Parents who have children who are about to enter the first grade, do you have a lot of worries about their children not being able to adapt to the first grade learning life that is completely different from kindergarten? Are you worried that your child will not be able to keep up with their studies? Worried that the teacher will not be able to take good care of the child? Worried that your child won't make friends?
All these worries are normal, because at this time, we are also the parents of primary school students for the first time. Along with the growth of children, parents must also grow and learn to be a "parent of primary school students".
Zhuo Li, the author of "Welcome to the First Grade", the lifelong honorary principal of Beijing Shijia Primary School, said: "Primary school is the foundation of life; first grade is the foundation of primary school; dear young parents, please be solemn!" In the book, he gave reminders and suggestions to new parents in all aspects, helping parents to correctly understand how to pay attention to their children's first grade and how to do it. Here, Panda Jun combined his own experience in the first grade of his baby, and in the key points set out by Principal Zhuo Li for parents, he carried out the key points of the 10 key points of the enrollment stage, hoping to help the parents of the first grade successfully pass through this important stage of their children's lives.
(1) What is the most important task in the first grade?
Loved going to school!
At the beginning of the first grade, the thing we have to do well is to let the child love school from the bottom of his heart and like to go to school. This year, it is very powerful to be able to do this thing.
(2) Help your child like the teacher
I believe that every parent has such an experience when they are students: which teacher they like, they will listen to his class very carefully, and it is easy to learn this course.
For children who are just entering the school, like the teacher, the teacher's lectures will become interesting. Parents communicate more with their children, the teachers that children like, and encourage children to keep; if they find that the children do not like which teacher, then they must find a way to find out the reasons, to help the children improve their relationship with the teacher, and find ways to let the children like the teacher (Panda Jun personally feels that at least he cannot dislike and hate).
(3) Two punctualities are important!
Children are not late for school, and pick up children on time! This is important for children to develop self-confidence and a sense of identity.
When you're in elementary school, don't think it's important to be a few minutes late. If the child is late, under the attention of the whole class and the teacher, how uncomfortable he is, and he has to spend time to slowly keep up with the teacher's progress, and he will be very passive all day.
Pick up your kids from school and don't be late! "Early pick-up" and "late pick-up", the psychological feelings of children who have just entered the school are very different, the child has been in the new environment and new school for a day, may be tired and hungry, as soon as you walk out of the school door, you can see the smiling faces of your parents, which is a great joy for the children, and the children will often immediately pick up their spirits and share a day of campus life with their parents and parents. If other children are picked up and the parents are late, the child's mood will be in the waiting to doubt the parents' importance of themselves, worried about whether the parents will forget to pick themselves up, these ideas can make the child dejected.
(4) Resolutely guarantee 10 hours of sleep
At 9 p.m., against all odds, let your child go to bed.
When the first grade first year is in school, parents often post photos of their children falling asleep in various positions as soon as they get home, on the sofa, at the desk, and on the bed, holding an Unfinished English book or an unfinished homework.
Funny is funny, which also shows that children have to finish a day of classes, which is really tiring. Most primary schools also do not have a nap link, lack of sleep, and children are particularly prone to drowsiness and energy in the afternoon.
Washing up early, reading with mom and dad, and going to bed at 9 o'clock is a particularly important habit to develop in the first grade.
(5) Who is in charge of the child's homework?
Among the parents, there are more willing ones than the ones with more time.
Most of today's families are dual-time workers, and there are also some families with full-time mothers with babies, who usually default to more flexible time and more to manage their children's learning. But the better selection criterion is: who is more willing to manage the child. Because of the will, it will be easier to find management methods, will spend more time observing children, will have more patience to communicate with children, and help children summarize regular skills. If it happens that the party who prefers to do this is more busy and the time is not allowed, then one party can make a plan, the other party can implement it, and constantly adjust until it finds a model that suits their family.
Children's education should be the joint efforts of parents and children, and now we often ridicule "widowed parenting" and so on may be more for fathers, so that fathers know the importance of participating in education, and invest in it together, which must be better for the overall development of children.
(6) In the first grade, children should be encouraged to strive for 100 points
The first grade is when the child establishes the initial concept of "going to school", if you tell the child that the score is not important, as long as you work hard. But what does "effort" mean? This is not something that can be understood by telling a child.
The knowledge to be mastered in the first grade is relatively small, and the difficulty is not great, and it is easier for children to get 100 points by listening carefully and carefully. After a quiz, there are many 100 points in the class, so the good results at this stage are not easy to make children proud. A score of 100 in the first grade allows children to experience the joy of success and be willing to learn.
In the process of getting 100 points, children need to overcome small problems such as sloppiness, anxiety, and lack of serious writing, and if these small problems cannot be overcome, we will see children continue to bring these problems to the second grade or even the upper grade. Developing a good habit of being careful and careful in the first grade is of great benefit to future learning.
(7) Encourage children to speak more
Developing the habit of listening carefully to lectures in class brings benefits that cannot be made up for by many training courses. Children are small, it is difficult to concentrate for a long time, encourage children to speak more in class, dare to ask questions, can help children think positively with the teacher, so as to cultivate classroom concentration.
(8) Seize the opportunity to communicate quickly with the teacher
There is a popular saying among parents: if the teacher does not look for you, the child will not have a big problem. As a teacher, if the child has any serious problems, the teacher will definitely take the initiative to communicate with the parents.
As a parent, want to understand the situation of the child in the school, where you need to cooperate, if you need to quickly communicate with the teacher, the better time is to pick up the child after school, the child has been picked up almost, the teacher has some vacancies, then you can simply understand the child's situation at school at the right time.
If you need a long period of communication, it is recommended that without disturbing the teacher's work and rest, send a message to the teacher in advance and make an appointment for a suitable time for the teacher.
(9) Knock on the child's circle of friends
Having friends and partners in school life can make children feel more interesting and more eager to go to school. If the child first goes to school, has no acquaintances, and is also a slow and hot child, parents can find a way to help the child make one or two friends first. You can take the initiative to organize small activities for your children to play with other parents, etc. Slowly, the child will make more friends on his own.
(10) Gently encourage and remind children to take care of themselves at school
Elementary school teachers focus their work on teaching, not taking care of children's lives. First-graders should be able to take care of themselves. Parents encourage their children to take care of themselves to drink water, eat, go to the bathroom in time, go out more activities between classes, etc., believe in children, they are also working hard to learn to take care of themselves and do their own things.
Finally, I recommend Principal Zhuo Li's book to the parents of the first grade, which is the first parent-teacher meeting of Panda Jun School, and the principal recommended it to the parents of the new students, which is very worth reading for parents.
