It can be difficult for parents to decide whether to keep their child in kindergarten for another year or send them to school.
Personal desire has little to do with it. The main thing is to understand whether a kindergartener is ready to become a first-grader.
Experts have explained what points need to be paid attention to.
The main thing is personal interest
If a child is eager to go to school and is of the right age, and has no problems with learning, then there is no point in sitting out another year in the senior group.
Another important condition is the child’s ability to do something purposefully over a long period of time.
A small but
But even in this case, you shouldn't indulge in fantasies and send your first-grader to a school with an in-depth study of a foreign language or a mathematical focus. There are plenty of examples.
In the future, a high workload can have the opposite effect. Especially for a child who is not particularly perseverant.
If in doubt
And if doubts cannot be dispelled, then you can seek help from specialists who will assess the abilities of the future first-grader and give their verdict: whether or not to transfer to school.
But in any case, if age allows and there is uncertainty, then parents should not rush things.
