Tips to help parents accompany their children to grade 1

(Baonghean.vn) - Entering first grade, children must get used to a new environment, new ways of learning and new responsibilities. At this stage, children are often confused, half excited, half scared. To help children quickly adapt and get into a stable orbit, parents should note the following.

1. Always ask your child about difficulties at school

Changing environments and learning pressures will make it very difficult for children to adapt. Therefore, never forget to ask your child about problems they cannot solve, such as difficult math problems or conflicts with friends in class. If you listen, you will understand your child much better.

When children encounter difficulties, parents should slowly work with them to resolve them and find solutions.

2. Respect children

The biggest mistake parents make in teaching their children in grade 1 is not listening but always imposing their thoughts on them. You need to understand that children have their own way of thinking, so imposing adult thinking on them will make them feel extremely suffocated, uncomfortable and scared. Instead, give advice in a respectful and non-imposing manner, such as:

Mom thinks that…/According to dad…/Or you can try…/If it were me then…/Do you think there is a better way than… what do you think?/Or you can do it this way… what do you think?

3. Create a study space with your child

According to psychologist Nguyen An Chat, children should be allowed to choose and decorate their study corner as they like. Parents only need to guide their children and help them clean up their study corner to make it neat and clean. Arrange their children's new books and notebooks on the shelf. You can also post a cute schedule. Children will be interested in studying. During the time children study, avoid interrupting such as the supervisor leaving to do other things or letting the children's siblings come to the study table to talk...

4. How to review

Instead of forcing your child to sit and read like a cuckoo, parents should do this, ensuring that their child learns extremely quickly and remembers for a long time. That is when parents stick letters on objects in the house, so that each time the child passes by, they will go out and read the name of an object.

For example: Stick the word "TV" on the TV, both uppercase and lowercase. Your child will read it over and over again when passing by the TV. By then, he will remember the word much faster.

Or parents can ask their children questions like: Have you learned the reading exercise about "an" yet? Did your father/mother learn it when he was little?/When I was little, I learned that the letter "a" with the acute accent was pronounced as á, what about now?/Are uppercase and lowercase letters different? I can't remember...

With such open-ended questions, new students are sure to "lecture" their parents very clearly and coherently. It is also a very effective way to review lessons.

5. Make your child an "expert"

Every night, parents become really "stupid", needing someone to show them. The more ignorant the parents are, the better and faster they will remember. Especially when the child needs to write an essay and the parents are teachers, the child will be very frustrated, but if the parents are students, carrying their notebooks and asking their friends to guide them in writing, they will definitely write very quickly and fluently.

6. Be patient when your child cannot do his homework.

If you see that your child cannot solve a certain exercise, do not rush to scold him. Be calm and patient to help him do that exercise. Next, set up a series of similar and similar exercises for your child to do. This way, your child will understand the lesson and can do it more fluently. If you scold or yell, it will make your child panic, be afraid and unable to learn.

7. Stay calm when your child gets bad grades

In the learning process, mistakes and errors are very normal. So a few bad grades do not mean that your child is bad at studying or lazy. Do not rush to make a judgment, make a fuss, or scold your child. Calmly find out the cause, give advice and help your child solve it. Getting bad grades makes your child feel very sad, parents should not make their child feel more hurt. Because that will lead to the consequence that the child is afraid, even resisting studying anymore.

8. Give your child words of encouragement and praise.

"Wow, my child is improving day by day. Compared to yesterday, today he is much better. Yesterday he didn't learn the lowercase letter "t", but today he even learned the uppercase letter "t".

With the "accidental" compliments that reach their ears, they will be very excited to continue going to school and participating in class activities. Therefore, parents should enthusiastically praise them.

Parents should note: Only praise your child's progress compared to himself, not his score, and absolutely do not compare your child with anyone else. Children who are always number one will later throw a tantrum when they suddenly come in second or lower.
