Prep Up Your Preschooler for Kindergarten Admission with These Questions
Kindergarten admissions today have come a long way from being simple introduction meet-ups. Nursery schools expect your child to answer some basic questions and have knowledge of colours and shapes and such during the evaluation.
Why Do Kindergarten Schools Conduct Interview for Admission?
The purpose of these nursery interviews is to give the school staff a good measure of your child’s developmental milestones. Can she answer questions? Can she identify shapes, numbers and colours? Can she follow simple instructions and solve simple problems? The staff evaluates your child based on these parameters and recognises if there are any cases of special needs education. The process also acts as an assessment for the parents.
30 Important Interview Questions for a Child for Nursery Admission
Here are some nursery interview questions for your child that will help her prepare.
What is your name?
What are your mum and dad’s names?
Do you have any sisters or brothers?
Where do you live?

Additional Tips to Prepare Child for His First School Interview
Here are some tips to prepare your child to answer her preschool interview questions.
1. Do Your Research About the School
Find out the questions they ask so that you can prepare your child.
2. Keep an Eye Out for Peers
If there are other kids around who are going through the same process, have play dates with them. Your child will be more comfortable at the school when her friend is around.
3. Take Her through the Basics
Colours, numbers, shapes, names, alphabet, etc., are some of the basic questions that will be asked.
4. Add it to Her Routine
Set out some time to sit with your child and go through the questions. Make it fun and playful; she will start warming up to it.
5. Be Smart
Your child’s communication skills, speech, etc., will be evaluated. Ensure that you work on the points where you think your child isn’t strong.
6. Make a Plan
Start getting your child involved in simple household chores like cleaning up her room. Start ahead of time, and you can improve your child’s skills.
7. Teach Cleanliness
It is essential that your child knows how to tidy up. It will be helpful in general and especially if the headmistress offers her candy and she drops the wrapper right on the table.
8. Don’t Overwhelm Her
Throwing all the questions at her once is not a great idea. Children learn by practice. Go slow.
9. Appreciate Progress
Celebrate every little progress so that your child knows she is doing something right and is motivated for the next step.
10. Deal with Tantrums
Some children are prone to tantrums, especially in public. Teach her to stop this with proper love, compassion and smartness.
11. Help Her Talk
If she’s shy, encourage her to talk to your new friends or at family gatherings.
12. Make it Fun
Don’t turn preparation into a rut. Make it fun, so she learns faster and remembers better.
13. Encourage Curiosity
Drive her to ask questions on how things around her work and answer patiently to all her questions.
14. Teach Social Cues
Good morning, thank you, please, and sorry can go a long way in creating a good impression. Also, teach her to call elders outside family mam or sir.
15. Don’t Stress Her Out
Go to the interview like it’s any other meet. Do not cause unnecessary stress.
16. Brief Her
Tell your child basic things about the school. You may also want to take a trip the school beforehand.
17. Ask Her to be Confident
Tell her to smile graciously as she answers questions.
18. Dress Appropriately
Both you and your child will need to dress formal and straightforward, without a lot of add-ons to make a good impression.
19. Prepare Yourself
You’ll be asked questions about your work, lifestyle, and interests. You will need to prepare accordingly.
20. Bond with Your Child
It is easier to help your child prepare when she knows that she can trust you.
Preschool interviews can be a lot for your child, but with the right preparation, she will do great.

Raspberry Orange Smoothie
The name very much describes the smoothie! It’s made of raspberries, fresh orange juice, home-made yoghurt and a hint of sweetener like honey or sugar. This beverage can be had for breakfast or as a quick mid-meal-pick-me-up snack to boost the energy levels. We recommend using frozen raspberries, as it will give a slushier consistency to the smoothie.
Serves
Preparation Time
Cooking Time
2 People
10-15 Minutes
0 Minutes
Ingredients
200 ml orange juice
100 gm raspberries, frozen
2 tbsp low fat, no-fat yoghurt
4 tbsp sugar / honey
½ cup ice cubes
Method
Step 1
Wash raspberries and cut into pieces.
Step 2
In a blender, whirl raspberries, orange juice and yoghurt. Addition of yoghurt is optional.
Step 3
Addition of sugar or honey is also optional. However, we would suggest you add them since orange and raspberry, both, have a citrusy / sour taste to them.
Step 4
Lastly, add ice cubes and blend again on low speed.
Step 5
Garnish with a slice of raspberry. Serve immediately.

A. See I would just like to tell you that using the left hand is common with kids are basically dominant with the left hand only as India parents we believe that one should do everything from the right that is why we force our child to do something from the right otherwise normally kids are left-handed only and there is nothing wrong with that if you want you can keep collecting your child to use right hand
