At the start of Primary 1, you should gradually take on more responsibility.

The beginning of Primary 1 is a significant transition for children, from a parent to a lot of help, to a time when children have to start taking care of themselves and taking more responsibility.

But "self-responsible" does not mean that parents have to let their children do everything immediately.

Children still need teaching, warning and help.

The important thing is to gradually reduce your help and increase what you do by yourself.

🎒 It's easy for a first-grader to take responsibility.

1. Take care of your own supplies

Such as bags, shoes, water bottles, rice boxes, stationery and school supplies.

It is not necessary for the child to be completely manageable in the first place, but rather to start practicing that.

"Our stuff. We have to take care."

2. Prepare to go to school

Let your children start looking at the school schedule or items and arrange the bags yourself.

Parents can be re-examined, but not necessarily provided all daily.

3. Do the morning routine

Such as waking up, going to the bathroom, dressing up, brushing your teeth, eating food, wearing shoes, and preparing your bag.

Parents may still have to warn, but the goal is for their children to gradually remember their own routine sequences.

4. Responsible for small tasks in the house.

For example, store toys, store plates after eating, put clothes in a basket, or arrange your own things.

Because responsibility does not stem from ordering that

"Responsible."

But through repeated actions in everyday life,

5. Responsible for your own work

When you have homework or an assignment, you should start learning that

"This job is my job."

Parents can explain, help organize, but should not replace every step.

❤️ And how much should parents help?

Try to change from

"I'll make it because I won't be in time."

Is

"I'm warning you, but I'll do it myself."

Or

"What else do I have to do now? Think about it."

Because sometimes children are not "irresponsible."

But the kids still don't know where to start or what to do.

Here are the opportunities for EF training and self-management skills.

🚩 What parents should observe

If the child is in grade 1 and must give the adult

* Dress up every day

* Prepare all the bags

* Keep it forever

* Warn all steps

* Do homework or prepare instead

* Keep following the same story repeatedly, and you can't do it yourself.

It may not be a rush to conclude that "lazy children" or "irresponsible."

But look at what difficulties children have, such as

Procedural sequencing, working memory, concentration, self-control, time management, or self-help skills.

🌱 The goal is not for you to "do everything."

But you have to do more and more of what you can.

From

Parents Make → Parents Help → Parents Remind → Children Do It Yourself

This is a responsibility training process that works for children.

Because the first grade is not just literacy.

But children are learning that

"I can take care of myself."

"I have my own duty."

"If I can't, I can get help."

"And I can gradually learn to do better."

This is the basis of growing up to be a self-supporting and self-responsible child in the long run.
