Homework for preschoolers ... What is your reaction to this practice? Well, let me first of all clear what kind of homework I am referring to me. It 's the way a child needs to copy the pages of a number of alphabets or words. And if your child is learning mandarin, it would be copying pages of Chinese characters. In view of this controversial issue, it appears that three types of parents:
Parents who laugh at the thought of pre-tasks. They say that is absurd andunnecessary. Repetitive writing is not all good. Children should play in this age, because that's how you learn. Homework takes the fun in learning.
Parents say it's necessary. How else are parents going to school knowing their children to learn something. Review and practice is a must, even if it is boring. Plus it gives children the opportunity to learn discipline. They need it, when they are ready for school "real."
Parents, 50/50. Youstrongly agree that the game is important. But even they agree that a home has its advantages. The problem is that I'm confused:
Learning should be fun. Homework is not fun. It kills the enthusiasm for my son.
But it must serve some good work. If not, why did not favor the idea launched.
If I am not interested in working at home, it is still ok, because to learn other ways. But if you do not care and do your homework, you do not learn discipline. And later, when it comes to school "real"split in their homework.
So what am I? The one, the confusion spell.
The following is a typical roller coaster going through. I'm sure many parents are using the following process:
As a reminder, "You have done your homework yet?"
Order directly: "Do your work now!"
Super Vision: "Just play and focus on homework."
Try to encourage: Come on, you can do. "Newly arrivedwith, then you can go play "
Frustration: "Do not you just?"
Threats: 'Finish your homework or else ...."
Resignation: "Aiyah, do not want, I give it to you."
So much unnecessary stress and tension. There must be a better way to handle this battle homework.
After much reading and thinking, I am with 6 things that help get the tension:
I chose the pre-school. In this way,mean, I agree indirectly, ideas and opportunities. So if there is to do your homework, do it. No point to go to teachers, the discussion about whether this was a value and blaming them for high blood pressure and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome. If you do not want the headache of homework, find a scholarship to nursery school that you make.
Communicate with the teacher. Learn how to manage your homework is incomplete. These are the monsters that we like?Those who have a close ROTAN in one hand and the criticism of fire spewing from their mouths? Or you want to allow the child to work at their own pace?
Do not focus on the negative. Ignore the twisted, battered looking for writing. Instead of praise for decent looking. More important is the effort they put in and not the result of these efforts. Praise for homework is often a pleasant experience.
Do other activities important to give homework. Aloud for them every dayteach them that the letters and words that can write good stories do. Here are all the "a" words in this story. Sing songs such as "ant from the Apple menu. Use clay to create the alphabet. Be creative. There are tons of ideas from books and the Internet to help. If you have any ideas, please refer to the professor." Do your duty mix of exciting activities and not a chore to separate.
Talk to your child. Find out how you feel about homework. What is the problem?Sometimes all they need is to hear. Do not brush or put out their feelings. Find a solution. This is what I do with my daughter Karina:
Mom: What time do you finish your homework?
Karina: after dinner. I'm tired now.
Mom: Ok. What to do when Mom can not do then Karina?
Karina: I will sit time before deciding to end it.
Mom: Sounds good. Need help help with your homework?
Karina: No, I can not do this alone.
Mom: That's nice. We writeWhat we have just discussed. Everything you want to add?
Karina: Yes I ice when I finished my homework.
Notice there is no screaming. Their feelings and ideas are respected and that will take responsibility for their actions. I especially like the idea of an agreement. If promises are made in writing and the child has to put his signature, is the weight, where the promise. The child feels valued, when they see their words are important enough to be written.
Be Closeby. Assure them that are available if help is needed. Let them know they are not alone to face tough tasks. Do not assume that what seems easy, it can be hard for them.
So my conclusion about the tasks of pre-school ... Why a cow on it? If it is boring, so we do a nice dull. It takes effort to understand how. And then it takes more effort to ensure that the nagging desire to fight to play dictator. But with a plan in hand and someDig into our bag of tricks, it can happen. Yes, homework, preschool children are free of stress. Decide today and go for it.
