How to prepare for kindergarten to primary school? What parents should know

Children in the upper class are about to enter elementary school. This is an important turning point for them to enter the stage of independent study. Parents are full of excitement and expectation to welcome this important moment in their children\’s growth stage. However, most parents are not aware of the difficulties and problems that their children may face during the transition from kindergarten to primary school. They think that the kindergarten will formulate relevant education plans anyway, and it is enough for them to ensure their children\’s nutrition and make material preparations. Therefore, many parents lack proper guidance when their children are in senior classes, thus missing the best opportunity for education and making themselves feel even more strenuous and hard after their children enter primary school. In fact, although kindergartens play a very important role in the connection between kindergarten and primary school, there is no doubt that parents also play an irreplaceable role. 01 Parents are the cultivators of children’s ability to live independently. After entering elementary school, children’s living and educational conditions will undergo great changes. The game-based activities that have been adapted to in kindergarten have changed to school classroom learning activities; children gradually transition from relying on their parents for everything to completing many things independently; during normal school days, adults spend a lot of time paying attention and care reduce. Therefore, children need to establish a sense of rules, safety and self-service, gradually improve their ability to live independently, and learn to take care of themselves. From the beginning of the first class, parents should consciously further cultivate their children\’s self-care ability. Parents can work out a work and rest schedule with their children, reasonably arrange their study and life, and let their children become the masters of time. In order to ensure that children have 10 hours of sleep every day, parents can let their children go to bed before 9 pm every night, get up before 7 am, and take a break at noon, so as to be close to the rhythm of primary school life. In the process of formulating the timetable, parents should consciously guide their children to match the activity content with static and dynamic content, so that the children can firmly establish the concept of playing only after completing their homework, so as to promote the development of all aspects of the children. At the same time, parents should also teach their children to master some necessary life skills, such as dressing and undressing, brushing teeth, washing face and bathing, packing school bags, washing their own rice bowls, taking care of their own toilets, and keeping their own belongings (including school supplies, keys, etc.) clothing, etc.), and will ask for help when encountering difficulties, etc. Spend a year training your children to learn these \”self-reliance around you\” ★ Set the alarm clock; ★ Get up by yourself when you hear the alarm clock; ★ Put on the clothes prepared for the next night by yourself, but parents can help check whether the shoelaces are tight, Whether clothes and pants are worn inside out; ★ Know how to wash your face and brush your teeth immediately after getting up, and look in the mirror to check whether they are clean; ★ Develop the habit of going to the toilet after breakfast; ★ Check school bags and other items that should be carried (if parents want to confirm, it is best Don’t let the child know, so as not to affect his initiative); ★ Say goodbye to your family before going out, and say hello to your family after returning home; ★ Shoes, schoolbags and other items will be placed in fixed places; ★ Know the importance of home keys, and Keep it carefully and develop a sense of responsibility; ★Wash your hands, including nails, with hand sanitizer or soap; ★Know that dirty clothes should be put in a fixed place after taking them off; ★Eat with a correct posture, be able to use chopsticks freely, and not be picky about food; ★Be able to Say \”I\’ve finished eating, please take your time.\”02 Parents are the stimulators of children’s interest in learning. Interest is the best teacher for people to explore things and engage in activities. When a person is interested in something, he will pay special attention to it, observe it carefully, understand it thoroughly, and remember it firmly. Some parents ask their children to do math problems, read words, and memorize poems before they go to elementary school. They don\’t care whether the child can accept it or not, and just indoctrinate the child, thinking that the more knowledge they instill, the better the child will learn after entering elementary school. The children\’s interest is completely lost in the cramming teaching. In fact, it doesn’t matter how many words a child knows before entering school. Forcing children to learn will make them hate learning and make them unwilling to learn. Therefore, how to protect children\’s interest in learning is the issue that parents should pay most attention to. Parents should guide their children to love and enjoy learning, adopt a step-by-step approach to cultivate their children\’s interest in learning, and help their children develop good study habits. Children have natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and they have an inquisitive attitude towards everything around them. If parents can treat their children\’s questions enthusiastically, guide their children to understand, explore, and raise more questions, then their children will stimulate their desire to learn knowledge and skills and develop the habit of diligence and hard study. In daily life, children may ask questions such as \”Why does the apple fall to the ground?\” \”Why does the light shine?\” etc. Parents should not answer directly, but explore with their children, such as doing experiments by themselves. , you can also use books, the Internet and consult with scientific and technical personnel to get the correct answers. In this way, children not only master the answers to the questions, but also understand the methods of experimental inquiry and the use of various resources. Over and over again, the children not only accumulate knowledge, but also enrich their insights, which is really a blessing. 03 Parents are the leaders in cultivating their children’s attention. There are two main types of attention: one is unintentional attention, and the other is intentional attention. Intentional attention is attention that is purposeful and requires volitional control. When paying attention intentionally, the human brain will be in a state of tension and will feel fatigued after a long time. Children\’s attention in early childhood is mainly unintentional attention. The intentional attention time of children in large classes is only 7 to 15 minutes, while a class in primary school lasts for 40 minutes, which requires a long-term mental state of concentration. Therefore, many children first feel that the class time is too long after entering primary school and they will lose concentration. , desertion. In addition, kindergarten has various learning forms and lively content, which makes children feel relaxed when learning; while primary school learning is mainly based on group teaching, which is single and boring, and children will feel very tired and uncomfortable. Therefore, parents should consciously conduct various trainings before their children enter elementary school to extend the time for their children to pay attention intentionally. It is normal for children who are young to lose concentration easily or have a short concentration time. However, many researchers are often surprised and impressed by children\’s ability to concentrate on activities that they are interested in. Parents can play more memory games with their children in daily life. For example, cover the pictures with their reverse sides facing up, lift them up one by one and cover them again. The parents can tell the content of one of the pictures, and the children can correctly find the corresponding picture based on their memory. Pictures; ask children questions before hearing the storyAsk the child to listen with questions and answer them after listening. You can also ask him to retell the content of the story to you after listening to the story… These activities are completed together in a harmonious environment of parent-child interaction, which can not only enhance the child\’s At the same time, it can also deepen the parent-child relationship. 04 Parents are the correctors of children’s bad habits. Everyone has their own habits. Some people are used to reading books and newspapers before going to bed, some are used to listening to beautiful music before going to bed, and some are used to paying attention to everything. Be curious and want clear answers, etc. Some of these habits are worth keeping, and some need to be abandoned. Parents should be a caring person, pay attention to their children\’s words and deeds, stop them immediately if they find bad habits, and teach them the correct methods, such as lying on the bed to read, leaning on the table to write, biting the pen when writing, Like sucking fingers, etc. Although these are not serious problems, if not corrected in time, they will affect the child\’s learning and physical health. In addition to the four roles mentioned above, parents also play various roles such as \”nutritionist\”, \”psychological counselor\”, and \”social interaction model\” in the growth of their children. I believe that as long as parents give full play to their wisdom and talents and work together with kindergartens, their children will successfully pass the critical period of transition from kindergarten to primary school and become an outstanding primary school student with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical and aesthetics. Children and their parents should make the following preparations: 01 Physiological preparation: After entering elementary school, children\’s living conditions and educational conditions will undergo new changes. Children will gradually transition from relying on their parents for everything to everything. Complete independently, therefore, children who are about to enter primary school should have a certain ability to take care of themselves. Have good and civilized hygiene habits such as eating, sleeping, excreting, and washing. Be able to organize your own appearance and pay attention to keeping your appearance tidy. Be able to organize your own belongings (schoolbags, pencil cases, etc.). Understand the main organs of the body and the needs of its own growth, and master Common sense and simple ways to practice self-care. Ability to calmly handle emergencies that may arise in daily life. 02 Psychological preparation: At present, people are mainly concerned about the psychological quality education of college, middle and primary school students, but there is still little research on how to carry out psychological quality education in kindergartens. For children who are about to leave kindergarten and enter primary school, this is their life At a turning point, they gradually transitioned from relying on their parents for everything to doing everything independently. The activities that they adapted to were mainly games, and they changed to activities that were mainly based on learning. They also had to preview, review lessons or do homework after class. Therefore, children must have certain psychological preparation before entering school. 1. There must be a strong need for knowledge; all activities in the upper class should be focused on exploration. Teachers should provide materials for children to operate boldly, throw problems to children, and develop the ability of children in the upper class to discover, explore and solve problems. 2. Have certain inhibition and control ability, be able to control impulses, do not make small moves in class, and insist on completing the prescribed tasks. Many studies have shown a relationship between children\’s theory of mind and inhibitory control. Inhibitory control ability training can not only improve children\’s inhibitory control ability, but also improve children\’s psychological status.State cognitive ability, which shows that children\’s inhibitory control ability can promote the development of children\’s theory of mind. Teachers should start with games and daily life to cultivate children\’s consistency and persistence, and develop their inhibition and control abilities. 3. They should have preliminary abstract logical thinking ability and a certain degree of imagination. There are two links in the \”learning by doing\” theoretical activity: \”guessing or assuming\” and \”recording the experimental process\”, which play an extremely important role in promoting children\’s thinking development. \”Guess or hypothesis\” helps activate young children\’s thinking. Before doing anything, use your brain first. Children\’s thinking will be in an activated state, which undoubtedly plays an important role in developing children\’s thinking ability. Secondly, in the process of exploring whether the guesses and experimental results are consistent, children learn to think. In various activities of the large class, emphasis should be placed on guiding children to guess, to hypothesize and to guide children to record the experimental process, so that the abstract and general level of children\’s thinking will be developed. 4. Should have certain social communication skills. Because in social interactions, children will be exposed to different ideas and concepts, pay attention to their own and others\’ wishes, beliefs and other mental states, and think about these mental states. In the later stages of the senior class, social interaction and verbal communication with young children should be strengthened, and more psychological words should be used with young children. Such as: want, hope, think, feel, remember, forget, etc. 03 Parent preparation: 1. Enhance children’s confidence. Children who are about to enter primary school have difficulties in learning and social adaptation. Parents should enhance their self-confidence, let children feel fun rather than pressure in solving problems, and cultivate children\’s tolerance for failure. Treat criticism and failure correctly, and have the ability to both compete and coexist in a group. Let the children know that they have grown up and are learning skills, so that the children can intuitively feel the benefits and fun of going to elementary school. 2. Stimulate children\’s interest in going to elementary school and prepare them psychologically for going to elementary school. In order for their children to enter elementary school happily, parents must make their children have the desire to go to elementary school and become a primary school student. For example: when you send your children to kindergarten in the morning, you see many primary school students on the road carrying schoolbags to school. At this time, you might as well say to your children: \”Look, these brothers and sisters are so impressive!\” to make your children feel envious. In this regard, parents should pay special attention to the fact that they must not use primary school to put pressure or intimidate their children. For example: \”Look, if you can\’t sit still, you will have to suffer when you go to elementary school in the future. Let the elementary school teacher fix you!\” Saying this will cause children to have a fear of going to school, which is not conducive to their psychological preparation for school. 3. Adjust children’s life patterns. Parents should start adjusting their children\’s schedule two weeks before the start of school. Experts tell us that under normal circumstances, we can get up at 6 o\’clock in the morning and go to bed at 8 o\’clock in the evening. In short, we must ensure at least 10 hours of adequate sleep. At noon, it is best to allow young children to take a nap for 50 minutes. Establish a stable work and rest system for children so that they have a sense of time and form a relaxed rhythm of life. . 4. Cultivate children’s self-care ability. Ability is not innate. Psychological research shows that there is a critical period for the development of children\’s abilities. During the critical period, children\’s abilities are easy to develop. After the cultivation period, the critical periodDuring this period, it is particularly difficult to cultivate children\’s abilities. It can be seen that in order to cultivate children\’s self-care ability and management, parents should train children to do what they can and should do during the critical period. For example, during the first class period, parents should pay attention to allowing children to organize books, toys, small school bags and daily necessities by themselves. At the same time, parents should help them overcome difficulties in practical actions instead of overcoming difficulties for them. When children encounter difficulties, they should continue to encourage them so that they have strong confidence and determination, and will never give up until they achieve their goals. In addition, appropriate guidance must be given on methods and techniques for overcoming difficulties, so that children can master the skills to overcome difficulties and avoid detours. Cultivating children\’s self-care ability should start with every little thing in life, such as leaving a small world of their own for children and guiding them to learn to tidy up the utensils in their own small world, learn to dress, wash their faces, fold quilts, tidy the room, and organize things. Meals, cleaning tables, sweeping the floor, etc. 5. Prepare the home learning environment for young children and create a good learning atmosphere. Parents create a small independent learning space for their children, choose their favorite desk lamps and simple and practical learning tools (school bags, pencil boxes, erasers, pinyin books, grid books, multi-grid arithmetic), so that children can learn in a relaxed and happy mood. Love learning. According to the age characteristics of the children, when buying school supplies for children, do not pursue lavishness. They should only be practical and do not need to have too many functions. The schoolbag should not be too big or too thick, just something simple will do. Stationery is usually packed in a pencil case and does not need to be sorted. It is also necessary to consider whether the learning supplies can cause adverse factors that affect the child\’s learning. It is not easy for first-grade children to use mechanical pencils. The refills are easy to break, which will not only distract the children\’s attention, but also delay their learning time. In the beginning, prepare a few more sharpened pencils when you go home in the evening. It is not advisable for primary school students to use a knife to sharpen pencils, as it will bring certain dangers. It is best to use an automatic pencil sharpener and teach children how to sharpen pencils. It is best not to use a multi-functional pencil case, otherwise children will treat it as a toy and play in class. Parents should also buy enough exercise books for their children so that they can gradually learn to prepare their own school supplies. They should develop the habit of preparing the next day\’s school supplies the night before to prevent their children from arriving at school without pens or notebooks. Condition. Often during class, other children are studying and some are playing. When asked why they are not studying, they will say that they have no notebooks or pens. Although the teacher will encourage children and classmates to help each other, this often happens. Nurture the bad habit of leaving things behind in your children. To cultivate the habit of listening in children, a family of three usually plays the \”listening\” game at home to see who can hear the most accurately. Let children understand that when others are speaking, they should not be absent-minded, but should listen attentively and understand the main content and meaning of what the other person is saying. At the same time, parents carefully choose some books suitable for children to read, so as to cultivate children\’s love for reading. When talking about pictures, parents urge the children in the upper class to speak boldly and loudly in Mandarin, with a natural, open-minded, polite attitude and a moderate voice. The students should speak clearly and speak at a moderate speed; for short passages, children in lower grades of primary schools should be urged to read aloud and useWhen reading in Mandarin, your articulation should be clear and your voice should be loud. Do not omit or add words, do not read wrong words, and do not read broken sentences. Long-term training can not only stimulate children\’s interest in reading and improve their reading ability, but also help children develop a good habit of loving reading. It can also improve children\’s sensitivity to language. When working, you must have the correct writing posture: the sitting posture is correct, and \”always one straight and two flat\”, that is, the body is straight, the head is straight, the shoulders are flat, and the legs are flat; the writing posture is correct, with the thumb and index finger holding the pen barrel, and the other three fingers supporting it. Hold, tilt the penholder back slightly, and lean against the tiger\’s mouth; achieve \”three ones\”: eyes one foot away from the book, chest one punch away from the table, and hand one inch away from the tip of the pen. 6. Provide safety education to young children and enhance their awareness of self-protection. First of all, for children who have just entered elementary school, it is better for parents to pick them up and drop them off, but they must understand and abide by traffic rules, learn to read traffic lights, use crosswalks, and call the police if they get lost. Secondly, let the children remember the names of their parents and other relatives responsible for picking up and dropping off, remember their home phone numbers and their parents’ mobile phone numbers, and remember the full name and office phone number of their parents’ work unit. Of course, just in case, you can also write these contents on a cardboard card for the child to carry with him, and tell him to show this to the policeman when he is unclear. 7. Parents receive special guidance from kindergartens and primary schools, effectively building a bridge for children to go to primary school. The level of intentional attention determines the performance of children. Therefore, parents can play more chess games and jigsaw puzzles with their children, which is very beneficial to cultivating intentional attention and can help children concentrate. Parents can do some scattered and correct enrollment for children. Knowledge preparation, but it does not mean teaching pinyin, literacy, etc. in advance. There is no need to put away toys, and there is no need to send children to preschool. At the same time, parents should promptly and accurately grasp the current development status of their children to make family education more targeted. Help children develop good study habits. Good study habits, like a strong interest in learning and correct learning methods, play an important role in learning. Once children have good study habits, they will benefit for life. 01 Develop a good habit of preparing before class. Tell your children that you have to ring the bell twice before going to class. The first time is the preparation bell. When you hear the preparation bell, you should quickly enter the classroom, pick up the books, notebooks, and pens used for class, and Place things neatly, do not put things on the table that are not in use, and then sit quietly and wait for the teacher to come to class. The second time is the school bell. When the school bell rings, the teacher will teach the children. Parents can conduct simulation performances at home before going to school. 02 Develop the correct sitting and writing posture. The correct sitting posture should be: sit upright with the upper part of the body, head upright, look forward, hands on both sides of the body, legs flat, and chest lifted. Tell them not to lie down on the table or cross their legs. Because good sitting posture is conducive to bone growth and good health. Some of our parents are eager for their children to succeed and teach their children to read and write in advance, but often ignore their children\’s writing posture. \”Preconceived\”, bad habits are formed and difficult to correct. Wrong writing methods not only affect the appearance of the font, but also affect the writing speed, and also affect the development of the child\’s small muscles and bones. 03 Develop good reading habitsPrevent three reading phenomena. The first is \”reciting scriptures\”, which means looking away, like a monk reciting scriptures, with words but no intention; the second is \”reading books of time\”, which means always looking at the time when reading. You ask me to read for half an hour, and I will read for half an hour. Let\’s see. Is the time up? The third is the \”quantity book\”, which means the number of times you read it is the standard. If you ask me to read it three times, I will read it three times and count it after reading it. These three types of reading are all reading without quality. When educating children to read, they must achieve the \”three things\”: eyes, mouth, and heart, that is, reading, looking, and thinking. Most of the texts in lower grades are illustrated with pictures and texts. Read the texts, look at the pictures, and think about the pictures and texts, so that your reading will be efficient and of high quality. Reading in first and second grade students should focus on reading aloud in Mandarin. The articulation should be clear, the voice should be loud, and no words should be omitted or added, no typos should be read, and no sentences should be broken. Long-term training can improve children\’s sensitivity to language. 04 To develop good communication habits, children should be warned to learn to listen. When others are speaking, they should not be absent-minded, but should listen attentively to understand the main content and meaning of the other party\’s speech; learn to speak Mandarin with a moderate voice, clear articulation, and moderate speaking speed, so that the other party can be attracted. Be able to understand what you want to express; when talking to others, your attitude should be natural, generous and polite. \”Hoping for a son to become a dragon and a daughter to become a phoenix\” is the biggest expectation of every parent for their children. The child is about to enter the first grade of elementary school, and the transition at this stage is extremely important. The transition from kindergarten to primary school is an important turning point for children and a new starting point for a new stage of schooling.
