Remember, a quality portfolio will allow your children to look neat every time and save you from buying a new one every year. Rospotrebnadzor recommends for schoolchildren of lower grades knapsacks with a form-stable back with a shoulder strap with a width of 35-40 millimeters. Weight of a portfolio for toddlers should not exceed 700 grams, and for a secondary school - 1 kilogram. At the pupil's backpack, there must be reflective elements on the front, side and top surfaces. Lyudmila Marchenko, a school psychologist: - Do not take a child for shopping. It is better to ask in advance a son or daughter about their wishes for color, plot and other nuances. The choice of school goods is great, and a son or daughter may not be able to endure many hours of shopping or be upset if the parents for some reason do not agree with their choice. After purchase, show the child how books, notebooks and accessories are put together in a knapsack so that they can master this mechanism and everything they can do quickly. The school time is a change in the child's whole life. It is necessary to organize the daily routine so that it has enough strength and energy for the whole day. But the regime should not be introduced from September 1, but two or three weeks before the beginning of the school year, so that the baby's body could be reconstructed. Children 7 years must sleep at least 10 hours. To the first-grade to get up at 7 am, he needs to fall asleep at 9 pm. Important is also his independence: he gets up, does exercises, cleans his teeth, washed, dresses. Junior students must walk at least 3 hours a day. After the end of the lessons, the child needs to walk a little before dinner. Then at 13: 30-14: 00 - lunch. After it is better to let the baby rest or even sleep, since after school the first class working capacity drops sharply. The optimal time for lessons, which should not take more than half an hour, from 15:00 to 17:00. After - a walk or extra lessons. Then, according to the schedule at 19:00 dinner. And again a walk that will help to relax and quickly fall asleep to the first class.

School supplies

If not, it is not necessary to empty the wallets by the beginning of the year and buy the entire range of stationery at once, as not everything can be needed in the educational process. It is better to buy necessary gradually - the teacher will warn in advance when something else is needed. By September 1, a pencil case, several ball pens with blue paste, a pair of ballpoint pens with green paste, colored pencils, some simple pencils, a bookstand, plastic ruler length of 15-20 centimeters, an album for drawing, writing-books, covers for notebooks and books. Natalia Safronova, a primary school teacher: - First of all, parents should, before buying school supplies, understand that whatever they buy, this should be first of all convenient for their child and not distract from work, from the knapsack to the eraser. Before buying, try everything yourself. The pencil case should be small and convenient - quickly open and close. Check beforehand how pen pens are written, do not stain the rods. Color pencils should be soft, easy to slide on paper, so that drawing and coloring are a pleasure for the child. It is enough 10 colors. Simple pencils buy quality, medium softness-hardness, which he himself will be easy to grind at home. The parents do not give proper attention to the bookshelf. But it helps to competently organize a student's educational space and forms a correct posture, and also relieves the overstrain of the eye muscles of the baby. Albums for painting is better to buy two or three thin. First, it will save the child from excess weight of knapsack, and secondly, a large album will become unusable before the child has time to use it. Notebooks for writing should be of good printing quality with white pages and clearly traced lines in a tight cover without a picture. Stock up with enough covers for notebooks and books of various sizes of dense quality.

School uniform

In this case, it is necessary to take into account the traditions accepted in school life. Natalya Safronova, primary school teacher: - From the 1st grade, we tell children that school is our job, and we teach them from childhood to distinguish between business clothes and casual clothes, home clothes and clothes for leisure. Boys will need business classic trousers in black, dark blue or gray, a white shirt and several shirts in pastel colors. For girls - a skirt or a sundress of a business style, a white dress shirt and plain dull blouses. Olga Kozhanova, PhD, doctor of the highest category: - Before school, the child undergoes a consultation with specialists, including an ophthalmologist. If a future first-grader has problems with vision, then school will only make the situation worse. In class, such children should sit as close to the board as possible and look at it straight, without squinting. In addition to individual recommendations from a specialist, you should try to organize your workplace at home as competently as possible: the desk should be at the level of the child's chest, the distance between a book or notebook and the child's eyes should be 40-45 centimeters. Form a habit in your child to rest during visual work. Physical exercise and eye exercises: roll your eyes in different directions, blink, shift your gaze from close to distant objects and back. When working, the main lighting should be on the left for right-handed people and, conversely, on the right for left-handed people. Natural lighting is considered the best, but a desk lamp is a necessary attribute for a student. The more contrasting the writing on the sheet, the better for the student, so we choose notebooks with white paper.
