Let teachers do what they should do, don't catch up with the "fashion", do less or do not "follow the trend".
Kindergarten children are about to graduate from kindergarten, and babies will soon be promoted to primary school. As a parent, how can you help your child adapt to primary school life and smoothly transition from kindergarten to primary school life?
Xiaobian has sorted out some information about the connection between young children and young children, which can be used as a reference for parents and friends.
Topic 1: What attitude should parents hold towards the articulation of young children?
Parents should have a positive attitude and a strategic approach.
The first is to stimulate children's enthusiasm for primary school. Don't use words such as "going to school will suffer" to scare children, but to say some words of appreciation and encouragement, such as: "You have really grown up" and "You are becoming more and more like a primary school student", which will make children feel that going to primary school is very honorable and proud.
The second is to pay full attention to the development of children. In general, whether a child is interested in learning, whether his life is regular, and whether he is gregarious in the group often affects his adaptability after entering school. You need to always pay attention to your child's development in these aspects, so that they can gradually form a good learning interest, behavior habits, etc.
Topic 2: What issues should parents focus on?
The following contents can be used as a reference for you to analyze and understand your child's situation.
(1) Are children full of expectations and yearning for entering primary school?
(2) Can the child get along with the companions around him?
(3) Will the child be depressed after leaving the family and entering an unfamiliar environment?
(4) Can the child naturally interact with people other than his family?
(5) Is the child interested in reading and can he answer relevant questions?
(6) Can the child independently tie shoes, wear a scarf, pack up toys, and so on?
(7) Will the child take care of himself, such as: actively drinking water, putting on and undressing according to hot and cold, etc.?
(8) Will the child repeat a simple message?
(9) Can the child skillfully use paper, paint, scissors, glue, watercolor pens and other items?
(10) Will the child be able to remember two or three tasks at the same time and perform them?
(11) Can the child say his or her home address and the name and telephone number of his family?
(12) Will the child admit that he does not understand and take the initiative to ask for help?
The task to be completed by parents to step on the rhythm of the "learning preparation period" is a process. In general, it can be divided into preschool, middle school and after school, and should pay close attention to preschool, pay attention to school, and extend after school.
Topic 3: How can parents guide their children's work and rest rules?
Regular work and rest is also an important aspect of helping children establish a sense of rules and adapt to social life.
First, gradually help children establish the concept of time. Before your child does something (drinking water, going to the toilet, doing homework, etc.), make him fully prepared and identify the time that needs to be completed. Once started, excuses are not allowed to procrastinate (e.g., walking back and forth). In addition, you can prepare a small timed alarm clock for your child, set a good time limit, let the child self-supervise, and control the time by himself.
Second, arrange the child's relatively stable work and rest time. Parents should work with their children to make a schedule, paste it in a place where the child can see, and ask the child to do the corresponding things according to the schedule.
Third, the combination of orderly work and rest with flexible adjustment. After the child enters the primary school, there will be many unexpected changes in the schedule, in order to enhance the child's adaptability, parents can consciously arrange one or two things that break the conventional time, such as: going out together at night to watch the night view, watching a ball game together on a rest day, etc. If the work and rest time is strictly and rigidly adhered to, the child's adaptability will be greatly reduced.
Topic 4: What self-care skills should parents cultivate in their children?
Self-care ability is a necessary part of the preparation for admission. Before enrolling, children need to take care of themselves include:
(1) Be able to organize your own belongings and toys in an orderly manner.
(2) Use good things to return to place in time and keep them tidy.
(3) Be able to properly handle things such as eating, washing, and excretion.
(4) Be able to help your family and do the housework within your ability.
(5) Plan and arrange your own time and activities reasonably.
Topic 5: How do parents communicate with teachers?
You may wish to take the following methods to communicate with your teacher.
(1) Maintain regular contact with teachers through various methods. In addition to using parent-teacher meetings and teachers' home visits to communicate individually with teachers, you can also use notes, phone calls, text messages, networks and other forms to exchange information with teachers in a timely manner, so that both sides can better understand some of the children's performance in the family and school in recent stages, and you can also make reasonable suggestions for teachers' education and teaching methods and school management measures.
(2) Objectively reflect the child's performance at home to the teacher. Your child's performance at home is often the most authentic, and you can communicate appropriately with your teacher about your child's habits such as learning, eating, playing, and resting at home, as well as some of your thoughts and practices in recounting to your family about what happened at school.
(3) Listen to the teacher's evaluation of the child, and correctly view the teacher's criticism of the child.
Topic 6: How do parents deal with the relationship between teachers and students?
As a parent, you can try to do it from the following aspects.
(1) Listen to your child's story. Children get along with teachers and classmates at school every day, and they want to share big things and small things with you at home. At this time, you should pay attention to listening to your child's story, because this is the best way to understand your child's learning life in school, you share good news or interesting things with your child, let your child feel the joy of campus life, and thus deepen your closeness with the teacher.
(2) Communicate more with teachers. Schools and families are consistent in the goal of educating children, and both hope that children can thrive, but due to time and space constraints, schools and families are prone to differences in the ways and methods of educating children, making it difficult for children to adapt.
Here, you are required to communicate more with teachers and discuss the concept of education together. If you have any doubts about the teacher's approach, you can frankly propose and discuss it, so as to reach a consensus. Parents should not be worried about the handling of this problem, which is easy to misunderstand and counterproductive.
(3) Do not be too close to the teacher. There are many parents who hope to enhance their relationship with teachers by giving gifts and inviting guests to dinner to obtain special care from teachers for their children. The parents' mood is understandable, but such an approach is not enough.
Parents should not only pay attention to the "early stage" of their children facing schooling, but also pay attention to the "whole period" of their children's growth process, not only pay attention to their children's "academics", but also pay attention to their children's "habits".
Topic 7: How do parents develop their children's self-confidence?
Self-confidence is not innate, but is gradually cultivated in daily life and study. As a parent, we must create conditions for the cultivation of children's self-confidence.
First of all, don't make comparisons, especially if you compare your child's weaknesses with those of other children. There are no two identical leaves in the world, nor two identical fingerprints, and the world of a thousand people is incredible. Every child is the only one in this world, because their world is rich and colorful.
Second, you need to be good at discovering your child's strengths and being bold in your motivation. Every child has strengths, you may wish to look for it in your daily life, from the small things that are not conspicuous, and to tell your children bluntly that "something, you are doing a great job".
Third, create opportunities and accumulate self-confidence. You may wish to design and carry out the game activities that your child is good at at home, such as some parent-child games with your child, setting some small goals that can be achieved, so that your child can fully enjoy the joy of success after completing the task, so that he can feel that he is OK in his heart.
Topic 8: What learning habits should parents cultivate in their children?
Learning habits generally refer to behaviors and habits related to learning that are governed by good psychological qualities. Good study habits start with learning norms.
For a child who is just starting out, you should pay special attention to some of his habits that are conducive to learning and school life, such as:
(1) The habit of listening and asking questions;
(2) The habit of expression and speech;
(3) The habit of reading and writing;
(4) the habit of remembering and thinking;
(5) The custom of discipline and punctuality;
(6) Habits of cooperation and sharing.
I believe that parents will also agree with the cultivation of these basic learning habits of their children.
Topic 9: How can parents develop their children's homework habits?
Paying attention to developing good homework habits when children are just entering school is important for children to develop a sense of responsibility, a sense of task, and other important qualities. To this end, you should not only care about the cultivation of children's good homework habits, but also try to cultivate the fa as much as possible. You might as well start with a few basic aspects:
(1) Create an environment for children to work quietly. Prepare a study space with tables and chairs, lamps, small bookshelves, and more. Children can do their own thing in this "area" when they get home.
(2) Pay attention to let the child settle down to do homework, not to eat for a while, watch TV for a while, do this for a while, and do that for a while. Make it a habit to concentrate on your homework.
(3) Remind the child to complete the homework within a certain period of time to help him gradually form a concept of time. The average homework time for first-graders is about half an hour, and most children are able to complete it within this allotted time.
(4) It is necessary to help children develop the habit of working first and then playing after returning home under normal circumstances. Remind your child to firmly remember that doing homework is a task that students must complete, and when the task is completed, it will be easier and happier to do other things.
Parents should take the initiative to cooperate with their children's growth from all aspects of life, study, body and mind, and help them successfully pass the transition period of early childhood.
