How to prepare a child for school?

Hi to everyone! I am a very young mother, and I haven’t yet had much experience at parenting ... So I am very worried, if something goes wrong, but I still want the best for my son.
So, soon my child will go to primary school, and I don’t know yet how best to prepare him for it? Before that, he was only homeschooled, and he hasn’t a lot of experience in dealing with other children, which I am very worried about! Should he have any preparatory courses? How much money is needed?

    We are also the boy's parents. He is already 7 and we go to school. But getting ready for school was tough. We worked with him at home, took him to a developmental circle for children (to communicate with peers), took him to a tutor. Bought an educational kids and colorful laptop, printed activity sheets for preschool education here https://wunderkiddy.com/ grandparents presented a table lotto with various words, they bought cards with letters. In general, we tried a lot of interesting things for kids. I think that one preschool will not be enough, involve grandparents (if they have time), take turns with your husband (at least 20 minutes of personal time) and everything will work out for you in the best way!!

    Hi, the child needs to be taught to books and writing as early as possible.

    You don’t need to spend a lot to get him ready. Just work on basics like sitting still for a bit, following directions, and being kind to others. Practicing little routines like packing his backpack or putting on shoes can help too!

    You’re already doing great by caring so much. Kids are super adaptable, and many start school without much experience with other kids. Maybe try a few playdates or local library story times just to ease into social settings.

    Hi! I know this thread is old, but I wanted to share some information, as this is a common question many parents face.
    First, it’s really helpful to read books or articles about transition periods—a term that refers to any significant change in a child’s life. Secondly, there are several key layers parents should keep in mind, including: Academic preparation/ Building life skills/ Social preparation/ Emotional preparation/Health and safety preparation, etc. This article explains each of these areas in more detail and offers practical recommendations on how to implement them: https://medium.com/@esme.keffe/how-to-prepare-your-child-and-yourself-for-kindergarten-goodbye-tears-hello-confidence-3ffd6df488f4 Hope this helps! 😊
