Adaptation in kindergarten

Surely, many "experienced" moms came acrosssuch a situation. On the first day the child happily went to the kindergarten, did not cry when Mom left, quietly played with other children. But already literally the next day the baby does not let go of his mother, cries, rolls up hysterics. This is absolutely natural and normal. The child enters the stage of adaptation - adaptation to the changed conditions of his environment, routine. From the way the adaptation process proceeds, the further relation of the child to the kindergarten depends.

Adaptation to kindergarten is considered easy ifit occurs within one to two weeks. Adaptation for up to two months is within the normal range. But even if after three months of visiting the kindergarten the child continues to behave "as on the first day," then it is already a matter of severe adaptation. This case requires the help of a qualified psychologist.

What is a kindergarten for a child? It's clear to parents that the garden is necessary for the development of social skills, for teaching the child rules and discipline. And for a child, the kindergarten is a serious test. He falls into a completely unfamiliar place, there are no relatives near him, something is demanded from him. Previously, he paid all the attention of relatives, now he is one of many, and this is a serious blow to the child's egocentrism.

The easiest adaptation is for those children,which parents prepared in advance for entering the kindergarten. You can start training with storytelling about a kindergarten, reading fairy tales about a kindergarten. You can play "in kindergarten" with toys. It will be good if you will walk with a baby in advance near the kindergarten, tell what they do there, how fun they are played there. It is necessary to present to the child a kindergarten as the most fascinating place for games and amusements. If possible, it is necessary to introduce the child in advance to his future educator, so that later he is not frightened by an unfamiliar "aunt".

In addition, it is easier to get used to a kindergarten for children,which are physically healthy. When a child does not get sick, nothing bothers him, then he feels much better emotionally too. After all, all the strengths of the body are not aimed at fighting the disease, but on getting used to the new situation.

If the child is at the time of admission to the kindergartenknows how to dress independently, walk on a pot, eat with a spoon and drink from a cup, then he will not have to quickly master all these necessary skills. And, hence, he will be less nervous and worried. If at the same time, the regime of the baby's day is similar to that of the kindergarten, it helps to minimize stress due to a change in the daily routine.

About a month before the visit to the children'sgarden You can already quietly "translate" it to the desired mode. Traditionally, children are brought to the kindergarten by 8 o'clock in the morning or at the latest at half past eight. Approximately at 8:40 - 8:45 children have breakfast, then play or are engaged in modeling, drawing, appliqué. About half past eleven the children go for a walk, at 12:15 - 12:30, lunch begins. From one o'clock to three - day sleep, at half past four - mid-afternoon snack. After an afternoon snack - an evening walk. If the child is ready in advance for such a routine, he can very quickly get used to the kindergarten.

Difficult to adapt to kindergarten children who are not accustomed to eating "in a sadikovski." However, if soups, porridges, cutlets or vegetables are used for a dinner, then he eats with greater eagerness.

The child's greatest fear in the adaptivea period is that no one will follow him. In no case, you can not speculate with this fear! You can not punish the child, threatening that you will take him from the kindergarten last or give it to the teacher. At first you need to try to pick up the baby early, do not be late.

Your mood is also very important. When the child sees that the parents themselves almost cry, leaving him in the kindergarten, he also starts to get nervous. Mom or dad should show all their appearance that they are calm, because they know that nothing can happen to the baby in the kindergarten.
