Behind were the sleepless nights of the first weeks and months of the life of the beloved crumbs, the first skills, words and skills. And now it’s time to start a “social life”. "How to teach a child to kindergarten?" - This is the question many parents ask. After all, I really want my son or daughter to run to the group with pleasure.
It should be said that the question of how to teach a child to a kindergarten should begin to be asked as early as possible. Often, mothers, having lost patience, throw phrases to the peanuts that they will force them to eat, sleep, and obey in the kindergarten. Or they even promise to give it there for disobedience ... It’s not worth doing it - it’s unlikely to achieve the desired goal, but it’s already possible to instill a child’s dislike of the garden in absentia. The kid needs to be told that the children, when they are growing up, go to the kindergarten (you can compare it with children's work), which is interesting and fun there, the children play and eat together, each has a locker and a bed. Just don’t embellish the information too much and promise the “golden mountains” in order to avoid disappointment in the future.
Adaptation of a child to a kindergarten is a rather stressful process. The baby can begin to behave in an uncharacteristic way, become more moody and demanding. This is normal, especially if he is 2-3 years old. Do not scold the child, on the contrary, you need to surround him with love. It’s important for the baby to understand that he is still loved, that the kindergarten is not a punishment, but an opportunity to play with friends. Joint cartoons, reading before bedtime, games and walks with parents will help the little man to accept the new "game conditions" and get used to them. You can give crumbs small gifts, surprises, come up with fun activities, pamper it with useful and tasty dishes.
When answering the question of how to teach a child to a kindergarten, one should not miss
regime moments. The best solution is to start gradually moving to the desired daily routine a few months before the first visit to the garden. To do this, it is necessary to clarify in the preschool institution what time they need to bring the children when the children have breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, walk and go to bed. If you advance to transfer the baby to the desired mode, it will be easier for him to get used to the new lifestyle.
In order for the child’s adaptation to the kindergarten to proceed successfully, he should be accustomed to independence (naturally, in accordance with age-related capabilities). If the baby knows how to eat, undress and dress independently or with minimal help, it will be much easier for him to get used to the new conditions. It is not necessary to think that the peanut is still too small for such skills: a two-year-old can very well wield a spoon, take off his pants and wipe his hands. And the four-year-old is already able to dress and undress on her own or with a little help from the teacher.
How to teach a child to a kindergarten if he is often sick? First you need to do health promotion. It is recommended to visit an ENT specialist, a pediatrician, if necessary an allergist and other specialists. And you definitely need to be patient - even the most persistent kids at first begin to get sick much more often. Some help homeopathy, some - various drugs to strengthen the immune system, but they can not be taken without consulting a doctor. And if you have serious health problems with the kindergarten, you will have to wait.
At first, it is recommended to take the child to the garden “in dosage”: for several hours, then before lunch. It is better to get acquainted with the teacher and nanny in advance, and also arrange a meeting with them for the future kindergartener. If the rules of the institution allow, you can come with a child for walks - the baby will get used to the teacher and play with other children.
The situation when a child does not want to go to kindergarten is quite common, and there is nothing strange or frightening about it. A kid from the center of the Universe turns into a member of a children's team, breaks up with his beloved mother (all the more so for a few hours it seems like an eternity), a cozy little world from long-familiar and beloved books and toys ... And the main thing that is required from parents at this stage is to calm down , do not cheat yourself and understand that all this you just need to survive. Little time will pass, and the baby will run to the kindergarten with joy.
