在帮宝宝准备去幼儿园的东西时，你会用到这些词汇：

I. Back-to-school checklist 返校物品清单

1. A backpack / rucksack 一个背包

【School bag的说法也是正确的，尤其小孩子会这样说。】

2. A pair of slippers 一双拖鞋

3. A thermos / straw bottle 一个暖水瓶 / 吸管瓶

4. Extra pairs of underwear 备用内裤几条

【注意，underwear是不可数名词，one underwear, two underwears的说法是错误的。】

5. Extra pairs of socks 备用袜子几双

II. 下面几句话，是我们征集到的，中国妈妈每天早上在宝宝上幼儿园之前，对宝宝说的话：

1. 乖乖的，表现好就能得到小红花哦。

Be a good girl / boy. If you behave yourself you can earn a sticker.

【西方国家喜欢给小贴画作为奖励，相当于咱们的小红花。】

2. 要和小朋友团结友爱，不要和小朋友打架。

Try to make friends with the other children. Don't fight with them.

3. 亲亲妈妈，新的一天在幼儿园玩得开心。

Kiss mummy goodbye. Hope you have a fun new day playing at kindergarten.

4. 妈妈一下班就来接你。

I'll come straight from work to pick you up.

5. 你要是想上厕所，一定要和老师讲，不要憋着。

If you want to go to the bathroom, feel free to tell your teacher. Don't hold it in.

6. 你猜猜今天幼儿园有什么好吃的？西红柿炒鸡蛋，红烧排骨，还是香酥大虾？

Guess what yummy food you will have at kindergarten today? Fried tomatoes and eggs, ribs in soybean sauce, or crispy pawns?

III. 对孩子说什么可以缓解分离焦虑？

How to comfort your child from separation anxiety?

下面的话引自一篇专业论文，作者：Stephenie Gold, Director, LEAP Clinic (www.leapclinic.ca); Dr. Lynn Miller, Ph.D., R.Psych; Katia Jitlina, M.Sc.

1. Talk about shared likes and interests about the teacher

讲讲老师和宝宝的共同爱好

“I heard [teacher's name] loves reading books about animals too! I wonder if she also likes trains as much as you do?”

“我听说[老师的姓氏]老师也喜欢关于动物的书耶。不知道她是不是也像你一样喜欢小火车呢？”

2. Work out some of their fears in advance through games, such as hide and seek

通过游戏的方式提前解决害怕的情绪，如：捉迷藏

“I will always find you. No pirates or ogres can stop me!”

“我永远都能找到你，海盗和食人兽也阻止不了我。”

3. In the mornings of school days, if your child is looking worried, you can say:

每天早上上学前，如果孩子看来焦虑，你可以说：

“I see that you have some butterflies in your tummy. It’s alright, I know you can be very brave! ”

“我看出来你心里打鼓。但是没事的，我知道你很勇敢的。”

4. Draw a heart on your child’s hand and on your own hand, and say:

在孩子和自己的手上分别画一个桃心，然后对他说：

“Every time you look at the heart, mummy is looking at the heart on her hand and thinking of you too.”

“每次你一看小桃心，妈妈也在看自己手上的小桃心，也在想着你呢。”

5. Saying “Calm down”, “Don’t be afraid”, “You’ll be fine” are not very effective and may make the child more distressed. Instead, use a calm, soothing tone:

“平静下来”，“别害怕”，“你会没事的”这些话不是十分有效，而且可能会让孩子更紧张。你可以说一些起镇定、舒缓作用的话，如：

“Let’s see what they have in your classroom.”

“咱们看看教室里都有什么啊？”

“Your teacher is over there. She is very happy to see all you children!”

“你看你们老师在那儿呢，她特高兴等着你们这些小朋友来呢。”

“Let’s see if we can find your courage.”

“咱们看看宝宝是不是特棒，根本不害怕。”

6. Focus your child’s attention to the reconnection after school

谈谈放学以后的事情

“After school, let’s sit on the hammock together and you can tell me the three most interesting things you did at school today. I can’t wait to hear them!”

“等你放学了，咱们一起坐小吊床，然后你给我讲三件今天在学校里发生的最有趣的事情。我好想听哦。”
