Parents bring children into the first class during from six to seven years. Usually to this age at the child abilities to school training are already developed. However children differ in specific features. Parents need to know the criteria defining readiness of the child for school.
Instruction
1. Find out by what motives the child is guided, being going to school: - there are friends, neighbors, messmates on a garden (desire to be as all); - to receive excellent estimates (social preferences); - to play with friends on breaks (game motivation); - to be taught and receive a good profession. If the child selects the last item, then it has a high educational motivation, he with interest will study.
2. Define, the emotional and strong-willed sphere, ability to fulfill the requirements of society is how developed at the child. To seven-year age at children the concept of "a game by rules" develops. Observe how your child in children's collective follows instructions of a game. Performance of the duties is the key to successful adaptation to school. Besides, from independence of the child, his ability to form new social communications, interest in school life depends. Excessively sponsored children risk to be not absolutely successful in study.
3. Look narrowly whether your child is able to listen and tell. Let will retell the animated film or the read story. If the child cannot logically build a story line of events, is not able to make correctly the offer, difficult is at loss for words, then it is necessary to practice a speech development. The speech is closely connected with the cogitative device. Developing the speech, we thereby stimulate development of thinking.
4. Pay attention, how well the child owns a pencil, scissors as he redraws geometrical patterns as cuts out. If it is difficult for child to perform such tasks, then fine motor skills of a hand need a training. Exercises on performance of small operations are important as the centers of the speech are in a cerebral cortex near the motive center. Doing hand-made articles of plasticine, finger-type gymnastics, massage of hands and other, we develop the speech center.
5. Play with the child logical games with words. Examples can be found in any book on development of the child or to think up. Let will find an excess word, will finish the offer begun by you or will call in a word the list of objects. If the child successfully copes with similar tasks, then his cogitative device is ready to training.
6. The ability of the child to consider and write speaks about ability of the child to training. These skills will help the child to be successful in the first class, but can prevent subsequently. Out of time accumulated knowledge can interfere with development of skills of a reasoning.
