3 Phrases Parents Should Say to a Future First Grader

27.06.2023 00:01

In two months, a new school year will begin. Many children will go to school for the first time.

Parents of future first-graders want their child to be mentally prepared for school life.

To do this, the boy or girl needs to say a few important phrases.

Many people regret not hearing these words before going to first grade.

"You don't need to chase good grades"

The child must immediately understand that good grades are not the most important thing. The fact of acquiring knowledge is more important.

Grades do not always correspond to the student’s efforts and skills.

A good student can also accidentally get a bad grade (and soon improve his grade). And the highest score is often given to students who never mastered the material.

Therefore, you need to chase not so much grades, but knowledge.

"Don't let yourself be offended"

A school class is a full-fledged group, the composition of which can remain the same for 11 years.

If a child does not find a common language with his classmates, then school life will become a real hell for him.

This does not mean that the baby should be friends with everyone. It is enough to just be friendly.

And under no circumstances should you allow yourself to be offended: if necessary, you must defend yourself.

"We need to be told about threats"

It is desirable that the child immediately understands that threats against him should not be ignored.

Facts like these should be told to parents at the first opportunity: mom and dad will take action.

And the child should not consider his stories as “snitchcraft.”
