We go to school in Filipino .
Let's start with the fact that many parents are tormented by the dilemma: from what age is it best to give the child to school - from six or all the same from seven years? In this case, if your baby has a different biological age from the passport one, experts recommend using the so-called Philippine test. Its essence lies in the fact that the child needs to try through his head to touch the tips of the fingers of his left hand to his right ear. If the child is not able to do it - it is still too early for him to go to school. Hence, it is better to give the baby to training after all since seven years. At this age, and the adaptation of the first-grader to the school itself is faster.
Preparing "fully armed"
Sometimes there is such an unpleasant situation that the child does not pronounce individual sounds or letters. In this case, you should definitely contact a speech therapist, who should recommend a course of special exercises designed to improve the speech of the baby. This is all due to the fact that first-graders at school, write the words in the same order as they say. That's why the correction of speech is the best way to the student's progress.
The first problems in life
There are cases when the kid goes to school, as "to hard labor", without the slightest joy in his eyes, for fear of what is waiting for him there. First and foremost, this is the error of the parents themselves who in advance "colored" the school to the child, as something fun and entertaining or, as a place where for him it is sure to "take it right." Here, the main thing is to properly lay out on the shelves and explain to the child all the "pluses" and "minuses" of his stay in the school and why he needs it at all.
By the way, the most difficult subject for a child is the letter. Therefore, from the age of five, parents need to develop the hand of the baby by writing letters and some words to them. Plus, it will be nice if the baby starts to crawl or collect different patterns or figures from a special designer. But it's best to start reading the child from four to five years.
Who gets up early ...
The first adaptation of the child to a new life, in the first place, is related to the ability to get up early. For children who did not go to the kindergarten in advance, it is very difficult to accustom oneself to the new regime. They usually used to stay up late and just get up late. In this case, to bother the child every morning with shouts: "Get up, it's time to school! ", - it's not worth it at all. Try to buy a special colorful alarm clock for your child and teach him how to use it. This will certainly help the baby to adjust to a new rhythm of life.
By the way, try as much as possible to educate your child a sense of responsibility. For this, give him special "adult" assignments. For example, get out of your room, go to the store for bread. In doing this, the child must necessarily realize that instead of this someone will not do it. If your child takes a conscious attitude to these things, then he will also necessarily treat the school learning process.
Doing lessons together
In order for the adaptation of the child to classes to occur much faster, be sure to help him do his homework. Although in this situation there is one "but". Do this so that the child does not start to visit the opinion that he will be helped by his whole life.
If your first-grader brought the first "deuce", you should not scold him and blame it. Just talk to him and explain that the main thing is not the assessment itself, but its diligence. Extra scandals about a bad mark can easily knock the child out of psychological balance and make him nervous. The main thing from the very first days of developing a child's desire for knowledge and attending school. After all, in this matter, the main thing is not coercion, but the very desire of the student to study.
Adaptation of first-graders to school life is easier if the parents are:
- consciously treat the child's personal right to make a mistake. In this case, the child needs to explain that we all "learn from our mistakes" and therefore no one is immune from this;
- show the first-grader that they are confident in its potential and capabilities. Here the main thing is that the child is aware of the act that at any difficult moment you will support it. For a kid who has had a change in his life (he became a schoolboy) this is very important. But do not forget that the child must also count on his own abilities and strength;
- to teach the child to rationally allocate his time and spend energy. To do this, it is necessary that the first-grader allocate special time for the homework and at the same time have a free hour for rest and communication with friends;
- Do not force a first-grader by the "batoga" method to study well or have exemplary behavior at school. Remember that this should happen consciously and not disturb its habitual and quiet rhythm of life;
- be always patient, persistent and at the same time kind to your baby. Thanks to exactly your attitude towards the first-grader, his adaptation at school will be much faster. Only parents can help their child to survive any changes and difficulties in his life.
