Getting there and back
- If possible, be around for your child for the first few days / weeks and ‘supervise’. Praise and encourage independence but be ready to offer a helping hand.
- Keep to your side of the bargain – if you have arranged to leave dinner money on top of the fridge make sure it is there!
- Go through the routine regularly with your child if necessary provide a tick-list to help them.
- Insist on the routine being kept to – it will save you hours in the long run.
