And not fall into it during the school year.
At this time, it is very important to stay calm and pass it on to your baby, not to give in to stress. How to do it - we tell
1. Remember that school is a service and education provider, not a family substitute
The school can manipulate parents, indicate that their child is "not like that." But all this should not be central to family relationships.
It is not for the school to determine whether a child is good or not. Before accusing him of anything, each fact must be double-checked several times.
2. Give unconditional support to your child
This is especially important in the stressful moment of starting school. In a family, a child should have a comfort zone, not a scandal.
It is better to remember your own studies and share an interesting experience with your child.
3. Get ready for baby fatigue
This will be especially noticeable by the end of the school year. Connect all your understanding to accept that the child is really tired, although, yes, this is a responsible time in terms of learning.
Parents will need maximum care and patience.
4. Do not seek to fill all the child's free time
The more a small child is loaded with additional activities in addition to school, the faster apathy, laziness, and lack of motivation come.5. Remember that this is still a child, almost the same as in kindergarten
From September 1, the baby does not automatically become an adult. He needs a lot of time to adapt, transition to a new regime and the degree of responsibility. And here he needs support in the form of parents, and not reproaches.
6. Focus on knowledge, not grades
After all, why does a child go to school? For knowledge. Assessments are sometimes subjective, but in general they are secondary.
7. Don't do homework with your child
Teach him to learn, show independence, do not strive to do everything for him. And only when he asks for help, you can connect.
8. Don't overestimate your success in primary school
There is nothing wrong with the fact that the child will not receive the highest marks even in the first grade. He learns and develops, sometimes at his own pace. It is important to maintain his desire to learn, and not to receive an assessment by any means.
9. The teacher is not always right
It is important to convey this correctly to the child. Of course, it is not worth disrupting lessons, but putting the teacher's opinion ahead of your own self-esteem is also a pernicious way.10. School is not the most important thing
How often have many of us heard that study is in the first place, and all hobbies, friendship, love are somewhere further and secondary. So the child is taught to discount his interests and desires.
11. Let your child relieve tension
And throw it off yourself with him. Run, jump, play outdoor games, spend more time in nature, even if you and your child will have this freedom, the value of which cannot be replaced by anything.
