Has it happened to you that after a few days of vacation rest your son does not feel like going to school and lower his grades a bit?
The fact of going to school is a particular experience that depends on the personality of each child. During this period it is essential that they feel their parents are close, especially during the first years, so they will consider that the school is part of their life and that it can be as fun as any other activity with which the child enjoys. That's what it is, that the child has fun and is happy, and in this way, the process of learning and personal growth will be much more effective.
Below I will indicate the steps you must follow to make your child feel like going to school:
- It is essential that from a very early age the child begins to relate to people other than parents. The school is the best environment for it, since there they will share a lot of time with children of their age and these will help them to develop their autonomy and personality.
- Parents should let them see how much fun it is to go to school: friends, learning, teachers, play, etc. In this way the feeling of the child will always be positive.
- Parents should maintain a close and direct relationship with their children's teachers, keep informed of everything that happens to them and reinforce all the child's shortcomings with the teachers.
- It is essential that the parents of the students meet and do extracurricular activities with the children so that they can interact and have fun outside of school, and so they feel like going to school to meet their friends.
- Equally necessary is to instill in children the habits of reading and writing as part of their lives, with desire, joy and play so that they consider it another activity and incorporate it into their lives.
The above tips will allow the child to feel safe and happy in school, will increase their concentration and the desire to learn.

- Encourage from the family the sense of responsibility of the child through play, something that will increase in school.
- Study with them and let them see that it is fun to learn.
