Another busy semester of classes and exams has come to an end. During the report card period, the mother, father and child were in an excited wait.
Parents and children worked together during this period, which was spent in a sweet rush.
The report card received at the end of a period meant being a parent report card as much as the child. It deserves. It is much easier to accept success than to accept failure. It is necessary to give our children feedback for their efforts and make them feel important, as well as rewarding them for having a successful period. Rewards should not necessarily be things bought with money. A quality relationship with the child and quality time spent with the child is also a reward.
Quality time is not "taking the child to a restaurant to eat". A child and a parent with something in their mouth will just look at each other. Quality time is the time when there is interaction, mutual exchange of emotions, and everyone can be happy in the end.
A child's basic need is to feel valued by you under all circumstances. Make your child feel that you accept him unconditionally, no matter what his report card is like.
Make sure that your only communication agenda is not grades, exams and lessons. Whenever you get together, the only thing you do is not study, or avoid asking your child questions only about the lessons.
Evaluate the reasons for the low grade, discuss and decide with your child what to do.
– Review your child's study routine and motivation for the next term.
– Prefer emotional rewards, not material rewards. Hugging him, telling him how much you love him, or planning a day together will be the best gift.
– Let him rest during the holiday period, do not be in a hurry and pressure him to make up for his grades, first of all, remember that grades can always be compensated.
For a preschool child, holidays should not only be TV and computers. We should pay attention to having routines during the holiday period. Having unchanging routines and maintaining some habits are important for the development of children. If they are completely disrupted, they may cause both some behavioral problems and school problems. You may encounter adaptation difficulties on your return. For example, basic needs such as eating habits and sleeping hours should continue as a routine. It is recommended that you support the development area that needs support by giving small responsibilities appropriate to its age. Small responsibilities will also support your child's sense of duty. For example, if a parent is not overly meticulous and protective of a child who needs support in fine motor development and gives him/her plenty of opportunities to hold spoons at home, this will support his/her muscle development and self-care skills.
If you think your child will be able to meet his/her own needs and be comfortable, of course. If you know the place he is going to or his family and friends, there is no harm in staying there. For preschool children (2+), it is natural for them to want to stay with the closest people, such as their caregivers, for a long time, but their anxiety levels may increase, so doing small activities for the time you are apart will reduce their anxiety. By putting as many objects as the number of days you will be apart (it could be small notes or foods you like) into a box that you will prepare and decorate together, you can give it one each day in the morning and tell it that you will be there when it is over.
Have a nice holiday
