Good habits that your baby should develop before going to school

1. Be proficient in personal information

For babies, going to school means entering a brand new learning environment. At this time, the first thing they need to do is to be able to introduce themselves to others correctly. Babies should be able to write their own names proficiently, because they will inevitably have homework or tests after going to school. Some babies' names have more strokes, and if they are not proficient, sometimes a lot of time will be wasted just writing their names, and they will be anxious and sweating. Some babies simply cannot write and draw circles instead, which will have an impact on the baby's psychology. Make sure your baby is familiar with home phone numbers, parents' workplaces, cell phones and other contact information so that if special situations arise, they can communicate with their parents at any time or receive help from teachers or parents. Prepare stationery for your baby, let him learn to pack his own school bag, and place personal belongings in an orderly manner, so that he can develop good habits of doing things at a fixed time and putting things in a fixed place from an early age.

2. Develop good study habits

Before the third grade of elementary school, you don't need to pay too much attention to your baby's academic performance, because the courses and knowledge content are relatively simple. 100 points and 80 points may be the result of right or wrong answer in a question, or carelessness, and cannot reflect the baby's true intelligence level. The key is to develop good study habits and lay a solid foundation for the future. Babies’ learning mostly relies on the teacher’s explanation in class, so babies must develop good listening habits. You can strengthen the training by telling them stories and other methods to improve their concentration. Correct writing posture is very important to protect baby's eyesight. Many babies have just started to learn to write, and they have all kinds of pen-holding postures, with the pen not straight or horizontally, and their bodies are crooked. These bad habits must be corrected as early as possible. While the teacher emphasizes this, parents should cooperate at home to enable the baby to develop correct practices and sitting postures when he just learns to write. To help your baby develop good reading habits, after completing homework on time, set aside some time every day to read extracurricular books. Reading is beneficial.

3. Develop good work and rest habits

When babies are young, they mainly play games. Sometimes they stay in bed late or go to kindergarten half an hour late, but parents don’t think it matters. But it is completely different after going to school. There are strict get out of class times, and being late will delay the courses you have learned. Parents can buy a small alarm clock for the baby, and make an agreement with the baby that as soon as the alarm rings, it is time for the baby to get up, and the baby must get up immediately, otherwise the sun will burn the baby's butt. Training should be done on time for a period of time before school starts, and slowly the baby will form this biological clock and develop the habit of getting up on time. Let your baby go to the toilet every once in a while in order to adapt to the needs of class and avoid going to the toilet all the time during class.
