Parents of first graders often think that before school the child needs to have a rest to the maximum. Someone, on the contrary, diligently prepares all summer for study. And what pediatricians and psychologists think?
If the kid visited a garden, then it is already quite ready to the first class. Therefore it is better to put the main emphasis on rest and strengthening of a children's organism, preparation for new loadings. However in order that future pupil did not forget everything what he was taught to, it is better to repeat passable gradually. But it is exclusive in the form of a game.
What have to be classes?
On usual walk it is possible to consider trees, beds and flowers on them, to solve elementary problems. Before going to bed read to the child of the fairy tale, ask questions on the text, you ask to retell heard by the own words. It is also possible to compose magic stories also, to think out other termination or continuation to well familiar texts. It is not less important to develop fine motor skills. At least, once a week the kid has to mold, draw, glue, cut out from paper. It is possible to buy copy-books in which there are exercises on an obvedeniye on a contour, drawing on points, graphic dictations, etc.
It is impossible urgently to teach the child to read or write, try to master English. You risk to drive the baby in a condition of a stress and to discourage at it to school, to cause fears and diffidence.
But if your kid did not go to a garden and did not attend courses of preparation for school, it is necessary to be engaged more. Perhaps, there is a sense to register in classes in the developing center.
Correct motivation
Psychologists are sure that the main task of parents is to adjust correctly the child for study. It is better to tell the truth, not to suppress possible difficulties and problems, but at the same time not to intimidate and not to program on a negative. Explain to the kid what is a lesson and change who such teacher as everything is arranged at school. Tell him several stories from the childhood, remember the first teacher and schoolmates. Conduct to the child a small tour on school, demonstrate to him everything. If there is an opportunity, come to walk to the school territory more often. Let the baby get used.
Only without panic!
As a rule, this summer is heavy for parents both in moral, and in the material plan. It is necessary to manage to buy a lot of things. However you should not load the child with adult problems. Let the first of September for it will be a holiday!
You should not postpone everything for the last week, it is better to make the plan of purchases in advance. The school uniform can be bought or sewed to order.
Acquire office supplies gradually, using discounts and sales in shops. Buy a case, a portfolio, a bag for replaceable footwear only together with the kid. If on them there are images of his favourite animation heroes, it will a little brighten up its school everyday life.
Observe the mode
At the end of summer you should not go somewhere, especially to tropical countries. It is fraught with problems with acclimatization, failure of immunity, various diseases. Besides, having received too many impressions, the child hardly will adjust from rest to study.
Already it is possible gradually to begin to live with the middle of July on the mode. Write the schedule on the sheet of paper, try to observe it. To rise, lay down, eat, to be engaged, walk and have a rest the kid has to approximately at the same time, plus or minus half an hour.
Use this time for strengthening of health. Check the calendar of inoculations, visit all necessary doctors. Surely you descend to the oculist and the stomatologist.
Good option – rest at the dacha or at the grandmother in the village. Vegetables, fruit and berries from the garden or a kitchen garden it is much more useful purchased.
Allow the kid to run barefoot, to walk and play in the street the whole day. Any gadgets, only fresh air and pair milk!
