What to do with "school start syndrome"
1. Start from the child's perspective
Some children have psychological problems, parents can not ask, can not ask a reason, this is mainly because children think that after communicating with parents will provoke criticism and other consequences, so they are unwilling to tell parents.
For this situation, parents need to abandon the shelf, make friends with their children, patiently inquire and listen to the pain and difficulties of their children, express sincere concern and understanding for their children, and carry out repeated guidance and encouragement, avoid all kinds of compulsive and punitive words and behaviors, and parents can also find relatives who have a common language with their children to help persuade.
2. Ask less "why?"
In addition to the fact that some children are reluctant to communicate with their parents, there are also children who do not know where the root of the problem is. At this time, parents should ask less "why" and do more guided questions.
3. Reduce recreational activities
During the holidays, children are overly relaxed, have more recreational activities, and have less mental activity, which will make it difficult for children to calm down after school starts.
Therefore, before and after the start of school, parents need to pay attention to reducing their children's entertainment time, especially electronic product time, and replace it with handicrafts and puzzle games to help children calm down, make the brain turn, and concentrate.
For children with little outdoor exercise, parents also need to gradually take their children to outdoor sports in an appropriate amount, so as not to cause discomfort to the children due to the sudden increase in outdoor activities after the start of school.
4. Encourage children to make a study plan
Parents can work with their children to formulate a plan for the new semester, complete the "channel switching" work from the holiday to the start of school during the discussion, and incorporate into the learning plan which books their children should read in the new semester, who to benchmark, which subjects need to be focused on improving their grades, and how parents can cooperate, so as to help children build confidence and eliminate the sense of loss after the holiday.
Parents themselves may also wish to make a family plan and study plan, buy some famous books and history, characters, inspirational books and other books to read with their children, which is not only conducive to cultivating children's interest in reading and humanistic qualities, but also let children feel the learning atmosphere of the family.
