Even the most experienced psychologist will never tell you how your little son or daughter will behave when she first visits a kindergarten. But still, sooner or later, each baby will have to go to this institution, which means that parents will need to prepare for solving probable problems in advance. What is it, the first day in kindergarten and how to help the child get used to the new environment and surroundings?
Where to start acquaintance with the kindergarten?
Try to explain to the baby in advance that very soon he will spend some time in kindergarten. Explain clearly and in detail what this place is. As arguments, you can use the need to prepare for school or recall that in the kindergarten you can play common games with other kids, there are many new toys. Remind your child that he can learn a lot of new and interesting things. In advance or on the first day in the kindergarten, go around the institution with the baby, do not forget to get acquainted with the nanny and the teacher. Do not forget to tell and warn the baby about everything. If in the
first days, leading to a kindergarten, you will “drop it out” there, quickly running away about your business and not promising to return, at best, the child will be offended by you. At worst, he feels unnecessary and unloved and closes in himself for a long time.
How to spend 1 day in kindergarten?
All child psychologists recommend leaving the baby first for half a day in the garden, and only when he gets used to it - until the evening. However, some children at the sight of new toys and a large number of peers themselves forget about their mother and run away to play. But another kid may well arrange a tantrum. If the
first day in kindergarten is terrifying for your child, try staying with him in this institution unusual for him. But be aware that not all gardens will be allowed to attend due to existing rules. If it is impossible for parents to be in the territory of the preschool institution, on the first day pick up the baby immediately after a morning walk. Gradually increase the length of the baby’s stay in the garden, and after a week and a half he will remain there for the whole day.
We send the child to kindergarten in accordance with all the rules
On the eve of going to the garden, prepare all the necessary things, include the main character - your child, in fees. Put a set of clean linen, replacement shoes, napkins or a regular handkerchief, a comb. If you need anything else, you will probably be told in the garden itself. In the morning, do not forget to take your baby’s favorite toy. Do not be too lazy to get up early, the training on the first day in the kindergarten should not be held in a hurry. Try to bring the baby up to date on the way, tell what you will do, and name the time when you come for him. But say goodbye to the baby quickly, kiss him, wish a good day and leave. Even if the child begins to act up, do not try to convince him or calm him down. Believe me, an experienced teacher will do it better than you. When you come to pick up the baby, ask how his first day went in kindergarten. Be interested in the story, praise the child for the fact that he is so well and quickly accustomed to the new environment. But if the first day did not cause delight, try to convince the baby to try to be more friendly with other children.
