The start of school is imminent, and children are in a state of flux and do not want to start school, but parents are very worried about whether their children will be able to transition from a relaxed and long holiday state to a learning state. In the face of changes in work and rest time from relaxed to regular, living environment from comfortable to tense, learning rhythm from relaxed to tight, and learning pressure from small to large, parents can help their children adapt to the new semester better and faster through the following four countermeasures.
1. Accept your child's emotions at this stage and help your child overcome the "emotional barrier".
In the value decision-making module of the "active learning system", a very important aspect is discussed, that is, the emotional level, the meaning level, and the method level. When a child encounters a problem, he must first overcome the emotional barrier before moving on to the next thing. Just like we have resistance to work, children will also have resistance to the start of school, at this time parents should do to understand, not inappropriate, and also do not use a tough attitude to treat children's emotions.
Parents can find a free time to sit down and communicate with their children, so that their children can change their mindset. You can also discuss a "school opening ceremony" with your child, such as going to the store to buy items needed for the start of school, going out to relax together for the last time, and agreeing on a time to adjust your schedule when you come back. Regardless of the form, our ultimate goal is to change the child's disgust with school, so that the child can be engaged in positive emotions so that he can happily welcome the start of school.
2. Work with your child to make plans and rules for the new semester
When formulating the rules for the new semester with your child, parents need to follow the three principles of having an agreement beforehand, reminding them in the event, and summarizing them afterwards. Before making rules, discuss them with your child; Feedback should be given in a timely manner afterwards, and the child's behavior of abiding by the rules as agreed should be affirmed and supported in a timely manner, and on the contrary, parents should also take some small "punishment" measures appropriately.
3. "Separation" from electronic equipment
At the beginning of the new semester, parents should also help their children to "disconnect" from electronic devices and reduce the time spent using electronic devices. Specifically, parents can reduce the interference of electronic devices to their children by putting them on silent, putting them out of sight, and so on. When your child asks for a device, let him focus on the task at hand and wait 10 minutes to reduce his or her strong preference for the device. Finally, parents can also take advantage of the appropriate reduction of academic tasks to guide their children out of the house, enrich their leisure life, divert their attention, and be more exposed to the world beyond electronic products.
Fourth, sort out the learning results of the holiday
The first thing I do at the beginning of school is to turn in my winter vacation homework. Sorting out the learning results of a winter vacation, and reflecting and summarizing the work is a good habit that parents need to let their children develop.
Once the habit is formed, it will make the child form an unconscious behavior, and they will reflect and summarize their behavior for a period of time, which is very conducive to their future growth and can also allow them to welcome the arrival of the new semester in a better state.
We understand that children don't want to go to school, but it's something that children have to do. Therefore, as parents, only by helping their children alleviate this kind of boredom can they really let their children change their habits and welcome the arrival of the new semester.
