After a long summer vacation, as well as after 1-2 week breaks between school quarters, the student is experiencing real stress. The holidays are over, and it is not so easy to readjust to full-time studies at intervals of one day off a week.
Parents can make the plight of schoolchildren easier. In their arsenal there are two most effective ways:
- Gradual return to work routine.
- Regular activities during the holidays.
If on days free from school, the child went to bed after midnight (which is not recommended in principle), then at least a few before the start of school, return to the usual mode with a hang-up no later than 10 pm. Regular classes during the holidays are not reading classics all day, but doing exercises every day for only 10-15 minutes a day, and in various subjects.
If you have a first grader
The hardest of all is the first graders who are just going to gnaw the granite of science. They do not know how to sit in one place for a long time and concentrate. Parents of first graders will have to prepare as thoroughly as possible for the school year. A briefcase, a uniform, a beautiful haircut are great, but it will be much more useful to take the future student to preparatory courses at least a year (or better, two) before the start of school. There he will not only be given the necessary knowledge, but also taught perseverance, the ability to listen to the teacher.
Pay attention to developing self-care skills if this has not been done before. The child should be able to eat, change clothes, fold the briefcase and perform other simple actions. Try the game "Airplane in 15 minutes", during which the toddler must fully collect himself and get ready to leave within the specified time. It is especially important to take the course of a young fighter for children who were almost always at home before, since it is easier for kids attending kindergarten and children's centers to adapt to the team.
high school
Older children who are already accustomed to the educational process experience less stress, but they also have many problems. During the holidays, you can do whatever you want and how you want: play, watch TV, stay up late. Many people forget about reading and the need to do simple exercises with their parents or grandparents. As a result, September and the beginning of each quarter become like hard labor.
Tips for parents of schoolchildren: how to prepare for the holidays?
- You need to read during the holidays! The more the better, but 10 minutes every day is already great.
- Go to libraries, today they are not as boring as in our childhood, so the child will like it.
- Spend time together. Family vacation unites, improves relationships, promotes development, motivates.
- Be sure to start correcting the lost regime a few days before school.
- Learn foreign languages, they develop comprehensively.
At the age of 14-16, think over a preparation plan for admission, taking into account the peculiarities of a difficult adolescence.
