Study begins before kindergarten
Having given the baby to the garden, for the first time parents will find out that the baby should already know and be able to know something. Moms and dads think kindergarten and works in order to teach children. Therefore, they are surprised that children should already know something. The best way to avoid surprises is to clarify this point in advance (if you plan to start in a year, it's time to sort out the question now).
Do not be afraid to protect your children.
Some mothers are nervous and embarrassed to admit to kindergarten workers that the child has an intolerance to certain products or behavior. But this information is extremely important! Whatever happens, protect your child. Tell about all the nuances of his daily life. Communicate with nurses, caregivers and service personnel. Defend the right of your children to receive the care and education they need.
Properly pack food
Now on sale there are lots of pretty bento boxes that allow you to pack food beautifully. But it must also be collected wisely. Educators advise giving food and dishes with them so that the child can easily open and eat them himself. By the time the child gets to the dining room and someone opens a beautiful box of food for him, he will have very little time to eat. Teach to open the boxes, insert the tubes into the drinks, wash and wipe your hands.
Teach basic hygiene
Oddly enough, educators say that for the first time many children independently use the toilet and wash-basin only in kindergarten. Therefore, it is very important that the child be taught this at home - otherwise he is lost and very confused. Tell your child about what will happen, explain what needs to be done and why you should not be afraid of it.
Get involved in group and garden life
The best way to stay in contact with the teacher and know about everything that is happening in the kindergarten is to become a volunteer. Help kindergarten, participate in the activities of the group. Children are very happy when adults come to class and communicate, in addition, it will help you to get to know other parents and educators better.
Understand that the garden tires
A visit to the kindergarten is not a fun walk or entertainment. Parents should be prepared for the fact that their child may be very tired after a day in kindergarten for at least the first few weeks. Take care of enough sleep, rest and nutrition of the child, and do not plan sections and circles for the first time.
Emotions are normal
No one will deem you unbalanced. Getting nervous and worrying is completely normal at first, because it’s about your child. Yesterday he lay in a cradle, and now he has gone to his first educational institution. Of course, you are experiencing a storm of emotions. It is more difficult to send a baby to the kindergarten than to send him to school - for you all this for the first time Spend more time together, do not hesitate to ask questions to teachers.
Believe that everything will be fine
The teacher says your baby will be all right - believe him. At first, you will have to go through several busy weeks, when everyone will get tired and nervous, but the vast majority of children and parents will get used to the new way of life for the 1-1,5 of the month. Soon, the baby will already be asking himself into the kindergarten, and you will finally be able to find some time for yourself while he is busy with interesting things outside the house.
