The pleasant winter vacation is coming to an end, and the children are busy writing their holiday homework at home. Many parents find that the closer to the start of school, the more unstable their children's emotions become, anxious, unhappy, and they lose their temper and mouth from time to time. Parents will feel that their children do not like to start school and deliberately look for awkwardness, so this situation occurs. Actually, it's not right. To put it more seriously, the child's performance of not adapting to the study life of the new semester is called by psychologists"Back-to-school syndrome"。Also called"Fear of starting school"。
Back-to-school syndrome"There are many manifestations, and the physiological manifestations are: insomnia, drowsiness and some unexplained dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, urinary incontinence, tiredness, loss of appetite, etc.; Psychologically, it is mostly manifested as: memory loss, comprehension decline, school boredom, anxiety, emotional instability, etc., which are more common in primary and secondary school students. To put it bluntly, it is an evasive reaction that children do not like to start school.
So what kind of child is easy to have"Fear of starting school"This? For example, students with low psychological quality and poor adaptability, students who are often criticized by teachers at school, students with poor academic performance, students who cannot adapt quickly to the new environment, and some excellent students who pursue perfection too much.
In order to avoid such a situation in the child, parents should start intervening in advance. During the holidays, the child's life is extremely irregular, and there is no reasonable plan for study and leisure activities. The time left after completing the limited homework every day is almost entirely filled with watching TV, playing games, irregular sleep and a lot of snacks, and the comfortable lifestyle during these holidays will make children nostalgic, and they will be worried about the intense study life they will face after the start of school, and unintentionally have a feeling of resistance and fear of starting school. Parents should prepare in advance: gradually adjust their children's work and rest time, help them slowly adjust their psychological state, and take back the overly relaxed heart in holiday life. By chatting with the children, summarizing and recalling the holiday life, the children realize that the start of school is imminent, and they should devote themselves to the study of the new semester and gradually enter the state of preparation for learning. The important thing to note here is to give the child a buffer time, and it is best to give the child tips gradually one to two weeks in advance:
1. Before the start of school, you need to adjust your work and rest, and you can't stay up late and strive to fall asleep before ten o'clock every day, which is conducive to growing taller.
2. Diet. Eat on time every day, especially breakfast every day with a glass of milk, an egg.
3. Exercise. Exercise stimulates the brain to produce dopamine to produce positive emotions and also relieves anxiety.
4. Study. You can use the pre-study homework to simulate the state of learning early at the beginning of the school year and alleviate the fear.
Children are always simple, as long as parents can deal with their children's fundamental emotions in a timely manner, and pave the way for children to face greater pressure in the future, it is already very good. The most important thing is not to blindly fight with your child and get caught up in bigger emotions.
