Preparing for the school year is a complex process that requires a lot of effort from parents.
- First-grader goes to school healthy
A healthy body can more easily adapt to changeschedule and new types of loads, so the child should not have acute diseases, and chronic ones should not be in remission. Before entering school, children undergo a medical examination, which includes a visit to a pediatrician, otolaryngologist, ophthalmologist, dentist, neurologist, orthopedist, surgeon.
- Immunoprophylaxis - in advance
At 6-7 years of age, children are given a revaccination againstsome infections. Vaccination is another type of burden on the child's body, so you should not delay it and put it off until the beginning of the school year. Doctors recommend getting all scheduled vaccinations in advance.
- Examination of speech therapist and psychoneurologist
If a preschooler pronounces sounds incorrectly,This will lead to the fact that at school he will write and read with mistakes. But even in the first grade, it is not too late to contact a speech therapist. In addition, at first it may be necessary to consult a psychologist. A school class is a fundamentally new group, which differs in many respects from a kindergarten group. If in kindergarten children played together, built fortresses in the sandbox, drew, sculpted, then at school everyone does assignments on their own. At the very beginning of their education, children show personal qualities and the makings of a leader. But the most important thing is that the teacher comes to the forefront, who demands that children be diligent and attentive. If by the end of the quarter the child experiences difficulties in communication or study, it is necessary to seek help from teachers and doctors in order to promptly identify violations.
- Compliance with the daily routine
A schoolchild aged 6-7 needs 9-10 hours of sleep.It is better to go to bed before midnight, ideally at 9 pm. In the summer, the routine is probably out of whack, so at least 2-3 weeks before the start of the school year, you need to gradually shift your sleep and wake up time to an earlier time. If there are any secondary matters -grandma, sorting out books and toys, etc. – they should be moved to the weekend so that you can devote the entire day to them.
- Proper nutrition
If the food in the kindergarten was strictorganized and did not depend on parents, now you have to think it through yourself. In the morning, breakfast is a must: fermented milk products, sandwiches, porridge, warm tea. Carbonated water, chips, chocolate, juices are the cause of chronic gastrointestinal pathology. Instead of them, you can put a bottle of mineral water or yogurt in your backpack.
- To organize a workplace
The desk should be located near the window and wellilluminated. It is necessary to remove all extraneous elements from it: , photographs in frames, mugs, a cell phone - in a word, everything that distracts from doing homework. All furniture should correspond to the child's height. It is not advisable to buy an office chair: it disrupts posture, and besides, it distracts from studying (children constantly spin on them).
- The right choice of a backpack and clothes
Each school determines the type of school uniformindependently. However, if there are no such requirements, parents choose the clothes themselves. They should not restrict movement, be tight or provocative. It is advisable to buy replacement shoes made of genuine leather. A backpack with soft, comfortable straps is preferable to a shoulder bag or briefcase, which disrupt posture. We recommend reading:
