The little man goes to first grade. It is a holiday, but an exciting holiday. Parents are worried about how the child will cope with the tasks, how he will establish relations with the teacher and the children. How can I help my child overcome stress in first grade?
Now the child has taken responsibility for his own progress. You can no longer carelessly walk, play, watch cartoons. During this period, it's time to get used to the regime, be able to plan your day, and start working.
For the child, the lessons are not new, because in the form of games, parents and educators have already been engaged with him. Nevertheless, now everything is different: there are no games anymore and you need to approach the lessons thoughtfully and responsibly. The performance of the kid depends on the attitude towards learning. So how to move to a new stage in a less painless and positive way?
Teaching the kid to be independent is necessary in advance. By school, he should be able to collect his portfolio himself, his things. Also, parents can arrange games at school and play some situations that may arise. Then, if such a situation happens at school, the student will behave with restraint and confidence, because he has already been in such a situation. In addition, to make the child comfortable in an unfamiliar place, you can put a talisman or symbol in his backpack.
One of the important problems associated with the child's psyche is the unfamiliar class, consisting of other people's children. If the child does not manage to fit into the team, then the parents should talk about this topic with the teacher. In this case, the teacher will pay more attention to this student. There is nothing terrible in this, many parents make such requests.
To keep the child in a positive mood when attending school, mom and dad can try to tell the student stories from their childhood. They can tell how much fun they had there, how much they learned and how they would like to return. These stories will help the student see the new place in a positive light.
The support of parents, their love and care is very important for a child. Let them talk to the child about school as much as possible, ask how his day went, what new he learned, what problems he faced. Such conversations will help to identify situations in which the student may not feel comfortable.
It is imperative for your child to learn how to plan their day. At first it will be somewhat difficult, parents should help him in this, consult with the child, discuss how best to make a schedule. In this mode, there should be a place for study, food and rest, including daytime sleep.
If the student tolerates the load well, he can be enrolled in a section or circle. An ideal option for an active child would be a section related to sports. It will help your baby get rid of excess energy, change occupation and sleep soundly at night.
