Tips / / December 19, 2019
1. Calm down, it's okay
For children from 7 to 18 years old to go to school - the normal state. This vacation - an emergency situation, and the school - a common situation. So do not demonize the school year and the beginning.
The school on the ruler, and then in the classroom children twenty times say that the school year began and that now something they need to learn, try to work and achieve unprecedented results. By the fifth repetition of such speech brings teeth and a desire to throw notebooks. So do not repeat these parting words at least at home. Not hysteria, especially the graduates, they and so sickening.
School - it's not scary.
2. Arrange beautiful morning
This is the most difficult. In theory, we must prepare for the ups still early in August, but who really does that? Service in utter an early hour is probably the most extreme loads in the first couple of weeks, until the children are inundated with assignments.
Think about what you need to do in the morning for you to hard work of lifting the child did not spoil the day.
In the morning should be at least something a good: Delicious breakfast, nice alarm clock or your favorite music, smiling parents and finished the evening bag.
3. relax
Excellent habit - after study and work required to relax before engaging in routine. It is best to rest for a walk with your child to make up for a few hours of sitting at a desk humble.
And if the student wanted to sleep during the day after school, do not interfere, even if the student - a graduate and he needs a tutor. Night's sleep and go.
4. Ask the name of the new teachers
It is better to refer to the class teacher. Let him tell what new items are waiting for the child and what the teachers have to work. Take contact the class teacher, if you have them still do not have. Better not keep ringing for any reason, and to write messages or to send messages, to allow the teacher to respond at a convenient time, and calls for an emergency leave.
5. Do not take important projects at work
It would seem, and your job is to do with anything? Despite the fact that at the beginning of the school year the child can get sick. Here effect and increased load, and the fact that the school, where it is constantly full of kids, it's easier to meet with some virus and bring it home, infecting the whole family.
So consider that the probability of hospital considerably increased.
6. Remember, they themselves went to school
Maybe you ran to the school to get another five or drive the ball. Maybe you could barely trailed, because again the bully in the first row will try to take the diary. Maybe you did not care - a school so the school. Remember how you went to school to help the child to adapt.
But keep in mind that your child may still be different. So do not project their expectations and memories for children, it is better to ask more questions about how the day went.
7. Do not let the new loads
Recorded in all sections and clubs do not. Without that experience too much in the beginning of September.
At first the children get used to the fact that it is necessary to go to school, then to the fact that one also has to do their homework. And only then will be able to get used to new activities.
So that the sections - in the second half of September.
8. Do not release the child from his duties
It is tempting to little help students and resolve not to walk the dog or washing the dishes after dinner. But it is better from household tasks no one is exempt. After all, if a school - it's a common thing, then it's okay not.
9. Turn off notifications in the parent chat
Parent groups in Messenger - a harsh reality. They help quickly disseminate information or arrange a meeting, but more often a source of spam and muffled conversations do not know about. Disconnect notice, then see (or not see). Save a lot of nerves.
10. Check feed than in the dining room
Then not to be outraged when a hungry child will run for the breadcrumbs to a nearby kiosk.
For studies it is important to eat well. If the dining room is all right, you can make a great school ration. If children are fed so-so, then you compensate it for home cooking.
11. Do not lay up for a child of his portfolio
Let quietly forgets pens, notebooks and textbooks, getting used to the schedule. All the same, in the first week of classes are relaxed, a little homework and notebook clean - do not worry, if you book on biology absentmindedly become a book on geography.
But the child will remember that he has to keep an eye on your belongings, and you give him the right to dispose of its bag and show that you trust him an important matter - the school fees.
12. Set aside some money for unexpected needs school
Unforeseen needs - it's not extortion, which are illegal and unexpected expenses. For example, it turns out that you need to purchase any textbooks or office. Or that the whole class is going to immediately go on the tour. Or a tracksuit, you bought a month ago, has become absolutely small - for children it's okay.
13. Set your smartphone to the child useful applications
We have already recommended appsThat will be needed during their studies at school. Install those that like a child. Just in the first week of training the children will understand from the application possibilities.
