The parents of a 6-year-old inform the nurse that their child will be starting first grade this month and they are concerned about the effect of school adjustment for their child. The nurse advises the parents to:
a. Reassure the child that school will be just like kindergarten
b. Watch for signs of fatigue or stress
c. Be protective and take the child's side in any conflict
d. Call the teacher or school administration frequently to check on the child
B
Parents should observe their child for behavioral changes, such as becoming withdrawn or fatigued. Encouraging the child to discuss happenings at school each day will help parents know what is going in their child's life. Taking the child's side in an overprotective manner may cause the child to become hostile to the teacher. Too frequent contact with the school may interfere with adjustment.
