8 Tips to Help Your Child Sit Calmly at School
Develop a Regular Schedule at Home: Early night routines and morning preparations prepare your child's mind and body for school hours.
Provide a Healthy Breakfast: A healthy breakfast energizes the brain and body, enabling your child to remain alert and prevent restlessness.
Perform Sitting at Home: Begin with 10–15 minutes of sitting activity (drawing, reading) and extend the time to develop sitting endurance.
Implement Positive Reinforcement: Reward your child with praise when they exhibit good behaviour in class or wait patiently. Rewards stimulate the repetition of positive behaviour.
Send Comforting Familiar Objects: A favourite toy, water bottle, or lunchbox can provide emotional reassurance during school hours.
Speak of School Positively: Make school sound fun and exciting when talking about it. Avoid being worried or stressed about school matters.
Stay Connected to Teachers: Collaborate with teachers to find triggers or discomfort and come up with collective strategies for improved adaptation.
Be Patient and Encouraging: Children adapt slowly. Remain calm, encouraging, and persistent even if adaptation is slow initially.
