Psychological preparation of the child for school

So, this time has come - on September, 1st or first time in the first class. Probably, to the fact that the child will someday go to the first class, we, mothers, begin to prepare almost from the very birth. Mentally we imagine our little child in a new elegant form or suit with a needle, with a bouquet of flowers at the ready, and, of course, we understand how important this is in the life of every child.

Surely, in connection with this, you often visit memories of their own experiences about entering the first grade. You, of course, remember that exciting morning of September 1 of your first school day, when the whole family rose to light no dawn to take their little pupil to school.

So, first tip: be sure to share your memories with your child . Let him understand that his situation is not unique, that you once experienced the same mixed feelings of joy, excitement, anticipation and anxiety. In addition, it will show your first-grader that you can share your school experiences with your mother in the future.

Remember how a huge number of new rules and responsibilities immediately fell upon you. Prepare your child for this, too. But avoid sudden transitions: let new duties become pleasant indicators of his adulthood, and not a heavy burden of responsibility, which suddenly falls on him. And in order to add a pleasant note to appearing duties, think up your child and new "rights", that is, some privileges from adulthood: go to bed half an hour later than usual, make yourself a sandwich in the microwave or something else insignificant , but important for your child.

Agree that, despite the fact that many of us did not want to plunge into the abyss of study after a happy vacation, the Day of Knowledge of September 1 was still a holiday for us. Try to create the same exciting holiday atmosphere for your child as well . This will be facilitated not only by a new outfit, bought specially for this occasion, but also a solemn meeting of your baby from school, a family dinner on this occasion, and maybe a significant gift .

Let your child know that everything in his school life matters to him, it is important for you. During the first school days, be sure to ask your student about what happened to him today in the school, praise him and cheer him up. But just do it all sincerely, otherwise the child will suspect something is wrong. Sure, you love your child.

Take advantage of his entry into the first class to show it again: rejoice with him for his successes, experience with him his failures, but in any case do not be angry with him for minor flaws. Always remember yourself during the same period, and your memory will surely tell you the best way out.

And in order to change the situation was not for your child a sudden and very much too contrast, play with him "to school . " Sold by the desks of the toys, make the highest and most beautiful doll a teacher, equip the class with a wooden board and a piece of chalk, and cut the notebooks for the dolls. Let the child plunge into the atmosphere of school life in his familiar home environment.
