Kaboose Prepares Parents for Countdown to Kindergarten A few simple tips help getting ready for school a little easier Nearly four million children will start kindergarten in the U.S. this fall. The transition to "real school" can be both an exciting and scary time for kids and their parents, but there are a number of things parents can do to make the transition easier. Kaboose (TSX: KAB) has teamed up with Suelain Moy, parenting expert and frequent contributor to Kaboose, and Dr. David Nelson, Professor and Chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Georgetown University Hospital, to offer advice to parents as they and their kindergarteners-to-be get ready for the big day."There are few milestones in a child's life more memorable or poignant than the first day of kindergarten, but it also can be a stressful time for parents and children," said Ms. Moy. "At Kaboose, with our team of experts, we have the information, activities and tools to help parents support their child's learning at school on the first exhilarating day and every day thereafter."Experts at Kaboose also alert parents to considerations regarding the first day of school that may not have even come to mind. For example, a trip to the doctor is a good idea before starting the school year."Most states require that children get certain vaccines before they can start school," said Dr. Nelson. "Parents can help make the process easier by being aware of the school's immunization requirements and asking the child's doctor about combination vaccines that can reduce the number of shots a child receives in a single visit."On Kaboose.com parents can find several quick and easy tips to help the first day go smoothly, including:• Set regular routines before the school year begins. Keep them easy-to-do. It can be as simple as having a regular bath time or reading time, picking out the next day's outfit the night before, or having dinner together;• Practice basic skills and lessons at home. Simple things like painting, learning how to write their name, tying shoelaces, and taking care of their belongings can give your child confidence in school;• Organize all of your child's important documents: school calendars, medical forms, immunization records and emergency contact information;• Take your child to the doctor for a check-up before school starts. Several vaccinations may be required for school entry. Ask about fewer shots with combination vaccines as a way to help make meeting school-entry requirements easier;• Make sure the school has your most current emergency contact information. Be sure to include more than one number on the list, as well as a trusted neighbor or friend as a back-up contact;• Share your child's health history, including allergies or learning disabilities, with the school nurse; and• Do a "rehearsal" with your child before the first day so they understand where the school is and how they will be getting there and back.Parents can visit www.Kaboose.com for even more information about getting children off to a positive and healthy start to their scholastic careers and to explore fun and educational ways to connect parents and kids.About Kaboose Inc.Kaboose is one of the largest family-focused new media companies in the world and one of the top-five most visited family destinations online.
