Faced with the problem of children's resistance to kindergarten, parents need to avoid passive waiting and simple response, but use wisdom and strategies to guide their children to adapt to the new environment and maintain close cooperation with teachers. Here are some tips to help parents and teachers work together to facilitate a smooth transition.
First of all, understand, accept and guide your child's emotions positively. Psychologist Eric Erickson's "Theory of Psychosocial Development" mentions that children at the age of 3-6 years are faced with an active psychological conflict over guilt, and they need to build self-confidence through self-control, exploration and learning. When children resist going to kindergarten, parents should listen patiently to their inner feelings and relieve their separation anxiety with understanding and acceptance. At the same time, you can use picture book stories (such as "I Love Kindergarten", etc.) or share the stories of children who have successfully adapted to kindergarten life to help children understand that kindergarten is a place full of fun, learning and growth.
Secondly, prepare for entering the park and simulate training in advance. Educator Maria Montessori emphasized the importance of the environment to children's development, and parents can simulate the life of kindergarten at home, such as regular schedules, group games, independent meals, etc., so that children can familiarize themselves with the basic processes of kindergarten. In addition, regular visits to the kindergarten and meeting with teachers allow children to gradually build a sense of closeness and trust with teachers.
In addition, children should develop self-care and social skills. The famous educator John Dewey believed that "education is life", and parents should exercise their children's self-care skills in daily life, such as dressing themselves and organizing their school bags, and at the same time encourage them to interact with other children in public places such as communities and parks, so as to cultivate basic communication and collaboration skills.
Finally, we actively conduct in-depth exchanges and cooperation with teachers. The American educator Holmes once said, "Education is a team sport." "Parents should regard teachers as important partners, communicate with teachers regularly about their children's performance at home and their reactions to kindergarten life, share parenting experience, and seek professional advice. Depending on the specific reasons for the child's resistance to kindergarten, such as introversion, fear of unfamiliar environment, or specific difficulties, parents and teachers can work together to develop individualized intervention strategies, such as adjusting the adjustment period, providing additional attention and support, or adopting a progressive approach to kindergarten.
In short, in the face of the problem of children's resistance to kindergarten, parents not only need to adopt an attitude of understanding and acceptance, but also help children adapt to the new environment through reasonable guidance and practical operation, and at the same time, they should work together with teachers to form a joint educational force, and solve the challenges faced by children through in-depth exchanges and cooperation, so that they can gradually grow into confident, independent and small citizens with good social communication skills in the small society of kindergarten.
