It can certainly be difficult for children to miss the first week of school, especially since there can be a lot of important information shared during that time. It is important to try to make up for this time by speaking to the teacher and trying to find out what was missed. It may be beneficial to ask the teacher what the best way forward is in terms of catching up. You may also want to implement additional activities or lessons in the areas covered during the first week of school, and allow your child additional, personalized learning time as needed. This may include reading books related to the topics, having conversations with friends or family members, or engaging in online activities related to the topics. Overall, it is important to remember that the goal is to help your child learn what was missed without overwhelming him or her.
