Your child is now 3 years old and can start kindergarten! While happy, parents should not neglect to prepare their children for group life. Otherwise, when your child can't eat, can't dress, and doesn't want to be separated from his or her parents, he or she will only feel "miserable and unconfident" in kindergarten. Experts remind parents that before their children enter kindergarten, they should begin to make preparations in various aspects to help their children take the first step towards social life. "These preparations include preparation for self-care ability, psychological preparation and preparation of objects."

　　Make your child enjoy kindergarten

　　Psychological preparation for the child is mainly about making the child willing and enjoying kindergarten. Experts emphasise that a lot of preliminary work needs to be done to do this well, and parental help and guidance becomes very important, and can start from the following aspects.

　　Let your child know why he/she wants to go to kindergarten and give him/her positive guidance. For example, tell your child, "Go to kindergarten because you have grown up and need to go to school to learn." "Good children and smart children go to kindergarten." Never say, "You have to go to kindergarten, we are too busy to take care of you." Or scare the child by saying, "If you are not good, I will send you to kindergarten!" It is strange that the child is not afraid to go to kindergarten after hearing such words!

　　Tell your child interesting stories about your own kindergarten experience when you were a child. Parents are the most trustworthy and closest people to their children, and what they say and do will have a strong influence on their children without them even realising it. If you tell your child interesting stories about kindergarten when he was a child, he will also look forward to going to kindergarten.

　　Take your child to visit the kindergarten environment. This will allow your child to become familiar with the environment. The more familiarity you have, the better it will be for your child to adapt to the new environment, so that your child will not be reluctant to go to kindergarten due to unfamiliarity and fear.

　　Make preparations for kindergarten together with your child. This will strengthen your child's anticipation of going to kindergarten and make him feel that he is old enough to participate in deciding some of his own things.

　　Let your child learn to do his/her own thing

　　In kindergarten, children are generally asked to "do their own things", including washing their face, eating, getting dressed, putting on shoes and socks, going to the toilet, etc. If your child does not have a certain degree of self-care ability before entering kindergarten, and does not know how to do anything, it will not be conducive to your child adapting to the new environment of kindergarten.

　　Experts stressed that, because of a new environment, the child already feel strange, and even a little afraid, especially when he sees other children can do everything, but he can not do, he will have a sense of frustration, the stronger the frustration the more likely to produce withdrawal behaviour, and do not want to go back to kindergarten.
