The overwhelming majority of parents complain about the morning getting their child to school. The schoolboy does not want to wake up early, gets up with difficulty, barely chews morning porridge, is capricious, does not want to go anywhere. Parents get nervous, shout, hurry and spoil the nerves of both themselves and the child.
When, at last, the child is assembled, the path to school is practically on the run. And then the whole day the poor parents feel guilty, and think about how to help the child organize his morning correctly and avoid the hassle.
How to teach a child to get ready for school?
There must be an example for the child
Of course, the child follows the example of adults. Does the parent know how to plan his day? Is it so easy for mom or dad to get ready for work in the morning? Of course, different things happen in life, and it is not always possible to do everything according to the plan, but for the sake of the child, you need to teach how to live in an organized way and without haste.
A parent needs to get up before his child
A parent needs to get up early, take time for himself, cheer up with morning coffee or tea. And then you need to help the baby organize his morning. Since mom or dad has free time for themselves, they can devote the rest of the remaining time to the child. It is necessary to help the student achieve independence.
Planning the day
The morning must be taken care of in the evening. If a child goes to bed late, then it is very difficult for him to get up in the morning. During the day, the baby gets very tired both mentally and physically, so he just needs a good rest. If the child goes to bed early, then it will be easier for him to get up, and everything will turn out much easier.
Taking care of your wardrobe
It is necessary to take care of the child's clothes in advance. It will be better if it is not only comfortable, but also easy to dress. Despite the fact that at this age the child is already almost an adult, he still needs to make his new life easier at least in this. It is better if the clothes are on comfortable Velcro or rubber bands. In this case, the child will be able to dress independently and effortlessly. Then the nerves of both the parent and the student will remain.
Talking about the day ahead
Since the child is not yet independent enough, he cannot remember the entire sequence of actions in the morning. It will be much better if something reminds him of the necessary actions. For example, you can make arrows along which he will go and complete tasks. Or you can hang pictures that will serve as a reminder of a particular process. All steps should be scheduled, from brushing your teeth to putting on your shoes. And the results can be attached to the refrigerator in the form of a report. This will be a kind of game for the child, and he will happily start getting ready for school.
Positive attitude
Let the parent wake up the child not with ordinary words, but with a kiss or a funny song. You can play children's music, but don't start your morning with cartoons. Otherwise, the child will watch the cartoon for a long time and will not want to go to school.
Fees from the evening
It will be best if the vast majority of things are done in the evening. For example, in the evening, you need to fold your clothes correctly so that they can be easily put on in the morning. The portfolio should also be assembled by the morning. This will save you unnecessary fuss. The parent should monitor the child's collection in the evening so that he does not forget anything. However, it is important that the baby has a certain independence in this too. You can remind him, but you shouldn't do everything for him.
Role-playing game
It often happens that the kid does not want to go to school for the simplest reasons. Perhaps he did not have a good relationship with the students or with the teacher. It so happens that a student in an educational institution may be offended. And then the kid resists going to school with all his might. In this case, mom or dad needs to talk to the child, gently and not intrusive. It is necessary to find out if everything is going well for him at school, if he has friends, how the teachers treat him. If it turns out that there are certain problems, then appropriate measures should be taken. When all problems are resolved or sorted out, the process of getting to school will go faster.
Praise
It is imperative to praise the child. For example, if the kid quickly got ready and was not late for school, mom or dad needs to note this. It should also be emphasized why it happened, what was done best this morning. Parents can offer encouragement, it can be purely symbolic. You can accumulate points for successful fees and at the end of the week, in case of a positive result, the whole family can go to the circus or to the zoo.
