How to Prepare a Child for September 1: Psychologists Advise Parents Not to Lie
The song about a first-grader, which is played in every school yard on September 1, is about a holiday that is serious and cheerful.
But modern moms and dads should not indulge in personal memories of school and their bygone youth. Only a model child can call the end of summer vacation a holiday.
Children's psychologist Olesya Pokusaeva told NEWS.ru about how to talk to children about the September 1 holiday.
Sooner or later, the child will come to the idea that school is not a playground where everything is possible.
And buying a school uniform, supplies, flowers, and so on is just tinsel and a necessity.
In addition, with the start of a new school year, the child has new responsibilities, which after a carefree vacation can be called stressful.
Therefore, parents do not need to lie about school being a place where it is always fun and interesting.
The main task at this stage is to inspire the child to want to learn and gain knowledge.
To do this, we need to talk about the benefits and prospects that education gives people.
The expert advises to talk about how education broadens your social circle.
That in the future it is possible to make a discovery or achieve other high results.
