How many there are kindergartens, and so there has been talk about their need and feasibility. Some strongly of the opinion that the gardens need for further education of the child, his adaptation to society. Others are convinced that without visiting the garden you can prepare well for the same school and adapt to society. Consider the pros and cons of these theories.
Problems with adaptation
Sometimes kids "fly on the wings" in the garden. And whenever some behaving scandalously. habituation process for all children is different. Not all kids can easily integrate into a new big team, can not immediately adjust to the new conditions of life in the kindergarten, educators requirements.
disease
As it is often the case that children, began to walk in the garden, on a regular basis and is difficult to get sick. "A week go to sadim two weeks in hospitals wallow" - one can often hear from parents. Most psychological stress can affect the immune system of the child as a whole. Which leads to frequent diseases.
But at the same time, their illness, so to speak, tempers your body. And all the "children" of the disease moves into the garden. And already is hardened to school.
My daughter, when I went to kindergarten, hurt. But we do it at home especially began to harden, giving more vitamins and a variety of immuno-modulators. it is also in the garden had chickenpox. What I personally very happy. Since more than adults, the disease is very distressing to the person. There are even complications.
Behavior and new words
Since the beginning of visiting the garden in a child may be new (not always good) words, aggression can occur. All this is because the child is confronted with the education system other than your home, and respond to these changes as best he can. Self-control he still lacks. Parents should not focus on such behavior of their baby. And tell him that we can not behave. His example show the correct behavior. In this case, the child gradually settle down and cease to carry manners, taken from the garden at home behavior.
Food
Many children, at first, refused to eat in the garden. At home, the mother (or grandmother) cooking the food that the baby liked. He filed a favorite platter and decorate so that eating becomes a work of art. In the garden there is no such. There is a similar dish with cups. Not always tasty porridge. But it is very useful and diet. After some time, your baby will start to have the same as the other kids in the group. Do not worry on that score. But the child will learn to eat faster than himself, and will not wait when it will feed. Friend told how long trying to teach a child to use a spoon. Well, not in what she is not working. I gave the baby in the garden. A week later the child has mastered and spoon at home, shouting "I myself", ate their food.
Little attention to each child
Often in groups of 25 children, in such a situation it is difficult to talk about an individual approach to each child. Kindergarten - is primarily a collective activity. You just have to understand and accept the fact that there is a certain teacher training program, and it is it (the program) should be implemented, despite the different levels of training children. In order to develop the talents of your child, there are various creative circles, which you can drive your talented child.
In the garden of your baby will be able to "explore" the basics of collective relations. Can he show leadership qualities, or manifest quick wits. It is in kindergarten children learn to make friends, find a common language with others, come to a compromise. Now consider the pros kindergarten.
Good manners
Very often in the garden the day starts with the fact that kids are greeted with a teacher and with each other, thanks for lunch and say goodbye when they leave home. And even if the children in the family is not taught politeness specifically, garden instills good manners, and eventually in the house begin to sound "good appetite", "thank you" and "Hello". The kindergarten is the norm - to clean up after a toy in front of a quiet hour of neatly folded clothes on the chair, wash your hands after using the street. This tirelessly remind caregivers. Useful fixed daily rituals and eventually brought to automatism.
In the kindergarten the child becomes more relaxed
Educator with the kids in the gardens very often prepare some mornings, concerts and performances. Not every child will be free to go on stage and in front of a large group to tell even a small poem. The younger groups or nursery, to such "heroism" agree only active kids or those who loves to be the center of attention. But by the age of 4 - 5 practically every child can calm enough to tell the poem or sing a song to the audience. And the joy and pride of parents in baby only support the desire to express themselves on stage.
Rules and boundaries
In kindergarten, the child is faced with the fact that the teacher must follow the instructions and operate within certain rules. And some of the children in the kindergarten is the first time confronted with the notion of adult stature. This applies to children, in families where there is complete democracy. But these children kindergarten shows that not everything in the world is subject to their will. There are certain restrictions: not to run out of the area, not to fight, carry a class, not to break toys. There is a mode: eating, sleeping, playing, playing. Thus, the child formed a sense of predictability and certainty that a child needed.
Communication skills and the ability to share
As I said earlier in the "minus" in kindergarten children learn to communicate with each other, to find a compromise, learn to wait their turn for a toy, learn coordination. Such skill is not gain any children traveling to visit, or in walks on the grounds.
School. Not every parent, came home from work, can sufficiently pay attention to the child in preparation for school. A kindergarten classes are arranged so that the child, even if he does not like to practice at home with stucco, it will perform, simply because others do it, or because it is the teacher said. In kindergarten, paying attention to physical development, the study of the world, mathematics, language development, and much more. A form of the daily 20-minute sessions develops perseverance, which is very useful in school.
Independence. Sending a child to the garden we leave (to some extent) its one-on-one with their problems. Now the kid himself must learn how to dress, eat, clean up, go to the toilet. In kindergarten, with the child much happen. And the tears of "betrayal" girlfriend, and a fight with another boy... Anything can be. But at the same time, the children learn to defend his point of view, share their toys, to communicate, to establish a relationship. I know people who have been friends with them most of my life, and they met and became friends in kindergarten!
What is the role of parents or grandparents? Finding out the required abilities and skills of the child, you can select those that may develop in the home. First and foremost on what parents need to focus? On the development of your child's independence. He should learn how to perform the task without your help and tips. Enter your child a strict schedule. For the child it is important to know when he can play, and when he will have classes. It is best to organize the day so that the game had already been active after school. Distributing child's day so you can prepare in advance to his daily routine at school. And it will be easier to adapt to the school environment.
"Home," the child should spend much time on the playground, play with other children. It is desirable that your child was a friend of the same age, and even a few. Invite them home with me. Come alone to visit them. Necessarily it is necessary to ensure your child's communication with adults, whether the grandparents or aunts and uncles of the child.
It is also important to teach the child to formulate and not shy to voice their requests, talk about their problems. After all, in the same school, the teacher is not able to keep track of each child, and if they need the toilet, but he hesitate to say so - this will cause some discomfort and child and the teacher. It is therefore very important that the child did not hesitate to come up with a request to an adult.
In any case, the decision to go to kindergarten or not, take the parents, based on their own situation. It is important to take into account many factors: the nature of the baby, the possibility of your own, or with the help of clubs engaged in the development of the child. Did grandmother would be able to properly pay attention to this child's development? Will all the parameters to prepare the child to school?
If there is no serious reason to leave the baby at home, take him to kindergarten, so he developed a par with their peers and learn about new areas of activitySTI.
