I remember when my son was starting school for the first time he had only been speaking for a year and a half so social situations really weren't his thing. You can read here why he didn't talk till he was 3 1/2.
To get him ready for school we had been dressing him for nursery in a very similar colour uniform to the school he was going to. And made sure he had a special bag that was his school bag.
So being the organised parent that I was I had bought his school uniform over the year so there was no panic when it came to the first day.
I thought I would get him into the habit of putting on his uniform himself no small feat for a child that had encountered so many medical problems early in life.So I told him :
" Can you please go put on your Uniform please ?"
He nodded as he was only really talking when he had to because of his speech delay.
He came down holding his new Unicorn.
"No Darling your Uniform not your New Unicorn!:
We eventually got there ..
So all those starting school soon it is daunting but its a life journey and they will get there.
