• “May I please…”
• Providing opportunities for your child to share and take
turns during playtime with other children.
• Teaching them coping mechanisms (e.g. deep breaths,
quiet corner, stop-think-do) to enable them to manage
their emotions.
NURTURING POSITIVE LEARNING ATTITUDE
Developing the right learning attitude in your child will help them to transit
smoothly into the learning routines in primary school.
You can encourage your child to:
• Ask questions about their experiences and the
world around them.
• Express their thoughts and feelings about and
discuss what can be done if they have worries.
• Practice life skills independently (e.g. buy food
and drink on their own, ask for permission etc).
CREATING A CONDUSIVE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT AT HOME
Set up a conducive home environment so that your child can learn both at
home and in school:
• Encourage your child to learn English and
their Mother Tongue, through picture books,
language games or songs.
• Set aside space in your home where your
child can read and finish their homework.
