Parenting Guide: Prepare Your Child For School Admission Interviews

Whichever school you choose for your child, there is a process your child needs to face, which is an admission interview. A school admission interview is conducted to test the student’s learning potential. However, preparing for it can be a tough task. However, to ease your job as a parent, Ideal Education Point (New Choudhary Public School), a School in Pratap Nagar Jaipur, gives you some tips to prepare your child for school admission interviews.

Do extensive research: It is essential to know the school your child will get into as it will have expectations from its future students. You should know what the teachers will ask, what information you need to provide, etc., regarding your child’s future School in Jaipur.  

Get your child comfortable: Ensure that your child doesn’t get school phobia because of the admission interview environment. You can do this by making friends with a neighbor whose child is also admitted to the same school. Your child will have a friend and won’t feel lonely.

Work on the basics: Usually, schools don’t ask this in the interview, but let’s not rule out this possibility, so if your child is aware of GK, shapes, colors, job, address, etc., it will be beneficial.

Create a home learning schedule: Make a schedule that you and your child are comfortable with and practice daily. You need to work on your child’s communication skills, interaction level, and cognitive and academic skills, as the selection primarily depends on this.

Teach your child cleanliness: A school may ask your child about cleanliness in the interview, such as do you wash your hands after and before meals? This factor increases your child’s selection and reflects on your little one’s personality.  

Teach your child to dress properly: Your child should be neatly dressed in formals as much as possible, this way, your little one will have a habit of dressing appropriately, and it won’t feel like a burden.

Don’t be too strict with your child: Please note that children won’t learn worldly etiquette in a single day, so take your time and don’t be too harsh or strict. With time your child will know everything.   

Tackle the tantrums: Since your child is very close to you and gets all the love and care, he or she might become too demanding or troublesome. It is where you should make a line. Teach your child how to behave outside. Your little one should know how to act appropriately in school and anywhere, formal or professional. 

Encourage talking: If your child is shy, the chances are that he will not speak in the interview either. Therefore, you should start practicing communication skills with your child daily to be confident and ready for the admission interview day.

Mock tests are always helpful: If your child faces a different environment suddenly, he will stutter. However, you can ensure that it doesn’t happen with daily mock admission exams. This way, your child will feel like I have done that, been there, and give the interview more freely and confidently.

Make your child curious: The teachers may also test your child’s curiosity with an instant task. So it’s your job to prepare him for the same. One way to do this is to make your child question everything.

Develop social mannerism: Social mannerism is the thing that puts the first impression. It is the only thing on our list that your child can learn from observing, so, until the day of the school admission interview, you need to behave like how you would give an interview.
