Being a Toddler is difficult when it comes to the transition of becoming of pre-school age, this is the time when they have difficulty relating to other Tots and other authority figures (Teachers). The first week of school, for the most part is difficult for both parents and the pre-school child.
Most children fear to be left in school and to have to associate with other children and to again ! face for once a new authority figure. However there is a healthy way to help them go to this transition and help them build up confidence.
To help alleviate this crucial development step parents could set up dressing up play sessions with friends, family and neighbours of the same age group “Tots”, these dressing up lys or games could help them develop social awareness witch is also a great start/opportunity for parents to learn what their (Tots) interests are.
These dressing up sessions could be carried out as plays, giving each one of the children a chance to play the role of an authority figure or a responsible adult like a Doctor, Policeman, Fireman, Arm Forces Member, Bus diver,and so on giving them each an opportunity to act authoritative and with that develop confidence. Animal costumes may also be used , dressing the up as different animals give them the tasks according to the costume of making the respective sounds and gestures witch will help them learn to express
Halloween could be a good opportunity to start these exercises due to the variety of costumes that may be obtained at Seasonal Clothing sectors.
