Set play dates for your child to spend time with other young children. Play dates will help the transition into being more social. By interacting with each other, children learn to share, be considerate of others, and the proper ways of solving conflict. All these skills will be useful in kindergarten.
Read with your child at least once per day. Reading time is a common kindergarten activity where children typically listen to a story being read aloud by a teacher. By reading to your child, you'll prepare him to practice patience and comprehension.
Practice coordination and work on motor skills to prepare your child for kindergarten craft activities. Showing your child how to use a pair of safety scissors or a glue stick will come in handy in the classroom. If possible, keep craft supplies at home such as crayons, coloring books, stamps, stickers, beads, and string.
Keep things organized at home and teach the child to place things where they belong. This will equip a child for following directions in school, which is an important lesson. To reinforce, you can let your child help with cooking, shopping, and cleaning up.
Give your child a hygiene lesson before the first day of kindergarten. Classroom activities often require sharing of materials, which often means sharing germs as well. Encourage your child to make a habit out of washing hands frequently.
