I go to kindergarten

In order for the child to successfully go to kindergarten, feel cozy, comfortable and safe there, not only medical workers and teachers, educators, but you yourself must make some efforts. First of all, it is necessary to properly prepare the child for new microsocial conditions.

If you plan to send your baby to kindergarten, you must ensure that he is vaccinated against all preventable infections on time. According to the national calendar of preventive vaccinations, by the age of 1, a child must be vaccinated against tuberculosis, hepatitis B, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, measles, rubella, mumps. Ask your local doctor about available additional choice vaccines.

Before entering the kindergarten, the child must be examined by specialist doctors so that there is time to prescribe additional studies or treatment, to give recommendations for rehabilitation in the conditions of the preschool educational institution.

But now your baby has passed all the preparatory stages and, at first glance, is ready to enter kindergarten.
If you think about it, the stress experienced by a child during the period of getting used to kindergarten is comparable to that experienced by an adult, torn from his usual environment and found himself on an unfamiliar island, where everything around is alien. This is a feeling of hopelessness.

New people, environment, food, rules of the game - everything is not the same as before! And, most importantly, there are no relatives, relatives nearby, no mother. In this environment, it is very important that the baby is able to rebuild, adapt to new conditions and go through this period with the least damage to himself.

We are talking about the course of the adaptation period. Let's try to understand the concept of "stress". We are accustomed to calling stress any excessive unpleasant event associated mainly with negative experiences. In fact, according to the definition of physiologists, "stress is a non-specific response of the body to any presentation of demands to it." The strength of stress depends on how much you need to rebuild.

The first days of a child's stay in kindergarten can cause negative emotions. But so that they do not outgrow distress (a state of hopelessness when the body cannot rebuild), the baby needs help. First of all, long before the first trips to the kindergarten, the baby must be thoroughly explained why he goes to kindergarten. Not at all because it is very cool and insanely cool. Maybe in reality everything will turn out to be completely different - do not doom your little man to the hardest trials associated with disappointment. In life, this happens all too often. Tell the truth: children go to kindergarten when their mothers have to go to work. While the children are very young, mothers can stay at home, when the children grow up, mothers go to work, and the kids go to kindergarten. Show the child the building of the garden in advance, let the baby know that soon he will go to it. See how children play on a walk - accustom your baby to the idea that he will also walk and play here.
Patiently answer the child's various questions about garden life: "Where do children sleep in the garden?", "Do they have toys? Who feeds them lunch? Who puts them to bed?" and others. The more such information a baby has, at least approximate, the easier it will be for him to get used to the garden.
And one more small but very important point: even if you are really not happy with the idea that soon the baby will have to go to the garden, try not to discuss this issue with your relatives or friends in front of him. Repeatedly listening to your emotional negative exclamations, the child will come to the conclusion that the garden is bad, and he will to some extent consider you a traitor to him, since you leave him in this "bad" kindergarten.

The main problem of adaptation is that there is no mother in the garden. In some cases, if the adaptation is difficult, in the first days (weeks) the presence of the mother in the group or for a walk is allowed. However, this often only aggravates the situation: by accustoming the baby to the fact that mom is always there, you will make the process of “weaning from mom” even more difficult. Therefore, it is better to gradually increase the time the child spends in the garden, starting from 1-2 hours. It is desirable that the mother in the first days, if possible, be somewhere nearby, so that the teacher can quickly find her in case of a negative reaction of the child (hysteria). After all, the first reaction is unpredictable, and it happens that for the first few days the baby perceives going to the garden with interest, and only then he realizes that this is not a game, and now it will be like this every day. The child closes or cries incessantly, not letting anyone near him - neither children nor caregivers. The next morning it is more difficult to persuade him to go to the garden. The child wants his mother to be with him all the time. Therefore, it is very good to have an album with photos of parents in the group - suggest doing this to the teacher at the parent meeting. In this case, the baby will be able to see his loved ones at any time and will not be homesick.

In addition to psychological problems, there are a number of more prosaic problems. It is important that the child be physically ready for kindergarten, have certain skills (eat independently, sit on the potty, etc.). It is necessary to start hardening procedures that strengthen the immune system in advance (the local doctor will advise). It is necessary to familiarize yourself with the regime of the kindergarten, the peculiarities of nutrition and adhere to such requirements at home.

Food in the garden is, of course, different from home. It's not that she's worse - she's just different. New dishes, an unusual combination of familiar foods - this is also partly stressful. The kid should learn to eat on his own, because even the most beautiful teacher or nanny will not have the strength and time to feed 15-20 people from a spoon. It often happens that a child who is used to eating slowly at home ("for mom", "for dad", etc.), suddenly finds himself in a situation where no one asks him for anything, food just appears on the table, and through removed for some time. The child does not understand why he was not allowed to finish eating and cries. Therefore, at home, you need to explain to him in advance how the meal takes place in kindergarten, why you can’t endlessly sit at the table and train at home to eat on your own, beautifully and within reasonable time limits.

During the adaptation period, the child should not experience strong emotional experiences. At this time, it is recommended not to carry out traumatic procedures (vaccinations, cutting hair, nails, dental treatment, etc. ) and not to introduce new dishes in the home diet. We need to take care of this the day before.

During the first days of visiting the kindergarten, all the organs and systems of a baby suffer, they are rebuilt and adapted to new requirements, to new conditions of existence. This can manifest itself as frequent diseases or in the form of neurotic reactions. By the way, experts say that the frequent illnesses of a baby who started attending a kindergarten are not at all due to the fact that the garden is full of microbes (there are no more and no less of them than everywhere else), but precisely because the child's body reacts to a change of scenery (stress), which, as a result, reduces immunity. This is called psychosomatics. A child in the period of adaptation can become capricious, aggressive, or vice versa closed, lose hygiene skills. It is important not to scold, not to punish the child, to create a calm, favorable environment in the family.

The duration of adaptation is mild - up to 32 days, moderate - up to 2 months, severe - 6-12 months.

The increased incidence of viral infections, possibly with a complicated course, the development of neurotic reactions in the form of tics, enuresis require mandatory consultation of specialists.

It is recommended that you follow the appointments of a pediatrician, neurologist, other doctors for the period of adaptation (adaptogens of plant origin, sedatives, vitamins, relaxing massage). It is recommended to strengthen the drinking regimen at home, lengthen daytime sleep on weekends.

Teachers, psychologist, medical a kindergarten employee monitors the course of adaptation from the first days of being in kindergarten. It is necessary to ask the teacher how the baby behaves, how he feels after the mother leaves. At the first signs of an incipient illness, it is recommended to keep the child at home, to prevent the disease from developing, because. it can manifest itself against the background of experiences more strongly than usual.
