“Like father, like son, a blessed family.” Sending children to school, every parent hopes their child will receive the best care. The moment of picking up children from kindergarten each afternoon is especially precious, filled with love and interesting stories. Picking up children may seem simple, but it is an art, requiring subtlety and understanding of children’s psychology.
The Significance of Picking Up Children
Picking up children is not just about bringing them home after a day of learning. It is also a bridge between family and school, helping children feel safe, loved, and connected with their parents. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool education expert with 20 years of experience, shared in her book “Nurturing Children with Love”: “The moment of picking up children is when family affection is most clearly expressed, helping children build trust and bonding with loved ones.” Picking up children on time also shows respect for teachers and school regulations.
Pickup time is also when parents can communicate with teachers about their child’s learning and activities at school, thereby better coordinating education. According to folk beliefs, picking up children on time also brings “luck” home, praying for children to always be healthy and safe.
Things to Note When Picking Up Children
Be on time and maintain order
Being on time is paramount. Imagine if you are late, your child will feel anxious and insecure among friends who have already been picked up. “A time for everything,” being punctual not only shows respect for the school but also cultivates discipline in children from a young age. When arriving at school, maintain order, avoid talking loudly or making noise, which can affect other children.
Interact positively with your child and teacher
When you meet your child, hug them, and ask about their day at school. A smile and a warm hug will help your child feel secure and happy. Don’t forget to greet and exchange information with the teacher. Small details like whether your child ate a lot or a little, or slept well, are valuable.
Other Considerations
In addition, you should also pay attention to dressing neatly when coming to school. Avoid bringing unnecessary items. In particular, do not let children bring toys or food when leaving to avoid disputes or fights.
A Pickup Story
I will always remember the story of baby Minh, a shy boy. Every day, when picking up Minh, his mother would only wave from a distance. Minh often looked sad and quiet. After consulting with the teacher, Minh’s mother changed her way of picking him up. She came closer, hugged Minh, and asked about interesting things at school. Gradually, Minh became much happier and more active. This small story shows the importance of picking up children properly.
“Raising children makes you realize your parents’ love,” picking up children may be a small act but contains the boundless love of parents for their children. Cherish every moment of picking up your beloved child, so that every afternoon after school is a beautiful memory.
In conclusion, picking up children from kindergarten is not only a responsibility but also a joy for every parent. Turn this moment into a bridge of love, helping children develop comprehensively both physically and mentally. Leave a comment and share this article if you find it helpful.
