We all want our children to do well in school, but sometimes, with all the effort we put in, that doesn't happen. What's the matter here?
It should not be forgotten that when a child moves from kindergarten to school, a period of adaptation cannot be avoided. The time span of such a period may be different, depending on the individual characteristics of the child. You cannot demand unprecedented success from the first days of school. The child still, so to speak, looks around, gets used to the new environment, to the children's team, meets the first teacher.
If in the kindergarten, classes are nevertheless built mainly in a playful form, then the school already requires a lot of responsibility and independence. You do not need to scold the child if something does not work out for him, thereby you can completely discourage the desire and desire to study, in this matter there should be nothing out of the way. A first grader, of course, should strive to ensure that everything works out, but without any nervousness, remarks: "Mom will kill me if I fail!" - shouldn't be. There is no need to instill in your child an aversion to learning, you can not intimidate him, thereby you will not achieve any success.
Show a genuine interest in the educational process of your kid, find free time, sit at lessons with him, rejoice in his small victories, do not scold him too much for failures. A lot in teaching depends on how the relationship between the child and the teacher and the children in the class will develop. Teach your child to be respectful of the teacher, but do not rely on his unquestioning authority. The child must have his own opinion in any case.
You cannot discuss the teacher at home, in front of the child, even if you are unhappy with something, be sure that all this will be brought into the classroom, and the child and other children will take over your negativity towards the teacher. If a misunderstanding arises, it is better to immediately go to the headmaster than to sit at home and wash the bones of a teacher you dislike.
Teach your child not to laugh at the mistakes of classmates, to rejoice at their successes and always come to the rescue. Make a conversation about "friendship", explain what real friends should be like, how you can behave and how not. Teach your child sincerity both in front of you and in front of other people, tell him that he can always come to you with any problem, you will always listen to him and help in solving it.
Do your homework during the day, don't put it off until late at night. If the beginning of classes is from 8-9 o'clock in the morning, then you need to go to bed no later than 9 o'clock in the evening, so as not to doze off in class. Organize your child a comfortable workplace for doing homework, from the first days teach him to be neat and tidy, do not clean up for him and collect a portfolio. This is not yours, but his direct responsibility.
Explain that studying at school is a serious matter, but do not intimidate the child with phrases: “If you study badly, you’ll go to work as a janitor!”, They will not bring anything positive. Your sincere interest and willingness to help is the main criterion for success. After all, what seeds are such sprouts, ancient wisdom, relevant to this day.
