Even if you are a busy person, if your child is about to enter high school, you must definitely spend time and persistently practice these skills to help your child be confident when entering life.

1. Cook a meal

According to experts, before entering high school, children should know how to do everything related to taking care of themselves. Even if it is just a simple breakfast, this skill will help children take care of themselves when necessary, in case their parents are sick or busy and cannot prepare meals for them.

2. Wake up on time

Many parents are making their children dependent without even realizing it. Your child may set an alarm, but then what happens? They are still late for breakfast, get to school, and then you have to pick them up.

All of that makes your child think that his parents will always be there to wake him up, and if he is late, his parents will drive him to school. So, before your child enters high school, you need to let him understand that he has to wake up on time, take care of his personal hygiene, and change into clean clothes.

3. Wash your own clothes

When teaching children basic household chores like doing the laundry, we need to avoid getting angry or impatient and making them feel bad about doing these tasks. Give detailed instructions, then watch them do it once to make sure they understand how to do it.

4. Prepare your own school supplies

Parents often help their children prepare necessary items with the thought that they do not want their children to forget anything when they go to school. However, this is a mistake that can cause later, when your children grow up and go to work, they still do not have the habit of being responsible for remembering and reviewing their work.

5. Talk to strangers

“Never talk to strangers” is considered a classic teaching from parents to their children. However, it is time for this to change. The right way is to teach children how to distinguish dangerous strangers who need to be avoided from many normal and harmless strangers.

6. Go grocery shopping

Taking your child to the market and shopping not only helps them learn how to navigate the supermarket and get what they need, but also helps them develop money management and budgeting skills.

7. Plan a fun outing

By the time your child is about to enter high school, he or she is old enough to plan an outing for himself or herself. However, it is important to note that when asking your child about their outing plans to get information, you should not let your anxiety discourage and scare them away.

Encourage your child to go out into the world, go to the movies, go to the mall, or simply go out to buy snacks... These are the first efforts for your child to be able to reach out to the world on their own.

8. Take public transport

Children will learn very quickly if they are guided and allowed to do so. The skill of using public transport should be practiced from a young age because your child will never live in one place and with one person all their life. They need to know about the world around them and find their own way.
