Moving from Yr 2 to Yr 3

Hello there,

I'm mum to a newly diagnosed, wonderful 7 yo boy. The last two years the transition between years has been a tough time for my son with challenging behavior (biting). Now we have the diagnosis we can be more prepared.

Any one have any tips?

What we've thought of so far...

  1. Making sure he is with at least one of his best buddies (this year he was separated from his 3 best friends.) 
  2. Meet the new teacher beforehand
  3. Check out the new room and where he is going to line up in the playground.
  4. Move his calm down stuff to the new room so he knows that is going to be there when he needs it. 
  5. Take some photos of the new room so we can look at them in the weeks running up to the new year started.
Thanks
Jen
