Graduation can be one of your child’s fondest early memories, where they feel as though they are finally entering the real world. This remains consistent in primary school, high school or university. As such, it is important to celebrate these monumental moments with your child- showing them that graduating is something to be proud of- which will improve your child’s self-esteem in the long run. With so many different ways to celebrate, we at Fotek school portraits, the best preschool photographer in Sydney, have compiled a list which will help give your child the best day of their lives.
Throw a graduation party
Sometimes the simplest answer is the best. With their primary school lives about to begin, a small party will help your little one break outside their comfort zone and develop their social skills. Chances are, this will be one of their first times experiencing a party thrown for them. You could invite your child’s friends and their parents and have a BBQ, celebrating everybody’s graduation. In doing so, you teach your child to have a sense of achievement.
Give them a gift
Every child loves receiving gifts! Gift receiving is a simple, yet effective way to teach your little one about gratitude and appreciation. This teaches them that they should be thankful for all gifts: big or small. Additionally, it shows them how important their graduation really is- that it is not just a regular day. Gift ideas could include, toys or even books- where it shows that you put thought into the gift, as it teaches them about thoughtfulness.
Take them on a trip
Take some time off after your child’s graduation to go on a trip. Everybody needs a vacation, and it would be a good time to teach your little one to appreciate traveling. This trip can be something small like a road trip, or something grander like an overseas trip. The memories made will last a lifetime and will be more meaningful when they think they earned it.
Take a professional photoshoot
There is no celebration without photos to remember them by. A well captured photo can connect you to your past, inducing nostalgia for the years to come. Kindergarten photographs capture a time when your little one is pure and innocent- unbound by the harsh realities of the world. Photographs can tell stories and evoke emotions and is a great way to celebrate. Every child enjoys looking back at old photos of themselves and see how far they have come. Here at Fotek school portraits, one of Sydney’s leading daycare and kindergarten photographers, we want to help every parent celebrate their children’s achievements with a photoshoot. Nothing is more exciting than dressing up and getting ready to take a photo that will last a lifetime. We offer a wide variety of preschool photography packages- graduation photos being one of them.
