School is a new life. Psychological preparation of the child for school

Parents of all future first-graders want their children to be at school well. What does it mean? To make new friends in the classroom, the communication with which brings pleasure. To the school the child was in a good mood, and he would like to learn and learn something new every day. It is not enough to teach a preschooler to write, read, and count. Psychological preparation is also very important, because the school is a completely new life, a new world. Stay in the status of a student for many years to come. It is necessary that the child was comfortable in it.

Create a positive image of the school

That the child wanted to go to school, waited on September, 1st with pleasure and impatience, parents should create a positive image of an educational institution.

Talk about school can only be in a positive way, and not only in talking with the child. A preschooler should not hear adult conversations that teachers are now bad, children in school are ill-mannered monsters, and homework is asked too much. It is absolutely unacceptable to intimidate a child with a school, which, unfortunately, some parents sin. "You will receive only one deuce," "Here's a teacher in school will show you for this behavior" - nothing like that from the lips of the parents the preschooler should not hear.

The child should be sure that he will like the school, the teacher will be friendly and friendly, and among the classmates there will be friends. It is important not to deceive the child, not to say that the school is a continuous holiday, because it is not so. You can read children's stories about schoolchildren, watch feature films about them. Those who go to school with a positive attitude, most likely, will be in it well.

Motivation should be correct

To form a child's motivation for learning should be correct. Some preschoolers seem to have an interest in going to school, but it is external. Such children want to try on their new pupil status, walk with a beautiful backpack, use brand new office supplies, look like older sisters or brothers. It is important to form the child's desire, passion, interest in cognitive activity, to tell that studying is a lot of new information. It is necessary to tell the preschooler what lessons will be in the first grade, what they are studying.

What skills do first-grader need?

Patience, self-discipline, the ability to listen without interrupting, assiduity - all this will be needed in school. Psychologists believe that all the above mentioned skills are very well trained in the process of joint games. Especially useful among them are those where there are clearly prescribed rules: checkers and chess, "walkers", everything else that requires following the rules. Another, no less useful game is the children's school. Let the child have the opportunity and try himself in the role of a student, and be a teacher.

A self-service skill is very important for a preschooler. Children in school have to change clothes and change shoes in the wardrobe, put on and take off their physical form, deftly manage the contents of the school backpack - get and clean the necessary things. Those who do it too slowly, worry and are nervous, seeing more agile classmates. Therefore, the child's self-care needs to be taught necessarily.

Ability to communicate and be friends is very important!

Which child is easier to adapt in an unusual school environment? After all, the school is Not only lessons, but also extra-curricular activities, sports competitions, communication in the team. Those who easily find a common language with classmates and know how to be friends. Children love and values in their peers benevolence, responsiveness, the ability not to be offended by trifles, not to conflict. Another important quality is the ability to seek and find compromises in different situations. More comfortable feel the children in the school, with the above skills. The task of parents is to instill in their child. The earlier the better.

Especially difficult for those children who did not attend a kindergarten, do not have sufficient experience of communication in groups, are shy in character, with low self-esteem. Adults should help children to join the company, teach them to communicate and be friends.

Getting acquainted with the school in advance

For a preschooler, the school is something completely new and incomprehensible. Most of the children are anxious and apprehensive about everything unfamiliar. It is much calmer to the school children who have already visited the walls of her building, imagine how the classes look from within. Now many educational institutions offer future students some kind of preparatory courses. If parents have the opportunity to take a child there, it is worth using it. Perhaps, the child will not receive any fundamentally new knowledge on the courses. But he learns in practice how the lessons take place at school, how to behave during the school, how to respond to the teacher.

On the changes it is necessary to walk along the corridors, to show the child where there is a dining room, a gym, a toilet, a wardrobe. When a new schoolchild crosses the threshold of an educational institution on September 1, he will feel much more confident.
