On Tuesday, the Mid-Autumn Festival, perhaps due to the absence of a consecutive holiday, fewer people traveled, and even the old Mid-Autumn Festival scene of families barbecuing meat in front of their doors was no longer seen.
A couple of days ago, I went to a fish soup store near Linsen Road and met a family of three parents. During the conversation, the father shared that since the child had entered the first grade, his grandparents had come to visit and wanted to take him on a trip together, and that the child no longer took time off from work to go on trips with his grandparents as he had done before, but rather came to go to school, and that the father and mother were very happy with the change in the child's behavior.
It is true that most children are anxious when they first come to kindergarten, and in the process, they slowly adapt and understand that their parents will come to pick them up at the end of the school day, so they will no longer have any crying or restless behavior. Time is a good medicine. After some time, when they have friends, familiar with the environment and work routine, going to school is a happy and expected thing for them, because they have playmates, activities and things they want to do and will do in the kindergarten.
From the space at home to the kindergarten environment, from a small space to a spacious place, we learn to interact with people and interpersonal relationships, especially with children of the same age; and in Kindergarten, we have the opportunity to learn to be a role model and how to lead and be led, which is a very difficult subject to learn at home.
Children have a need for companionship
On Thursday, a young couple came to visit with their 2-year-old baby son. After touring the campus, the principal asked how they found Jen-Ho. The principal asked how they found Jen-Ho. Was it because of alumni, friends or relatives? The father said he came to visit Jen-Ho because he had read about it on the internet and knew that Jen-Ho had a large space, swimming pool and physical fitness facilities. After learning more about the school's philosophy, characteristics, work schedule, and teaching methods, he finally talked about his child, who is an only child and his parents are his playmates.
Dad said that children are very active, and he has a bicycle and a ball for children in his car, which can be used when he goes out for a trip, and this shows his dedication. Children's physical strength and mobility are stronger than that of adults, so children do not get tired, but adults will surrender first.
Afterwards, my mom talked about the problem of napping. At home, children have to be accompanied by their parents when they don't sleep at noon, but the parents asked if the teachers would accompany the children when they don't sleep at noon in the kindergarten. The principal said, "Teachers need to rest at noon, so they can't be with the children all the way, but they will gradually guide and lead the children from sitting to lying down to sleeping, which takes time.
A child's lack of naps may be a result of his or her routine. If he or she sleeps through the morning, he or she won't be able to sleep through the midday, so it's important to adjust his or her routine and develop a regular life from an early age.
Children all need company, and since single children do not have children of their own age to play with at home, they naturally shift their need for company to their parents; it is a typical phenomenon for children to need adults to sleep with them when they get older.
Practice building your child's independent living habits
If the child is a high-energy, high-demand baby who needs companionship from childhood, the parents will have a greater burden in parenting. They have to practice and establish some independent habits at home, such as giving verbal rewards when the child can go to bed on his own, so that the child can feel his own progress.
The principal's advice to the mom was to have a companion for her baby boy. Mom said, "Wouldn't that make me more tired? Think about it. If you can afford to give your child a companion to grow up with, it may be hard at first, but it will be easier on the way to parenting.
Peace to your family.
