What is the right age for children to go to school?

Many parents who do not have elderly people at home to help take care of their children would like to send their children to school early, but at what age is it appropriate for children to go to school? If it is a kindergarten, many parents will send their children to school when they are around three years old, and some will send them to school before they are three years old. Regarding going to primary school, our country has strict regulations, that is, children must be at least six years old to enter school, but kindergartens can be chosen according to one's own needs, and some kindergartens do not accept children under two years old.

How old is the best age for a baby to go to kindergarten?

The best age for children to go to kindergarten: The normal age for children to go to kindergarten is two and a half years old.

Since children stay at home for a long time in a relatively closed environment and have little contact with other children, some children may not adapt to the environment in kindergarten and start crying as soon as they arrive. At this time, parents should not force their children to go to kindergarten for the time being. What should I do if my child cries in kindergarten? What parents need to do is to arrange for their children to play with other children around them every day, teach them how to get along with others, let them establish friendships with other children, and let them like the atmosphere of group life. As a parent, don't be too anxious. This process takes time. If it is convenient, take your child to kindergarten as a bystander and let him gradually become interested in kindergarten.

Whether or not a child should go to kindergarten is a matter of knowledge, and the mental development of the children should also be taken into consideration.

The idea of ​​trying to get children to start school early does need to be considered. Early childhood education experts have found that before the second grade of elementary school, more than three-quarters of the youngest children in the class are prone to emotional distress, childhood neurosis, academic failure, and poor adaptation to group life.

What preparations should be made before admission?

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. In preparation for school entry, your child should be familiar with the home phone number, parents' workplace, cell phone number and other contact information so that if special circumstances 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 teachers emphasize preparation for school, parents should cooperate at home so that babies can develop correct practices and sitting postures when they just learn 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.
