A friend always asks, how old is it to send your child to kindergarten?
Send early fear that the child will not adapt to crying for a long time, send late afraid that the child will lag behind the same age.
I also had such a question, so I specifically consulted Aunt Liu, a kindergarten teacher who has worked in kindergarten for more than 30 years, who is a friend of my mother-in-law and is now retired.
Aunt Liu said that there are children who send early (2 years old) who cry for a semester, and there are also children who adapt quickly in a week or two; the same is true for those who send late (4 years old).
Therefore, Aunt Liu said that according to her experience with kindergarten children, age is only a regulation of kindergarten, whether children can go to kindergarten, not to see age, but to see whether children have these 3 abilities.
If parents are ready to let their children go to kindergarten and hope that their children can be better suited to kindergarten life in all aspects, then they must prepare in advance to give their children the ability of these 3 aspects.
Children's language skills
Express your needs
Language expression ability is the most basic, what needs children can clearly express to the teacher, I have seen a lot of children who have just gone to kindergarten, will not express their needs to the teacher, they will only cry when they encounter things, cry badly and will pee their pants, so that the teacher is also very anxious, do not know what the child wants to do, and can not help the child.
Some children are afraid to say, some children are late, speaking is not clear, can not fully express their meaning, but as long as the child can briefly say two or three words, the teacher can infer the child's meaning, so be sure to teach the child what to say.
This also requires parents to pay attention to, usually at home, let the child learn to meet the situation clearly, do not use crying to achieve the purpose of meeting their own needs, and when the child cries, parents do not easily meet him.
Learn polite language
Polite children teachers and children like to say hello when they meet people, and they will say thank you, sorry and other polite language.
The child's self-care ability
Eat by yourself, drink your own water, go to the toilet and take off your pants by yourself.
If the child can not eat alone, drink more water, eat badly in the kindergarten and easy to get sick, the kindergarten teacher will also help teach the child at the beginning, but after a period of time, if the child can not eat independently, go to the toilet, it may be discouraged.
And the child's inability to take care of himself will also affect the child's self-confidence, because other children can do it themselves, he alone will not, may be ridiculed by other children, affecting the child's mood in kindergarten.
You think, children can't take care of themselves, how to learn other new skills?
So, don't spoil the child, generally the child around 2 years old can eat and dress independently.
The child's ability to adapt to group life
After the child enters the kindergarten, he begins to live a collective life, to learn to get along with the children, to be able to communicate with the children, to mingle together, if the child is not polite, does not follow the rules, grab the toy at every turn, push other children, slowly the child will be isolated, no one wants to play with him.
If the child is isolated in kindergarten, he will slowly become inferior.
Therefore, when parents take their children out to play, such as going to the square or amusement park, let the children learn to understand politeness and have rules, such as queuing up for slides, queuing for swings, etc.
Encourage your child to say hello to other children, make friends, and be able to integrate into the games that everyone plays together.
The ability to integrate into the group and play happily with other children is also very important, which is directly related to the child's interpersonal interaction and mood in kindergarten.
epilogue
Children go to kindergarten is the beginning of leaving their parents to enter the society, if the child is centered everywhere at home, spoiling the child, the child will have a variety of adaptations in kindergarten, so in daily life, parents must consciously cultivate the child's ability in these aspects, not only for kindergarten, but also to let the child grow better.
To raise children, we must be willing to let go, after all, children need to live independently without their parents.
