Another milestone is about to be reached - the little ones are starting school and big changes are coming with them. It's not just about learning to read and write, but also about changing the whole of everyday life for both children and parents. We have listed the areas that should be given special attention here.

Change school start

The environment

We all know it: feeling really comfortable is best in a familiar environment. Your child has probably been going to the same kindergarten for years, knows the premises, the teachers and has made friends there. Therefore, especially at the beginning, keep an eye on whether your child feels comfortable on the premises and also makes friends with classmates.

Get up early

This issue is not only a challenge for children, but also for many adults. So make sure that your child goes to bed early enough. Primary school children need around ten hours of sleep. Another aspect that not only makes getting up easier, but also promotes personal responsibility, is using your own alarm clock. Let your child choose their own alarm clock, so it will be fun to switch it on and set it in the evening.

Exercise patience

Patience is also something that usually requires practice. Especially in slightly larger school classes of over 20 children, you often have to wait your turn. The issue of consideration is also closely linked to this. It is therefore a great advantage if the little ones learn at home that you should pay attention to the feelings and wishes of others. Even if this sometimes means having to wait yourself.

Homework

Homework is one of the biggest changes to becoming a schoolchild. In order to avoid stress in this regard, support is very important, especially when it comes to time management. Right from the start, show your child how to write homework down correctly and organize it well.

Independence

This point applies not only to getting up and doing homework, but also to the journey to school. How do parents manage to send their child off to school alone and with as few worries as possible? With our Anio 5 children's smartwatch, you can track your child's location and receive a notification when they arrive at school. During school hours, however, the smartwatch is a normal watch with a clock face. In school mode, all smart functions are muted and incoming calls are blocked. After school, these functions are automatically reactivated.

If you are interested in this topic and want to find out more about how your child can get to school safely and on their own, then take a look at our store. All the functions are described in detail there. Alternatively, you can also send us a message via one of our social media channels.

To make the big day even more special, the school bag is a must. We have therefore given it some thought and think that it should be a mixture of useful things for the start of school, games and, of course, something sweet. Here are our ideas of must-haves for the perfect back-to-school bag.
