You gradually get over all the troubles and scares that come with sending your child off to his school. There are quite a lot of tips and tricks which parents can follow to ease the process. We have mentioned a few for you below.

Bribe Them
Yes, bribing is illegal but bribing your kids ain’t. You have to offer them a little something when you have no other choice left. Kids are innocent. Parents get them a 4-inch toy lion and they forget all their worries. Similarly, bribe your kids with the stuff they like if they lose their cool when going to school. Give them little toys and chocolates to encourage them to go. Also, promise to take them to their favourite playland after they get done with their class.

School Bag
Children are crazy for their school bags just like women who are crazy for their branded bags. Use it as a tool to successfully send them to school. Get them a school bag of their choice. Even better if you surprise them with one of their likings. The Warehouse has a variety of bags. Your go-to place for online college bags shopping in Pakistan.

Clothes
Kids are also obsessed with themed costumes. Promise them to get a superman cape and they would be ready to do literally anything for you. Hence, take advantage of this and surprise your little daughter with a frozen dress. Promise her you’ll show it to her once she is back from the school.

Affection
Affection above everything. Kids agree to those who deal with them politely. Instead of scolding and scaring them with senseless statements, tell them you love them. Send your child to school with goodbye hugs and kisses and politely tell them you’ll pick them up after a few hours. Don’t forget to pass on a reassuring smile to them.
-
Food
Food can even melt an adult’s heart so why wouldn’t melt the kids? Pack their favourite food for their school lunch and not your favourite. Tell them it’s only meant to be eaten in the school and not home. Hopefully, they would agree to go to school this way.
-
Ice Breaking
A few weeks into the school, invite your child’s class fellows over for a party filled with fun games and activities for kids. It’s a great way to break the ice between all the kids. Your child will start loving the idea of school when he will become familiar with all the faces.
-
Chocolates and Candies
Mostly, it’s the separation anxiety that scares them from going to a new place. In this case, make them learn the art of socializing. Keep sending small goodies like chocolates and candies from time to time for their class fellows and teachers. They will be forced to interact with new kids in the class and eventually make life-long friends there. Kids adjust easily this way.
-
Swings
All kids love the swings from the core of their heart. Fortunately, every school has enough swings to keep them entertained. Try to save a few pictures of the school’s swing area on your phone. And show them when they throw a tantrum even on hearing their school’s name. Tell them they would have access to all of these swings once they enter the school.
If you play it smartly, you can manage it all. You cannot avoid your kids’ tantrums but you can surely control them using your brains. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes quite easy for you. If not all, most of the above-mentioned tips and tricks do wonders if implemented the right way.
