a. Consider that children of this age do not like interference from their parents
b. Be assured that the local school is good and that the child shouldn't be worried
c. Consider going to the school and meeting the child's teachers
d. Support the child to handle this problem without their help
C
A child of this age will want help from her parents. In addition to the pressures of entering a new school, this child is also going to a school in a new community. The parents can meet the teachers and possibly volunteer to help at the school. Children of this age need support from their parents to adjust to school.
