No matter how many child psychologists and educators are not saying that you can not compare your children with other kids, probably not the parents who would not do. And if it turns out that pipsqueak neighbor unlike your already knows how to read and write and knows a dozen English words, it can be a real problem and a reason to flee in early development center and urgently fill gaps in education.
In fact, learn letters, words, poems, and "like a goat says," it is important (although the time comes and the kid with easy to master all of these wisdom), but there are things that five years of a child should know by heart. Let's see what kind of knowledge is really vital to doshkolenka.
What is the name my mom and dad. For the baby you are the closest people in the world: my mom and dad. But other than that, he has to know your name and home address. Do not be amiss to rhyme instead learn to remember even one of your phone numbers. This can be done with the help of some simple-minded motive, which fit well numbers. Learn poems is very beneficial for the child's development, but in an emergency phone number of the parents will be much more useful.
How to behave when lost
Scare the baby talk that he has lost, it is not necessary. But in the form of fairy tales, or stories you need to tell him what to do if, for example, you lost out of sight in a supermarket or remained in the departing bus, when you are already out of it (every it happens). You need to convey to the child the idea that he should not panic and run to look for you. He must stay in the place where the lost (in the case of the bus just to go to the next stop) and wait for you, and you are sure to immediately come after him.
Where to call in case of emergency. Leave such a small child at home alone, of course, safe and loving parents will not do, but the situations are different. Therefore, learn emergency numbers "just fire" costs. And a piece of emergency numbers and the next of kin, which in case you can call, you need to hang in plain view and tell your child when and where you want to call. Better yet, from time to time to play with toys using simple scenes in which plush friends will be forced to call rescuers. should not intimidate the child and to escalate the situation, but regularly reminded where to go in case of force majeure, the child should be regularly.
How to cross the road. I do not want to recall how many people die every day, ignoring traffic rules. Therefore we urge you never to do and teach them to observe the rules of behavior on the road with your child just born. Already in polutorogodovalom age, sitting in a stroller, the baby is able to grasp the relationship between the green man on a traffic light, and so when you need to cross the road. The child older ask, on what light you can go, and when to wait. Gradually ask more complicated puzzles - explain that before you go you need to look first to the left, then right, entrust this mission to the kid. Encourage your child to see how cross the road the other adults and children.
What strangers can talk. Even if the child is not walking on the playground without supervision, regularly explains to him that communicate with strangers You can not, in any case can not take their candy, toys or other gifts, as well as somewhere to go at any pretext. Even if the stranger says he knows personally the parents the baby or his mother became ill and need to rush to her aid. It is important to explain to your child how adults can seek help in case of emergency (for example, if the child is left behind from you in the mall): This may be the police, the administrator at the supermarket, in the conductor transport. And also tell us that it is in such a case, it is useful to the knowledge of your phone number.
Where is the boundary of intimacy. The child already knows that hugging and kissing family - this is normal. However, he must clearly understand that if for some reason he did not want to do it, he does not have. His body is inviolable and must be aware of this since childhood. Also, he should not allow it to touch an adult stranger or listen to other people only on the basis that they are adults. It should be carefully explained to him that although a lot of good people in the world, there are those that can harm him. Happiness to you and your loved ones!
And be sure to ask, how to properly punish the child and 5 and 5 can not be, it should be remembered that in this case, even if you are very angry.
