What preparations do parents need to make when kindergarten starts?

The summer vacation is coming to an end, and the toddler has grown into a "little adult", ready to step into the "small society" of the kindergarten and upgrade. Can not be separated from the meticulous care of parents, whether children can smoothly adapt to kindergarten life has become a topic of concern and concern for parents.

What do freshmen need to prepare for entering the park in September? How should parents help their children smoothly enter a brand-new educational environment? Today, I will provide some preparation suggestions for parents from three aspects: material preparation, psychological preparation and skill preparation.

I. Preparation of admission materials

(1) Putting a special logo on a child's name helps the child to know and find his own things faster, and also gives the child a sense of security and belonging psychologically. Children's personal items such as bedding, clothes and schoolbags in the park need to be sewn, pasted or printed with their names.

(2) Outdoor activity kettle Parents should prepare their children's drinking pots in advance, with a capacity of about 250-300ml. Avoid using glass materials, let children replenish water in time when they are outdoors, and gradually develop the habit of drinking water on demand.

(3) Schoolbag

Prepare a small schoolbag and a kettle for changing clothes with the children. Special marks are not necessarily names, but can also be customized, such as stickers of small animals that children like. This is also to cultivate children's feelings of going to kindergarten, carry their own schoolbags to kindergarten and pack their own things.

(4) Spare clothes and sweat towels

Children are lively and often need to change clothes in the park for various reasons, so parents should always prepare a set of spare underwear (including underwear and socks), and children can change them in time in case of emergency to avoid catching a cold. At the same time, spare 2-3 sweat towels, children may sweat a lot after outdoor activities, and clean small towels can be convenient for children to scrub. It can be stored in the sorting bag, which is convenient for teachers to help children change, and at the same time, it can also cultivate children's sorting consciousness and sorting ability.

(5) Comfortable sports shoes A pair of comfortable and easy-to-put shoes can ensure that children don't fall and can make their activities safer. The size should not be too large or crowded, and it is easy to fall when running, which is not conducive to the development of children's feet. Try to choose hook and loop's hook and loop shoes, so that children can learn to put on and take off their shoes as soon as possible and gain a sense of accomplishment in self-care. Prefer sports shoes. Children spend at least 2 hours in the park for outdoor activities every day. Leather shoes and sandals are not suitable for children's outdoor activities. (6) Children like small toys.

Kindergarteners are generally allowed to bring one or two toys that they particularly like, or things that accompany their children to grow up. Because keeping some familiarity in a strange environment can effectively alleviate the baby's anxiety about entering the park. Just like a comfortable towel, it is essentially a quilt, but its actual function is to provide children with a sense of security.

(7) Personal head photo

Prepare 6-7 photos of the child's personal head, and stick them on the bag cabinet, seat, teacup, towel and other places to help the child find personal belongings as soon as possible.

(8) Bedclothes for kindergartens

Wash and dry the quilts and bedding in the kindergarten in advance, and remember to mark them to avoid the rainy weather disrupting the preparation for school.

(9) Information required for admission

Birth certificate, vaccination certificate, admission health examination form, etc. One week before entering the park, parents are advised to check the list issued by the kindergarten one by one to avoid omission.

Second, the psychological preparation for entering the park

Kindergarten is the first time that a child faces a strange environment alone. Without familiar friends and family, everything has to be explored from scratch. Therefore, material preparation is on the one hand, and more importantly, parents should prepare their children psychologically to avoid their anxiety about entering the park.

For example, tell more interesting stories about kindergartens; Bring children around the kindergarten to familiarize themselves with the environment, thus stimulating their desire to go to kindergarten. Before entering the park, ask the teacher which children are in the same class in the same community, so that the children can get familiar with them in advance and have their own small partners after entering the park, and make a natural transition.

Third, the preparation skills before entering school

Cultivate children's eating habits

After children enter kindergarten, parents are most concerned about whether their children are "full" and "well-fed". Therefore, they should make preparations before entering kindergarten, let the children learn to eat by themselves, and make him feel that eating is a happy thing. On the other hand, adjusting children's diet time and structure in advance, the closer to the kindergarten's diet arrangement, the better. At least the gastrointestinal tract does not need to be readjusted, which is beneficial to digestion and absorption.

Adjust your child's schedule.

When the child is at home, the mother can deliberately arrange the baby's activities according to the kindergarten schedule. For example, to help the baby establish a suitable nap habit, the nap in the general kindergarten is arranged from 12: 30 to 2: 30 pm. The admission time is between 7: 40 and 8: 00 in the morning, and the sleep time at night is preferably not later than 9: 00.

Cultivate children's independent ability

Going to the toilet independently is the most basic self-care skill for children. It is related to the establishment of children's self-esteem. Children who can go to the toilet independently are calmer and have a shorter transition period after entering the park. From now on, don't help children take off their pants in advance when going to the toilet, and try to encourage them to take off themselves.

Don't let your child use a small kettle all the time because it is convenient and worry-free, because most kindergartens use water cups, and letting children drink water from water cups can also exercise their coordination ability. It doesn't matter how many times you sprinkle it. It is important to sum up experience with children and find the skills of not sprinkling water. Keeping in line with the lifestyle of kindergarten helps children adapt to kindergarten life.

Train children to express their needs.

In kindergarten, you will always encounter difficulties that you can't solve, so it is very important to learn to ask for help! Some children are shy and introverted, afraid to ask the teacher for help. Parents should tell their children that teachers are as willing to help her as mothers. In addition, parents need to teach their children how to express their needs clearly. For example, when they feel thirsty, they should say, "Teacher, I want to drink water". When you are not full, you should say "teacher, I want to eat some more"; When you feel uncomfortable, you should say, "Teacher, I feel uncomfortable" and so on.

Cultivate learning skills in advance

Kindergarten is also a place to learn knowledge, and the cultivation of learning skills can begin with learning to listen. Parents should consciously train their children to listen to others quietly and intently. It can be one minute at first, then five or ten minutes. In this process, children can repeat what you mentioned and train their concentration.
