Others are cautiously looking toward the kindergarten, preferring to leave the child with a nanny. But anyway, a kindergarten is an important stage in the development of the child's social skills. There he learns to communicate with peers, comprehends the basics of counting and reading, learns independence and discipline.
That's just your crumbs, all this benefit is stillunknown. All he knows now is that my mother will not be around, there are many unfamiliar people and objects around. In a new situation, the kids are lost and get a lot of stress. It is necessary to help the child to settle in the kindergarten and then he can easily get used to the new situation.
Before you give the child to a kindergarten, remember that there are certain requirements for him. therefore it is better to start preparing for kindergarten in advance. It is necessary to gradually accustom your crumb to communication with other children and adults in the yard or for a walk. Let him learn to play in the sandbox, ride a swing, play on the playground.
In addition, your child needs to instill many skills before you give it to the kindergarten. In our time, from the kids going to the kindergarten, at least a skill is required eat with a spoon, independently dress and walk on a pot. If your child is still small and wearing diapers,with the kindergarten, no one will change it there. Teach your child to eat with a spoon, not spoiling or dragging out this process. Otherwise, the child will always be driven, he will be upset and refuse to go to the kindergarten.
It should be remembered that in kindergarten not necessarily there will be a menu that your baby prefers. If on any food or food the child has an allergy, then be sure to warn this is the personnel of the kindergarten, and in other casesgradually accustom the child is what is supposed to be. For example, do not arrange snacks between meals. The diet in most kindergartens is three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and snack. Instruct a child to eat at the same time, as in the kindergarten.
It will not hurt to teach your child to go to the pot not only when you want, but also in advance, for example, before a quiet hour, a walk.
When you bring a child to a kindergarten, try for a few weeks or even a month gradually accustom it to the kindergarten. For example, come with him for half a day, be with him for a walk and in a group.
Pay attention to the tutor. How does he behave with children and specifically with your child? Maybe your baby does not like a kindergarten, but his teacher. Then the problem can be solved by transferring the baby to another group.
Communicate with the child on the topic of kindergarten. It should be associated with the baby with positive emotions, so talk about the kindergarten calmly, confidently, with approving intonation.
Inform the child in advance, that he will remain in the kindergarten alone,without you. You can allow the child to bring his favorite toy to the kindergarten. Later, try to convince the toddler to leave the toy in the kindergarten, and to come play with it the next morning. Remember that children copy adults and are very cruel. They easily hang labels on each other. If you do not want your child to be known greedy or slander, explain to him what it is and why it is bad to do so. Warn him that his toys he will have to share with the rest of the children, so let him take with him those who do not mind him.
Pay attention, then whether your child is playing himself or in the company of other children. A child can suffer if his friendshipreject other children. Try to find out the reason for such an attitude. Here you can also talk with the tutor and talk with your child. In general, more often ask him about the kindergarten, about his affairs. Children like to imitate adults, so for example, you can tell the kid about your work, about how you spent the day.
And remember, the first trip to the kindergarten is a big load for the baby, both physical and psychological. Your child gets tired of a lot of new impressions and at home he can begin to be capricious. This should be treated with understanding. Try to behave as if you are already used to the fact that the baby goes to the kindergarten. If the child sees that you are nervous or worried, he too will be concerned. Try to give him as much attention, as much as before the kindergarten or even more. It is important during this period to let the child feel that his parents still love and care for him.
