Your child goes to school

In this article we will not detailto stop at psychological, personal and intellectual readiness for school: all this needs to be checked several months before the child goes to school. We'll talk about the points to look at a few weeks before the first of September, and of which parents often forget.

Preparing the child for school, parents usually paymore attention to the material aspect, because so many things you need to buy: stationery, a knapsack for notebooks and textbooks, school uniforms. Undoubtedly, all this is very important when a child goes to school. And not only from a practical point of view. New things, first, show the child that a new life has begun, and secondly, they help to reconcile to some extent with this. Very important To involve the child in choosing and buying things for school, to listen to his opinion, to make him feel involved in what is happening. So he can feel more mature and independent.

Before the child goes to school, it is very important consult with a doctor, especially if the child has chronicdisease. But even if there are no such diseases, a visit to the pediatrician will not be superfluous. Beginning of school is a stress for the child's organism: it takes a long time to sit in one place, the load (intellectual and physical) increases. A doctor can give useful advice about strengthening the body. Make sure that your child has all the necessary vaccinations. It is advisable to improve immunity before the school.

If this autumn your child goes to school, already in the second half of the summer you need to gradually accustom him to a new daily routine. Usually the children's regime of the summer is more"Relaxed", the daily routine is often absent as such. If you observe this regime of the day to the last, the child will be very difficult to adapt to a new clear schedule. Therefore, the child needs to begin to translate into a normal daily routine, while not heavily loading it. Instruct a child to get up and eat at the same time, alternate with rest.

In addition, it is necessary in advance accustom a child to order. For a couple of weeks before school, cook together withhim his workplace, which will be his personal corner. Spread out new stationery there. Give the child to understand that he is responsible for his workplace.

It is very important to create a child positive image of the school. Often parents make out of school and teacherssuch a "babe", in fact, intimidating the child with a school. If the child has problems with independence, the mother says: "Get used to doing everything yourself, at school with you no one will babysit." Or the child behaves badly, is distracted, and his mother frightens: "You will behave badly at school, you will get a deuce in behavior, and no one will be friends with you, because you are a dvoechnik." Such phrases cause the child to fear the school, exacerbate the discomfort and make it difficult for the child to adapt to school.

Instead, it's better to tell the child about your school years and childhood friends, to show photos, to share funny stories from school life. If you pre-form a child warm attitude towards school, he will wait for the start of studies not with fear and uncertainty, but with joy.

If the child goes to mugs or sections, it is better in the first 2-3 weeks of study cancel classes, if possible. While the child adapts to the school, it is better not to load it with additional activities - his nervous system and so it is hard. Of course, everything depends on the individual characteristics of the child: someone will get used to school in a couple of days, and someone will need several months. Make sure that after school the child has enough rest, and only then sit down for lessons.
