08.05.2024 19:05

Parents of future first-graders are often afraid that their child will come to school unprepared, i.e. not knowing how to read and count.

But it turns out that moms and dads are thinking about the wrong things when they send their children to developmental and other clubs for the summer.

Experts have explained what skills need to be developed in future first-graders.

Thinking

A future schoolchild should learn to navigate the flow of information. Figuratively speaking, discussions of characters from books or cartoons will help a child understand “what is good”.

He must be able to distinguish truth from fiction, and also come up with different options for performing the same actions.

Sociability and determination

A child should be able to communicate with peers and adults. Be able to choose friends, be able to listen, argue, and so on.

At the same time, the child must understand that in order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to make some effort, be patient, and persevere.

Independence

A future schoolchild must understand the importance of following a daily routine.

It is desirable that he himself understands when he needs to go to bed and when to wake up, brush his teeth, wash his hands, and so on.

Parents only need to supervise the child.
