It is easy to go in the first class
FIRST CLASS EMIRATES FLIGHT! ($20,000 Seat)
As a mom already quite successful and held a first grader, I would like to share my observations, experiences, advice and wishes about how to make the process of adaptation to the school the child has passed the most easily and quickly.
Yes, of course, everything is very individual in this matter, and depends on many factors: the nature, the child's temperament, characteristics of education, psychological climate in the family ...
someone "will join" in the team and in the learning process with ease, and someone this may take a lot of time, effort and worry. So:
POKEMON GO - Catching Pokemon In 1st Class
First of all, you should create a positive image for the child's school. This helped us a lot my two nieces and a nephew who are older, and go to the same school in which we have gathered. In a relaxed atmosphere, while playing games and socializing, they excitedly told my son, what is it, this school ... there as well and wondering what their teacher that is there at all, what they were doing, where walking and so on. In general, the age of five, my son is already firmly know that the school is interesting, and that he really wants to. By the way, children's story of the game is also very well be "about the school." This will help create the image of a child's school, understand and accept the rules of conduct in it. In addition, there are many good and kind of works about the school - stories, poems, songs, cartoons and children's films ...
In addition, it is desirable that the beginning of school, the child has some kind of positive motivation. In other words, the child must know clearly, and what did he do to go to school and learn. In our case, in addition to the answers and explanations for parents, a great role was played by "authoritative opinion" another son, who is a year older than he, has a very pragmatic turn of mind, and "all-all" know. It is simple and accessible, once told a friend, for what he is learning ... they say if well and carefully to study, to learn new things, then it will be easy to get into a good college and get a good job.
Also, the child does not hurt to get acquainted with the school in advance. To a first grader went not into the unknown to him, sometimes frightening and hostile place, namely in "their" school, understandable and familiar. To do this, it is quite possible to take the child with you when you go to draw up documents for school, and in the process make a small tour. Tell and show him in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, where everything is, and what is intended ... there is a dining room, there is a toilet, and here sports hall, cloakroom, office of the director and other ...
It will be nice if at the school, which will go first-grader, will learn his friends, relatives, classmates from kindergarten or friends of his yard or home. Then, of course, the process of getting used to a new place and the new conditions will be more simple. In our case, it was very good that nearly half of the class was composed of children who knew each other well on the courses of preparation for school. It is also very nice and happy my son was found on the reverse of the elder brother, or just to say hello in the dining room with the sisters.
I think that should also be together with the child to buy everything you need for the school, so that he could feel its importance and involvement in this process. Let him choose his pencil case, pens, pencils and other small things. In our case, all things were "decorated" their favorite superheroes, which will surely come to help if something happens. We would like to address the issue of visiting the "lessons to prepare for school." To be honest, I do not agree with this approach, however, modern life conditions and requirements for the future student skills are such that these sessions are usually needed. Therefore, in our family, it was decided to attend such sessions. And not so much for the purpose of learning to read, to read or write, and more to ensure that the child understood the rules of conduct at school and accustomed to what is a lesson, and how to behave in the classroom, as well as change. And, of course, in order to meet and make friends with their future classmates, your teacher, your class and your school.
In the first month of school, when everything seemed to be going well, son suddenly became nervous, restless and irritable. For an adult amounts grader loads may seem minor and not serious, but in fact they can cause severe mental and physical exhaustion at the little man. As soon as we only return naps, my child again became calm and friendly. With the need for an afternoon nap he easily accepted, arguing that by the fact that "he is an athlete, and he needed to rest before training."
Around the same reason, to avoid the stress and fatigue that the child had time to do all that is necessary to his day was intense and interesting, we have made together with the child the day mode. And I have been made only a few "unconditional" items: climbing, hang up, nap, time to do homework ... all the other "things" son filled himself, only consulting with me as necessary. There was approximately and recorded, for example, "guljanie", "computer" and the like. Our mode of the day turned out bright, vivid and colorful. In addition, it has helped my child to easily and accurately navigate the days of the week and time. Now his son, looking at its own "plan" could easily say, for example, that today is Tuesday, and he "exercises" in seven.
I should add that a clear and short period of time (30 minutes) has been allocated to perform household tasks us. This was done deliberately, especially in order to develop in a child's "useful habits" to learn and to perform the task, and that lessons harmoniously and unobtrusively entered in the usual way and the rhythm of life of the child, and not perceived as "hard labor." Unfortunately, I often hear such arguments (which fundamentally do not agree), that, well, now you're a disciple, and you do not have time for games and walks ...
I believe that in elementary school sometimes just need to do the lessons with the child. I emphasize: not in place, namely together. When you perform some tasks sometimes just enough to be near, to help with advice or leading questions, and some have it disassembled and thoroughly "chew" ... I think that definitely need to develop the child's independence, to maintain confidence in their abilities. Most praise for successes, talk about mistakes gently, and that can prevent them from anyone and not to be afraid to correct them. For the development of independence I sometimes had to go to the little tricks: to start doing the job together, I suddenly "hot" went under the pretext, for example, to check how sleeping baby, certainly in front of this praise and cheer up her son, and said to him that is kept very ... very often I was then a check made.
It is also necessary to explain to the child the algorithm of some actions that we, adults seem to be something "granted". The child must be taught exactly the sequence itself, "scheme". How to solve the problem, how to learn a poem, create a plan of the story ...
For example, "we take the blog, read the task, then take a textbook open on page ... read the task, draw up a scheme, write a decision ..., etc." Very soon the child can easily get himself to independently carry out many tasks.
Be sure to take an interest in the child's school life. However, such interest should not develop into a "interrogation". Quite simply, for example, on the way home to see what was new on the "outside world", or ask for lunch, they ate at school, or in between times to ask how his friend Cyril. Quite often just catch the timbre and tone of voice, your child's mood, to understand that everything is in order. About all the new and interesting son often tells himself with great desire.
It is timely to overcome the difficulties in learning. We must remember that retrain much more difficult than to teach. In principle, almost all items are my child easily. However, for example, with the reading at some point we have had difficulties. The child read well, but often have to slip the words "do not want", "do not like", "not interested", "boring". My task in this case, it is not to force and persuade, that "it is necessary" to read, and interest, to show that reading - is exciting and fun. I've read aloud to the child, we read "for his roles" and "on line", I tried to choose to read such works, stories and characters that certainly would be of interest to his son. Also in this issue we have helped a good audiobook that son listened with pleasure. A little trick: you can start with reading something very interesting, and then "to absent himself on important matters." The child obsessed with interest, what happened next, be sure to continue reading. It is also with great pleasure, desire, and my son the importance of reading aloud to his younger brother.
Including in order to overcome difficulties in learning, it is necessary "to take the allies' teacher. I would say that we were very lucky with the teacher. She is very attentive, kind and sympathetic, moderately severe and demanding, with an individual approach to each child. Teacher - our son with a friend and helper. Not abusing attention, you can safely go to the teacher after class to ask about the successes and difficulties of the child. If necessary, if you have any questions, problems, difficulties or concerns, you can also call or write a message. For example, at some point, my son suddenly arose such a period that he became very worried and experience to answer at the blackboard. The child blushed, turned pale, confused and forgot everything, and at the same time very upset. Without releasing the problem to chance, we, along with her teacher decided. Gently and carefully, consistently and gradually. Creating such "a situation of success", which are gradually added to the child confidence. And very soon we all forget about this problem.
As a rule, teachers and psychologists recommend for a time to refrain from visiting other classes, sections or circles. However, I think that this rule applies to a greater extent for those occupations and hobbies that will be new to the child, who appeared in his life recently or even simultaneously with the school. In this case, they really can "reset" the child to be too much for his physical and mental capacities. In our case, stop sports training, we did not. The child involved in sports for a long time, it's his favorite thing. And training is a kind of "safety valve" for him, the opportunity to change the type of activity, throw out the accumulated energy.
The first year of school, in my opinion, is very important. He, I think, can be easily compared with the first year of baby's life. Indeed, in many respects on how the introduction will take place, "addiction" to the school, and the whole first year, everything depends on the further successful schooling. It is in the first class of the little man, first of all, to "learn to learn". And we must try to ensure that the school learning does not become boring and unloved "obyazalovke", and it was really interesting, necessary and favorite thing!
