winter months, so that the child can be seen by other road users in fog and darkness<\/li>\n
    • The school bag should also be equipped with reflectors and an orange or yellow warning surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

      Project notinsel –\u00a0moll supports children on their way to school<\/h2>\n

      So that children do not get lost on their (school) way, the H\u00e4nsel + Gretel Foundation<\/em> has created the sign \u201cNotinsel<\/em>\u201d that offers children safe places of refuge. Around 19,000 shops at 228 locations throughout Germany bear the “Notinsel<\/em>” symbol on their doors, which signals to the children that “Where we are, you are safe”.<\/p>\n

      Germany’s largest child protection project in public space offers children protection in acute situations of danger and encourages people and act and to not look away. Especially in a society where danger and violence also lurk on the playground, at school or on the way home; where violence from bigger to smaller children, discrimination against the weaker, mobile phone theft and bullying have become part of everyday life, Notinsel<\/em> offers a safe place for children. Moll supports this project – especially the youngest of our society are to be protected. You can find more information here<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n
