Let's be honest – the first class for the child and parents it not only a holiday, but also a huge stress for all family. And most of all the "hero of the occasion" who tried on a new social role suffers. A task of parents to make so that the new period passed as it is possible better and more quietly for the child.
Adaptation to school begins not on the first of September, and much earlier. Then to the child will be to accept more simply and more clear new changes in life. Someone gives the child on preparation for school in advance. It makes sense if your child did not visit preschool institution. Then it needs ability to sit at a school desk, to answer questions of the teacher, to interact with other children. "Kindergarten" already have an idea as it is necessary to behave at lessons and have skills of self-service.
But ahead three summer months for which it is quite possible to prepare future pupil for new life. Many advise to begin to live according to the schedule of school. In it there is a rational approach: early rise and withdrawal for sleeping, classes, a daytime sleep, food according to the schedule will help to adjust biorhythms. If someone from children has problems with discipline and behavior, correction time has come. Yes, children have the right for self-expression, only at school the rules work. Teach children not to interrupt adults, to call them on "you", impart the minimum skills of good breeding (to greet, apologize, wish good mood and so forth).
Adequately estimate the child and accustom him to the correct perception of yourself. It parents can be touched to each success of the child, and the school will begin to estimate it, proceeding from real opportunities. But it is not necessary to go into extremes – the criticism in each occasion will give negative effect. Just smoothly begin to bring the child to the fact that it is possible to reach good work only diligence. For example: "Yes, well wrote! Let's correct only here a little and it will be even better".
What problems you can face already at school. The main – interaction with peers. And problems can be both at timid children, and at active. It is difficult to first to strike up acquaintances, the second cannot send the energy to the peaceful course. You can face sharp changes in behavior of the child. Various fears and phobias (if were), nervousness, tearfulness can return, active children after school can destroy literally everything around (whether a joke to stay several hours quietly).
Than parents can help? Return a daytime sleep to a daily routine of the child. Be not obsessed with homeworks, the benefit they are practically absent, go for a walk. Do not overload the child with additional classes. At most sport, something as a hobby (drawing, chess) and any additional educational classes. Whether additional English in the first class is so necessary?
Work on the overestimated parental expectations. The biggest problem of school students – the parents waiting from them for good result. The first class it not about knowledge, estimates, study. The child should learn to study in the first grade. For 6-7 summer children 4 lessons a day unreasonable loading. And activity cardinally changes each forty minutes. Here only paints drew and already the mathematician. And they cannot work in the multitasking mode yet.
