Feedback:
If school is discussed as something to look forward to, as an adventure that will be satisfying and rewarding, a child comes to look forward to it as a positive experience. Pointing out how to get home from school might be more important than how to get to school. Warning about rules and expecting to work on the floor may cause the child to view school as punishment.
