Kindergarten or home education?

Earlier, our mothers or grandmothers even doubtedsimilar did not arise. Definitely - in the kindergarten. And very often children were given to a kindergarten in a year and a half. Now modern parents have a choice. The tendency to leave the child at home education has appeared, in many respects, because kindergartens do not cope with their task.

Undoubtedly, the main advantage of the kindergarten was and remains socialization. The child is to live in society and from the veryhe must learn the norms of social behavior. In kindergarten, the child communicates with peers, with educators and nannies. He learns to respect the elders, obey them, fulfill instructions and demands, and observe discipline. All this is an extremely necessary skill for social behavior.

In addition, a kindergarten is also a mode. Usually the daily routine of the child in the kindergarten includesin itself: breakfast, occupation, walk before dinner, lunch, daytime sleep, afternoon snack and evening walk. And if the dinner for the children in the kindergarten should be exactly 12, then it is exactly at 12, no deviations.

But minuses of raising a child in a kindergarten are also very significant. A child in a kindergarten is more prone to various infectious diseases. The psychological climate in the kindergarten is not always favorable. Even a good educator is not able to work individually with twenty or thirty children at once. For someone did not notice, someone did not pay enough attention ...

At the same time, the work of a child care teacherpreschool institution - now one of the lowest paid. This has led to the fact that there are practically no truly talented and professional educators, and the new generation does not strive to master such an unpopular profession.

Modern parents are simply afraid to givea child in a kindergarten, because low-skilled teachers do not teach a good baby, and even the methods of their impact on children are not terribly pedagogical. There are even cases when children are beaten, insulted.

In addition, the number of domestic kindergartenssignificantly reduced due to their privatization and re-profiling. Therefore, often even those wishing to give a child to a kindergarten, parents are forced to stand in line for a long time in the kindergarten and therefore are engaged in teaching the child at home.

And what is good about home education? First, only home education can be completely individual. After all, the training program and the daily routine inkindergarten is designed for an average child, but does not take into account the individual characteristics and inclinations of the child. At home, it is possible to develop in a child those qualities and skills that, in the opinion of parents, are most necessary for him, for example, by emphasizing the disclosure of the child's creative abilities.

At home the child is under reliable supervision. Parents always control where the child is and what he does. The quality of the baby's food at home is also much better than in the kindergarten. This is especially important for children prone to food allergies.

If the child is on home education, then he is much less likely to pick up lice from the peers, an infection.

With home education, parents can establish a regime of classes, walks and meals that takes into account the individual characteristics of the child.

But, at the same time, some The advantages of home education can turn into minuses. There are certain diseases that are easierborne in childhood. Chickenpox, rubella, mumps ... At an older age, these diseases can give great complications. Therefore, the immunity that a child acquires when communicating with other children is very valuable.

Individual treatment is, of course,well, but if the baby is not taught beforehand to certain restrictions, then it will be difficult for him to adapt to the school in the future. After all, the school will have to walk not when it is convenient for the child, but on a strict schedule. The later "breakage" begins in the child, the more difficult this period will be.

To be raised at home, the childhas acquired the same social skills as in the kindergarten, parents will have to exert maximum efforts. What happens in the kindergarten by itself, at home requires a certain training and perseverance from the parents. Communicating among themselves in the kindergarten, children learn to share toys with each other, give in, make compromises, sympathize. They learn to moderate their desires and their egocentrism.

If the child is on home education,then he learns these skills somewhat later. So, scientists noticed that if a child goes to kindergarten, then by the age of 4 his egocentrism is greatly reduced or even disappears. At home, this happens only to 6 years, and for some children, egocentrism persists and up to 7-8 years.

So, after all, what is better for the child? Kindergarten or home education? As you can see, both approaches to preschool education have both pluses and minuses. What is right for your child, you can only decide. Recently, some kind of compromise between the kindergarten and the house is gaining in popularity. Up to four years the child is on home education, and from about 3 years he visits several times a week developing circles. And after 4 years, such a child turns into a kindergarten. Such the approach retains the advantages both systems of child upbringing.
