Often, children, especially those of primary school age, after the summer holidays, cannot tune in to their studies. They do not take the teacher's explanations well, they cannot cope with their homework. Dissatisfied parents accuse schoolchildren of laziness, unwillingness to work and make efforts.
Because of their physiological and psychological characteristics, it is very difficult for young children to sit still without talking or being distracted. This is a real torture for them. And even at recess, you can't really run, you won’t get overwhelmed: they will immediately pull up, demand not to be naughty, not to make noise. And if, at the same time, the teacher's explanations are boring and incomprehensible, then what kind of mood to study can we talk about at all? An instinctive rejection of this often leads to a reluctance to learn.
Parents in such a situation should behave reasonably. Do not accuse the child of laziness, and even less punish, but try to help him. There are a few simple ways to get your toddler excited that learning is serious and must be treated responsibly.
Don't make the requirement of being serious about your studies and getting good grades an obsession. Do not be annoyed, do not scold the child, talk about everything related to school, calmly and kindly. Encourage him if he is out of sorts. The kid should know and feel that he is still dear to mom and dad, regardless of how things are going at school.
Organize the school corner so that your child is comfortable and comfortable doing homework. Pay special attention to properly lighting his workplace.
Remember that one of the main reasons for a cool attitude towards learning is feeling overworked. Therefore, organize the correct routine of the student's day. Alternate homework with relaxation. Walk outdoors with your child as much as possible. Make sure that his sleeping place is comfortable and that the room is well ventilated before bed.
Calmly, unobtrusively explain to the child why the very rules of behavior at school have been established that annoy him, seem unnecessary and tedious. When helping your child do his homework, try not to get annoyed, not to make sarcastic remarks about his mental abilities if he is mistaken. Your criticism should be calm and friendly.
