Sometimes, school adaptation at basic education levels takes time . This may be due to different causes, such as interaction with other students, teachers, or the institution's way of educating.

However, there are some steps you can take to better understand your child's situation in order to help them. 

Below we will tell you the keys to facilitate your process of adaptation to school and that in this way you can have a better experience during this stage of your life. 



Tips for achieving child school adaptation

As parents, children's school adaptation can be challenging, since they will be able to see signs that your child presents, but that they do not verbalize or do not know how to communicate. So below we will give you advice on what to do if you see him crestfallen and shy when he returns from school.  

1. Make sure they are in a healthy school environment

First of all, go to your child and ask him how he is, when they are very young it will be more difficult for them to communicate, so talk to the school so you know how he has been doing in class, it is very important to know the context before acting . 

Likewise, make sure that your school has the appropriate elements for the correct school adaptation of the child . In order for your son to achieve his greatest potential, he must be able to develop in a healthy space, where he feels capable and safe. For this, a healthy school environment must be created that encompasses all dimensions of the human being (physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual), giving special importance to the development of emotional and social intelligence. From this derives a greater self-knowledge and ability to regulate emotions in adverse circumstances or that suggest some change, as in the case of children's school adaptation.

To achieve this, there must be a prepared and orderly environment so that the child can work on their activities with well-defined limits, but at the same time give them freedom, promoting concentration and learning.

Likewise, the appropriate environment must be offered for healthy socialization in which respect and solidarity are instilled from preschool education to the highest levels.

2. Approach teachers who support their adaptation to school

Now that you know the context, it's important to talk to your child's home teacher. The teacher should be your ally, act as a guide or facilitator in your child's learning, allowing him to develop his confidence and self-discipline and intervening, only when necessary, in his learning process. This healthy distance enables a personalized education and provides the educator with a perspective that improves the student's knowledge. That is why the teacher will be your best ally to understand what stage your children are in, what their needs are, and the circumstances that are hindering their integration into the new environment.

3. Consult an education specialist

Starting from a holistic perspective , education specialists, that is, educational psychologists who can support you in the event that it is difficult for you and your owners to understand the difficulties your child is experiencing. Thus, learning problems or bullying can be prevented through techniques and exams to understand their emotional and learning state . Consulting an expert in educational psychology is an essential part of the solution.
