Instructions
Step 1
At the age of three or four, it is much easier for a child to tune in to the study of months. It was at this time that he already has a conscious experience of observing the changing seasons and understanding the natural phenomena corresponding to them, for example, snow or rain, warm or cold weather.
Step 2
First of all, it is necessary to acquaint the child with how many seasons there are in general, what they are called and the phenomena characteristic of them. After that, you can smoothly proceed directly to training. For example, when asking questions, it is necessary to set the task in such a way that the child can independently identify the features of each season, trying to lead him to search for independent conclusions.
Step 3
It is better to start studying the seasons in winter, as it is more saturated with impressions. Pictures will help you with this, which should display the various seasonal activities that are typical for the given weather conditions. By doing so, you will not only help your child learn more about the seasons, but also develop associative thinking.
Step 4
A good option is to tell your child what season his birthday is. In this case, you can use his memories of the weather. This method can be used not only in connection with one holiday, a story about New Year's holidays, March 8, February 23, or the birthdays of close relatives is perfect.
Step 5
It is worth paying the child's attention to the behavior of animals and the peculiarities of the life of plants in different seasons.
Step 6
Remind him of what kind of clothes he wears at this time of the year, ask him to draw the corresponding pictures. You can involve him in participating in scenes with toys, trying to get the child to guess the season that you asked him.
Step 7
The season can also be displayed in the figure in the form of people, thereby developing his imaginative thinking and showing the main characteristics of different seasons (spring is a girl, with a bouquet of tulips, and so on).
Step 8
Only when you have taught your child the seasons can you move smoothly to the months. To do this, it should be explained to him that there are months within each season. Mainly point out that they also differ in various ways.
Step 9
When walking outside or at home, pay attention to what time of year or month it is. For studying months, visuals such as a poster with the names of all months and their main features are perfect for you. The main thing is that he is always in front of the eyes of the child.
