Parents of a future first-grader work hard to ensure that their child learns to read and count before starting school.
Children are diligently taken to developmental classes, sports, foreign languages. But the main thing remains out of sight of caring moms and dads.
Experts have named three important skills that a future first-grader should have. All of them will be useful in the future.
First of all, communication skills
A child should be able to communicate with peers and adults. He should be able to convey his thoughts, answer questions, ask them himself, tell, retell.
It is interesting that all these useful qualities can be instilled without much effort through ordinary reading.
Secondly, concentration
It's about the ability to focus on one thing and get results.
In this regard, parents need to be careful with gadgets and TV. It is better to play board games, learn poems, instill the concept of discipline and develop willpower.
Thirdly, independence
If a child is independent and at the same time proactive, then you don’t have to worry about his future.
These qualities can be developed with the help of construction sets, puzzles and other toys that will help children learn about the world and prevent them from getting bored.
