What should children do to prepare for kindergarten?
It's almost the day of kindergarten, and I don't know how many families will put on a "bitter drama" by then.
Recently, I saw an interesting attempt at a kindergarten: through "brave nights", children develop a sense of independence.

However, the psychological construction and preparation before the child enters the kindergarten need the personal participation of our parents.

One month before entering the park: Preparation of medical examination documents
First of all, after receiving the admission notice of the kindergarten, parents need to take the baby to the maternal and child health care hospital or the designated hospital of the kindergarten for physical examination, and after the physical examination, the physical examination report will be submitted to the school according to the requirements of the school.
Some hospitals can make appointments through the official number, and have entered the stage of centralized physical examination of kindergartens, and you can make an appointment in advance according to the requirements of various places.

In addition, if the child has not been vaccinated, parents must take the baby to make up for the vaccination in time! Otherwise, it will affect the admission to the park!
After the physical examination, prepare the items in the picture below!

After doing this, don't forget to care for the young heart of the baby!
Mental preparation before entering the park
Because the baby has never been to kindergarten, it is understandable to feel anxious and afraid of an unfamiliar environment, and parents should help the baby alleviate this psychological anxiety through different methods.
1. Preconceived kindergarten concepts
Parents can choose when the child is in a good mood, consciously compile the kindergarten into some stories to tell the child, so that the child first contact the concept of "kindergarten" thinks that it is a good place for a child to love to go, but parents must not rush to mention the matter of kindergarten.
Don't say to the baby, "If you don't obey again, I'll send you to kindergarten!" Otherwise the child will decide that kindergarten is a terrible place.

2. Borrow picture books and get to know kindergarten in advance
There are many excellent picture books about kindergarten, choose some, such as "I Love Kindergarten", "A Day in Kindergarten", "I am the Best in Kindergarten", etc., read before the child goes to kindergarten, which is very helpful to alleviate the child's separation anxiety.
Through children's theme picture books, children can know: what is the process of going to kindergarten, what they will do in kindergarten, what problems they may encounter, and how to deal with it.

3. Take your child to visit the kindergarten to establish a sense of anticipation in kindergarten
Generally, before the child officially enters the kindergarten, the kindergarten will arrange for parents to accompany the child in advance.
With parents in the company, children will not be so repulsive to unfamiliar environments.
Parents can also get acquainted with the teacher to help the child enhance the sense of closeness with the teacher and let the child know that the teacher can also bring him a sense of security and happiness.
In the practice of visiting, the children's intuitive and beautiful feelings about the kindergarten help to psychologically yearn for kindergarten life and shorten the distance between the kindergarten and the child.
4. Before entering the kindergarten, you can help your child find a friend
When visiting the kindergarten, parents can find opportunities to familiarize themselves with children in the same class; Find a classmate of your child in the community or near your home, get them familiar with each other, and play together often.
It can reduce the child's anxiety due to the unfamiliarity of the kindergarten environment.
Enter the park simulation game to play
Two weeks before entering the kindergarten, parents should not only check whether the school supplies are ready, but also simulate the routine and situation after entering the kindergarten with their children, so as to help the children better adapt to the rhythm of work and rest after entering the kindergarten, and at the same time improve the children's expectations for entering the kindergarten in the sense of ritual.
1. Simulate kindergarten language
Parents should teach their children to know their name, and know the answer when the teacher calls him, and let the baby know how old he is, whether he is a boy or a girl.

Some parents will worry that it is difficult for the baby to integrate into the group life when she goes to kindergarten, in fact, as long as the child is taught basic social etiquette, they are not afraid that the baby will not be popular!

According to the above picture, parents can usually play and interact with the baby at home, so that the baby can learn and master in a fun situation!
2. Simulate kindergarten schedule
As long as the children's work and rest time is carefully adjusted, they will soon be able to achieve regular and orderly.
You can set the time when the child falls asleep at night, wake up regularly in the morning, and give a small reward if the baby is perfectly coordinated.
If the baby is cheating, then give corresponding punishments, such as delaying the time to go out to play, or canceling the activity that the baby likes once, so that he knows that he should abide by the rest time next time.
Remind the baby to drink water, go to the toilet, do sports, and read picture books at a fixed time, so that the baby can adapt to the fixed schedule of the kindergarten.

3. Simulate a lesson time to do the same thing
After the baby enters the kindergarten, how to maintain the concentration of a class "super long", and honestly sit on the chair without walking around and making noise?
It is best to consciously choose games that exercise concentration, such as playing with blocks, Lego, etc.
4. Simulate kindergarten eating scenes
When eating, don't let the child pick up the dishes themselves, but eat the food in their own bowl and eat it all!

5. Learn to wait
After the baby enters the kindergarten, living a collective life, nothing can be satisfied at the first time, it is necessary to abide by certain orders and rules, and waiting in line is an important ability.
Parents should consciously exercise their babies, any needs may not be met immediately, and they must learn to wait.
Going to kindergarten is the first time that children officially leave home and take the first step into society, the first time they leave the arms of their parents and live a group life alone in a strange environment!
Keda suggests that parents should learn to let go, don't be overly anxious, so that the baby can bravely move forward and grow up better!
