They say other people's children grow up quickly. And I think that our own people are not lagging behind. After all, only yesterday you were discharged from the hospital, there was a small, sweet lump in your arms, then the first steps, the first team on the playground, the first acquaintance with the kindergarten, someone with tears in their eyes, and someone with a smile from ear to ear , the first graduation in my life and the first in my life First class.
I look at my daughter and wonder myself, when did she manage to grow up? I was always with you and didn't I notice how quickly you matured? The first of September for first graders and their parents is like the last call for graduates - a new countdown, a new milestone, a start, hopes, expectations, experiences, especially for parents. Our children are better than us in everything: more collected, organized, quicker, smarter. And we, either because of an overabundance of feelings, or from drunk Corvalol, worry more on the line than our children.
The most important thing is that we, as parents, do not get hung up on talking about how difficult it is to study at school. After all, for this we and parents, to make life easier for our children in primary school, especially in the first grade. At least by the fact that we will buy school uniforms and shoes that do not require special skills and superpowers when fastening and lacing them. After all, at school you will have to master so many difficult things. So let the little ones not be bothered by everyday difficulties.
But this in no way means that we should do everything for the child. Parents are helpers. We will share together our great victories and our little sorrows, but they are ours. The main thing is not to chase after someone: someone knows how to read? Perfectly! Someone already writes in words? Wonderful! Does anyone sing songs in English? Aerobatics! But is this the main thing? The main thing is that together with the children we live their life and love them not because they can, but because they are special and the way they are and we don't need others!
Teaching them to be independent is our task. Explain and explain that studying, preparing lessons is a private matter for children, not parents. Of course, checking the completed assignments, and in the first grade, and in elementary school, preparation will still be under our vigilant control, but he should be unobtrusive so that as he grows older, the child would turn to us only in any difficulties, and what he can do, he would try to do it himself.
And, of course, rest. Do not forget about him in any way. After all, children have worked at school, and have every right to good rest. And our first-graders deserve it doubly.
It is very important to tune in to the positive: the school will give knowledge, new acquaintances, the child will learn everything, he will definitely learn. The main thing is moral preparation for school. I know that my child is ready, I am not quite yet, and my daughter is counting the days until September 1. She even signed a stack of squared notebooks. Do you think I scolded her? No. After all, she herself, with her own hand, wrote her name and surname. On thirty notebooks! After all, this is a colossal work! I smiled and said: "Nastya, we can safely go to the first grade!"
And we go, with beautiful white bows, in a beautiful school uniform, with a large bouquet of flowers for the first teacher, who will become the most beloved for my child. Because that's how it should be. Yes, even with a smart, bright head, where we will accumulate and draw all the most interesting, important and necessary that the school gives, so that this knowledge will help us when entering a higher school - the School of Life.
