Starting school for the first time can be emotional for both children and parents. Experts say a calm, positive and supportive approach can help children adjust better to a new environment and reduce separation anxiety. According to Dr. Snehal Deshpande, simple steps like talking positively about school, practicing school routines, reading storybooks, spending quality time with children and staying calm during drop-offs can help kids feel more secure, confident and comfortable during their first school experience.
