With the start of the school season, many children are facing their first big challenge in life – entering kindergarten. It's a transition from family to society, and for children, it means learning to be independent and get along with others, and it also means parents starting to learn to let go. However, in the process, we will find that some children are able to adapt to their new environment with ease, while others will cry incessantly because of separation anxiety.
So why are some children able to take this change so calmly? A senior kindergarten principal said that these children who do not cry or make trouble often come from families with the following three advantages, which allow children to benefit a lot in the process of growing up.
1. Pay attention to early education and prepare children in advance
Nowadays, more and more parents are beginning to pay attention to their children's early education. Not only will they provide their children with a variety of enlightenment materials at home, but they will also choose to send their children to an early education center to experience group life in advance. Such families are often able to raise more confident, cheerful and adaptable children.
The environment of the early learning center is similar to that of a kindergarten, with a fixed schedule of schedules and activities, where children can learn how to get along with people, how to follow rules, and how to complete tasks independently. This kind of experience allows children to adapt to the new environment more quickly and reduce anxiety when they enter the kindergarten.
In addition, the early learning center will develop children's social, hands-on and creative skills through a variety of games and activities. These abilities not only help children better integrate into group life, but also lay a solid foundation for their future studies and lives.
2. Focus on cultivating children's independence and self-care ability
Independence is a very important ability in a child's development. An independent child is better able to adapt to new environments and solve new problems. Self-care skills are a concrete manifestation of a child's independence, including basic life skills such as eating, dressing, and going to the toilet.
In family education, focusing on cultivating children's independence and self-care ability means that parents should be willing to let go and let their children try and experience. When a child encounters a problem, parents do not immediately help solve it, but encourage the child to find a way to solve it by himself. This kind of education method allows children to be more relaxed when facing a new environment.
In kindergarten, children need to complete some simple tasks independently, such as tidying up toys, putting on ** clothes, etc. A child with strong self-care skills who is able to complete these tasks with ease, which will lead to praise from teachers and recognition from peers, will further enhance the child's self-confidence and independence.
3. The family atmosphere is harmonious and the children's emotions are satisfied
A harmonious family atmosphere is an important guarantee for children's emotional satisfaction. In such a family, children can feel the love and support of their parents, so as to build a good emotional foundation.
When children enter kindergarten, they may feel uneasy and anxious when faced with a new environment and relationships. But if they know that there is a warm home waiting for them whenever and wherever they are, then their anxiety will be greatly relieved.
In addition, a harmonious family atmosphere can also develop children's empathy and social skills. Children who grow up in such families will know how to get along with others and how to care for others. Such qualities will also be well reflected in the kindergarten, making it easier for children to integrate into group life.
In short, behind a child who does not cry or make trouble, there is often a family that pays attention to early education, cultivates children's independence and self-care ability, and has a harmonious family atmosphere. These advantages not only allow children to easily adapt to their new environment when they enter kindergarten, but also lay a solid foundation for their future growth. Therefore, as parents, we should start from ourselves and create a good environment for our children to grow up.
