A child's first year at school is not the most difficult period compared to what parents still have to go through.
Simple tasks, minor expenses for repairing the classroom - mere trifles. But this does not stop some moms and dads from ruining this period for their children.
It all starts long before the first bell rings, reports the publication “ Gorod55 ” with reference to an expert.
Mistakes of parents of first-graders
1. It is unacceptable to impose your system of values on a child, but this is exactly what parents do when they say that a child should study better than everyone else and think faster than everyone else.
Accept it – the scale of assessing a child’s knowledge at school is not the most important thing. The teachers themselves say so.
2. If you have any unpleasant memories not only of the first grade, but also of subsequent school years, then keep them to yourself.
It is unlikely that a small child will understand you correctly.
3. Parents often place too much responsibility on first-graders.
But such a strict regime will not lead to anything good. The student's anxiety level may soon increase, and other symptoms may appear.
4. It is unacceptable to compare children with classmates and other children, to scold them for mistakes and poor academic performance.
You also need to know how to praise. You can't repeat every day how smart your son or daughter is growing up.
Praise should help develop the child's strengths.
