So, what can you do as a parent to reduce stress and prepare your kids mentally for a day care in dubai?

1- Visit the daycare together

So when you give them the opportunity to process without the stress of having alot of people there, they’ll feel more relaxed on the first day.

2- Encourage them to make new friends

Kids will start building their confidence as well as social relationships in any dubai early childhood development center.

Kids love to connect with you and have similar experiences. So tell your little ones about your old days in the nursery and tell them about all the good times. Go for whatever stories you think will stimulate them is. Show them pictures and/or photographs if you have some.

5- Make getting-ready in the morning a fun activity

Children can be really grumpy in the morning which can make them less excited about going to the nursery. So make waking up in the morning and getting ready for a game. Who can put on their jackets the fastest ?

6- Practice and new routine

Decide on the time you need to wake your children up and what time they need to sleep at. Start with this new ritual a few weeks before so they get used to it and adjust.
