Многие родители, отдавая ребенка в первый класс, worry about how well first graders adapt to school. The most important for the child the first days spent at school, but it is worth remembering that in total the addiction will last the entire first year.
Psychologists distinguish three important periods, afterwhich will be diagnosed. Adaptation of first-graders to school is measured at the end of the first week, the first half of the year and the school year. Only by summing up the general indicators that will be obtained at the same time, and following the dynamics, we can talk about how well a first grader has adapted.
Поступление в школу открывает для ребенка новый activity - learning. And if before the leading activity of the kid was a game, now now new demands are being made on him from the side of adults. It is important to prevent at the initial stage, when first-graders adapt, the loss of interest and motivation to study takes place, because all further training will be based on this.
It has long been observed that fewer difficulties are experienced.children attending kindergarten. They already have experience of being in a team, they know how to obey an adult (in this case, a teacher) and follow certain rules when communicating with their peers. To this it is necessary to add a more or less stable immunity to childhood infections, which allows you to skip classes less, which means it reduces the possibility of lag in the school curriculum.
If the child spent his preschool childhood at home,then the likelihood that the adaptation period will take longer and with greater problems increases. This is explained not only by the fact that his parents did not explain something to him or did not prepare him well, but by the inability to communicate in the children's team and under the guidance of an adult. Usually, these children often get tired in the classroom, their attention is scattered, and the adaptation of first-graders is more difficult. Therefore, parents of "domestic" children, in addition to learning letters and numbers, should play with the child in school. You can put him at his desk and in the game explain to him the rules of behavior during his studies.
Marks throughout the first class notare put. The work of children is estimated by the teacher by saying or writing in a notebook such as “Good for you”, “Good”, “Try”, etc. It is important for parents to adequately respond to these comments, without scolding the child too much for satisfactory work. It is worth remembering that over time he can catch up, and by the end of the year, a first grader can level out with his classmates, or even bypass them as knowledge. Very important is the identity of the teacher in the process of adaptation. If this is a qualified and competent specialist, then the risk of developing negative attitudes towards school is minimized.
When an adaptation of first-graders is diagnosed,a huge role is given to the level of anxiety of children. If a child is tall, you need to think. This problem may be resolved by the usual transfer of a child to another class or, in extreme cases, another school. The fact is that sometimes there can be conflicts between children or for some reason, perhaps subjective, the child cannot perceive the teacher as a leader. Then there are fears and a persistent reluctance to go to school, as a result, academic performance falls. Such a problem should be solved immediately, without waiting for it to become chronic.
Таким образом, адаптация первоклассников зависит from many factors. And the main task of both parents and teachers is to create the most comfortable conditions for this. It must be remembered that the motivation for further study is formed at this stage, and this is one of the main components of successful schooling.
