GeneralDear Parents,
Your child has just started his journey in kindergarten. He is still trying to explore the environment surrounding him, trying to find his way, testing his abilities in the new atmosphere and adjusting to the kindergarten’s rules and its schedule. Your child is trying to get used to being separated from you every morning and to making new friends.
He may often feel like Saffour – confused, hesitant and frustrated – and it is likely that we as parents are concerned and worried. But this experience is part of his emotional and social growing process; our role is to help him learn his abilities and skills and to teach him that these abilities keep growing so he can flourish.
