You have already chosen a kindergarten for your baby, talked to the head and enrolled the child in a group.
The most important thing left is to do everything possible so that in the garden the baby will take the new environment well and get used to the team!
What is the preparation for kindergarten?
Changing the mode
You need to change the normal mode of the child to the one that will be in kindergarten.
Find out from the head of the daily routine.
Do not rush, you do not need to raise the toddler at 7 am the next day, so that he gets used to it.
It is enough to put the baby to bed 15 minutes earlier than usual every day, and wake up a little earlier in the morning.
Well, if the child is a lark, try to play with him longer in the evening so that he gets up later in the morning.
Get used to feeding your baby every day at the same time, according to the kindergarten routine.
So gradually you will be able to rebuild the toddler mode to the one you need.
Join the team
Introduce the child to the situations that will arise in the garden every day.
Show your child how to react in certain cases, how to communicate properly in a team.
The easiest way to do this is on the playground, especially in summer.
Or you can visit friends with young children more often.
You need to teach the toddler that it is normal to exchange toys, share cookies, play the same game with other children.
Another child should learn to choose from the options offered. Therefore, at home, try to ask the baby what he wants to eat – a banana or an apple; what he wants to play with – a constructor or a typewriter, and listen to his opinion.
And of course, do not forget that the best way to teach a child to cope with different life situations is a personal example!
Learning independence
It is equally important that before attending kindergarten, the kid learns basic self-service skills.
Of course, you need to find out what skills are required in the chosen garden.
Usually, for admission to kindergarten, it is enough for the child to be able to eat himself (not necessarily very carefully),
drink from a cup, dress and undress yourself (at least be able to take off/put on a T-shirt, pants, underwear), and also go to the potty.
But if a toddler goes to the garden before the age of 3, then he is not required to be able to go to the potty and dress up.
These skills are so quickly mastered by the child, being in a children's team.
Tempering up
In conclusion, let us recall that in kindergarten the immunity of the baby will be subjected to a daily attack of various viruses.
There will almost always be several children with a runny nose or cough in the group.
The best way to protect your child from viruses is hardening.
Of course, you need to start tempering a toddler from early childhood, and not a couple of months before admission to kindergarten.
It is not necessary to pour cold water or swim in an ice hole (and such hardening is not desirable, for kids).
From an early age, bathe your child daily in cool water,
do not overheat him, allow him to run around the apartment barefoot more often – this will be the best hardening for the baby!
The better you prepare the baby, the faster he will get used to the new team.
Take this seriously, and then the child will be happy to go to kindergarten every morning! https://drbet.org.uk/
