As the laughter of the Spring Festival fades away, the new semester is about to kick off. Recently, many parents are sighing: "School is about to start, and the children are still immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and they don't sleep at night and wake up in the morning, either watching TV or playing with mobile phones......."Indeed, for many children, switching from a joyful holiday mode to an intense learning mode is undoubtedly a challenge. The first two weeks of school are a critical period for children to adapt to the new semester and lay a good foundation. As parents, how can we effectively help our children get ready for the new semester?
1. Adjust the status and return to the learning mode
During the holidays, children often have irregular schedules and sleep late, which not only affects their physical health, but also is not conducive to their rapid adaptation to the learning rhythm of the new semester. Therefore, the first thing parents should do is to adjust their children's schedules so that they can gradually return to normal learning and life.
Establish a regular schedule
Parents can work with their children to create a schedule that defines the time for waking up, eating, studying, resting, and having fun each day. At the same time, make sure your child gets enough sleep so they can be energized and engaged in their studies the next day.
Lead by example and set an example
Parents are their children's first teachers and best role models. Parents should go to bed early and get up early, abide by the work and rest time, and use their own behavior to influence and drive their children.
Transition gradually and avoid one-size-fits-all
In the process of adjusting the work and rest time, parents should pay attention to gradual progress and avoid one-size-fits-all. You can start by going to bed half an hour earlier and waking up 10 minutes earlier, and gradually adjust to a normal schedule.
2. Restore study habits and lay a good foundation for the new semester
In addition to adjusting the state of work and rest, restoring good study habits is also a key point for parents to pay attention to before the start of school. Good study habits not only help children improve their learning efficiency, but also develop their self-discipline and self-directed learning ability.
Set clear learning goals
Parents can work with their children to set learning goals for the new semester, including the amount of study time each day, the amount of homework to be completed, and the content to review and prepare. These goals need to be specific, achievable, neither too easy nor too demanding.
Make a study plan and stick to it
According to the learning goals, parents can help their children develop a detailed learning plan, including daily learning tasks, time allocation, etc. At the same time, supervise your child's execution to ensure that they are able to complete their learning tasks on time.
Create a good learning environment
A quiet, tidy, and comfortable learning environment is essential for a child's learning. Parents can prepare a dedicated learning space for their children and remove distractions such as TVs, mobile phones, etc.
Encourage your child to learn independently
Parents should encourage their children to develop the habit of independent learning, learn to think independently and solve problems. Parents can provide guidance and help when their child is struggling, but do not replace their child in completing learning tasks.
Review and preview regularly
Review and preview are important means to improve learning effectiveness. Parents can guide their children to review what they have learned regularly to consolidate their foundation. At the same time, it is also necessary to preview new knowledge in advance to prepare for the new lesson.
3. The role and attitude of parents
As children adjust to the new term, the attitude and role of parents are crucial. Parents should be patient and confident and encourage their children to face challenges and difficulties. At the same time, it is also necessary to give enough support and help to children, so that they can feel the warmth and strength of the family.
In addition, parents should maintain close communication with the school and teachers to understand their child's situation and performance in school, and work together to create a good learning and growth environment for their child.
In conclusion, the first two weeks of school are a critical period for children to adapt to the new semester and lay a good foundation. As parents, we should start by adjusting the state of work and rest, resuming study habits, etc., to help children collect their minds and enter the learning state as soon as possible. At the same time, we should also pay attention to our own roles and attitudes, and give our children enough support and help so that they can achieve better results and progress in the new semester.
