Mum, I don't want to go to school!!

For parents, the day when their child goes to school for the first time is one of those moments that they will never forget

together with the first day their child called them "Mum or Dad" or that instant when the child took their first steps. For

children, starting school for the first time is one of the biggest changes in their lives, especially if they have not spent a

lot of time at a nursery school. Parents have to face possible problems during the early stages of a child's school life.

Many children dont want to go to school because they would simply prefer to be at home in an environment that they

are happy and comfortable with. In this case, parents should try to convince them that children still spend most of their

life outside the classroom, so they will still see their parents a lot.

When a child has a problem with another child, it is good to teach them strategies on how to get free from children they

do not like. If they have other friends in the class it is advisable asking them to spend time with them. Teachers soon

identify problem children, so if other children are causing any trouble, this is often soon controlled by teachers. If you

think a teacher doesnt know about a problem child then discuss your worries with them as soon as possible. Early

school experiences can stay with a child for a long time so it is important to try to rectify this type of difficult situations

early.

Sometimes it is difficult for children to make new friends. Then, it is very useful for parents to ask their child if there is

one or two children that they would like to get to know. Then, they can invite these children to their house to play and

have tea with their child. This will also help parents to get to know other parents.

When achild appears reserved and quiet, you should talk to the childabout what is happening at school in order to

identify a specific problem. Most times they seem quiet and reserved because they are feeling a little exhausted by the

experience. Because of the extra concentration and excitement that the children find when starting school, it is very

important to give them plenty of rest and relax.

The best advice parents can be given is discuss their worries with the class teacher early. Although they will contact

parents if they have any problems, they will also be more than happy to put parents' mind at rest over any issues that

they may have.

Hi Sally!You know from my previous mails how bad things are for Spanishpeople because of the crisis. I must announce you that thegovernment is going to cut public salaries once more: that'll be thethird cut in less than two years.I'm really worried. You know I'm a lone mother, and my salary is theonly money we get at home. I don't know how I can reduce myexpenses in order not to fall in debt or how I can increase my incomesto make up for the salary cut.Well, you know I work for the local government and we publicemployees don't have to be afraid of losing our jobs (so far...). Butsalaries have gone down dramatically.I don't know what to do. Can you give me any advice?Regards
