"One day late is one year late, and one year late is every year." This is a common idea of many parents who want to let their children go to school in the morning, if the child is a year late, the corresponding graduation will be late, the job is also late, too much loss, and learning in the morning has won more time for the future.
For the same class of children, the age gap in a few months or more than half a year, reflected in the child's physical fitness, emotional intelligence and learning ability, self-care ability, will be a non-negligible difference, teachers will prefer strong learning ability, obedience, can live self-care children.
How do I go to elementary school? I believe that many parents have the same confusion.
Let's take a look at Zhuo Li, one of the top ten star principals in the country and the honorary principal of Beijing Shijia Primary School, how to say.
Whether it is good or not to rush to enroll
"Hello parents:
At present, our primary school enrollment age is 6 years old, specifically, children who have reached the age of 6 after September 1 of the previous year and August 31 of the year of enrollment, of which September 1 and August 31 are included.
Why 6 years old, not 5 years old, not 7 years old?
Because the overall characteristics of 6-year-olds show that they have the initial ability to learn and have begun to learn systematically.
When giving birth to a child, many mothers will find ways to even use medical means to advance the child's birthday to before September 1, so that the child can enter primary school a year in advance.
I would like to emphasize here that you must be at least 6 years old and not rush to run.
You know, the difference between newborns is calculated by day, the difference between infant children is calculated by month, and the difference between children in early childhood is calculated by quarter. Even in childhood, the six-month age difference is very evident in children's behavior.
In terms of universality, children born in autumn and winter can understand the content once, and children born in spring and summer may need to do it twice more; children in autumn and winter can easily achieve a sports score, and children in spring and summer may have to practice several times.
It can be said that children born in the spring and summer are relatively disadvantaged in the actual lower grade learning.
Moreover, the children who use various methods to enter school early and run away often become "small characters" in the class, always love to play with children who are older than them, and over time develop a herd mentality, lack of leadership or management ability, such a lack often takes a long time to appear, but the impact is irreparable.
If your child is born in the autumn, I think this is a gift from fate to the child, his behavioral ability and mind are the ones who have been most fully developed among children in the same level, and he may easily enter the primary school stage. ”
After reading it, the good mother felt that what she said was too right, we parents, why should we take back this gift in one fell swoop?
The benefits of going to school one year later
There is a famous experiment in the field of psychology, that is, the twin ladder climbing experiment of psychologist Gessel.
In the experiment, one of the twins, from the 48th week of his birth, did ten minutes of ladder climbing training every day, for six consecutive weeks, and by 52 weeks, he was able to climb 5 stairs skillfully.
During this time, the other twin did not train, but did not start practicing climbing stairs until he was 53 weeks old, and as a result, he was able to climb to the top of the stairs two weeks later.
From this point of view, premature training, like step-by-step training, can eventually meet the ideal requirements, but it takes more time and more effort.
Children who go to school one year later have a more mature mind than other children, and it does not take too much time to adapt to school life, and the behavioral abilities shown in all aspects can become a plus in their teachers' hearts.
Comprehension ability and self-discipline will be better than that of young children, and strong ability to absorb knowledge will make it easier to become a child with excellent grades in the class.
Children enter the primary school stage in advance, more or less because of the results of catching up and have no confidence, late enrollment in the class is older, but it is easy to build self-confidence.
This kind of self-confidence will be more flexible and rational in learning or handling things, which will bring children self-confidence and calmness, which will be a valuable asset that will affect their lives.
Boys should go to school a year later
Boys are relatively active, and they are not attentive, impatient, and a year late in school, these deficiencies will be greatly improved.
For example, a friend's 5-and-a-half-year-old son, he is very shy, and even feels that it is a shame to be held by a girl, but a year later, he not only happily accepted to play with girls, but also very actively chose to pass through the door of the little girl's house every time he went to eat ice cream, saying that he hoped to have the opportunity to meet the little girl.
For example, in a year's time, the child's height will also be very different, in the primary school years, the height advantage may be his leadership advantage, if coupled with psychological full preparation, the child can basically learn happily in school, can easily establish their own small circle, and the teacher also establishes a close relationship.
Thus a virtuous circle ensures that his study life in school is smooth and beautiful.
The year of evening school
What can be done
Parents can't let go of children who postpone school for a year, and there are many things that can be done in this free year.
Develop some good habits for your child
Politeness, concentration, time-cherishing, responsible, attentive... Children with these qualities can adapt to school life faster.
Let the child learn some abilities, not specific knowledge
Express ideas correctly, discern colors and shapes, and learn to discover and explore.
Understand the concept of self-protection
Know what is dangerous, what can be done and what cannot be done; start by sorting out your own small things, urge your child to do their own things, and learn to take responsibility.
Long Yingtai wrote in the book "Child, You Take Your Time":
I, sitting on the stone steps in the slanting sun, looked at this child with clear eyes and concentrated on one thing; yes, I was willing to wait a lifetime for him to tie this bow with ease, with his 5-year-old fingers.
Growing up is a long process, and parents should see that there is an education that allows children to become children and let them grow up slowly.
Everything is sometimes, education is the same, let everything happen at the right time, do the right thing at the right time, in order to lay the foundation for future physical and mental health.
