Description
Book Introduction
From admission preparation to lifestyle, social skills, and study habits
Everything You Need to Know About First Days at School, from a 13-Year Elementary School Teacher
A child's entry into elementary school is an exciting and special event for both the child and the parents.
This is because it is the first time children move on from daycare or kindergarten, where they used to run around freely, to compulsory education.
It's amazing how quickly my child has grown, but I'm also worried about whether my child will adapt well to school, get along well with friends, and do well in school.
In elementary school, children must do things on their own that teachers previously helped them with, and as full-fledged education begins, the burden of academics increases.
That is why parents' careful help is essential for their children's first school life.
However, parents who send their children to elementary school are at a loss as to what, how, and to what extent they should pay attention.
The author, who has personally experienced the feelings of these parents, introduces basic preparations for school admission and methods to help children have a smooth school life in "Preparing for My Child's First School Admission."
This book is packed with essential information that parents must know and provide guidance at home, including how to accomplish plans and organize things on their own, how to ensure that children experience a safe commute to and from school, how to develop a good study mindset, and how to study core subjects.
This book will not only help your child prepare for school but will also serve as a solid guide for his or her school life.

Into the book
Acknowledge your child's choices.
You have to let them experience the consequences of those choices and decide their future choices for themselves.
If your child insists on wearing Crocs to school instead of sneakers, even if it means they're going to die, that's okay.
If you experience a situation where your child, who usually enjoys exercising or running, is unable to participate in outdoor activities for safety reasons because he or she does not wear sneakers during outdoor play time, you will promise to make sure to wear sneakers during physical education class.
--- p.17
During the first grade, many children meet their mothers and walk home together.
The children are still unfamiliar with school, and after school, they look around anxiously, trying to find their mothers in the crowd.
If they don't see their mother, they panic or cry.
So, please tell your child in advance to stop at the meeting place on the way to school and make sure to wait at the meeting place.
If you don't see your mom at the meeting place, it's best to reassure your child that she will meet you there and that you should wait there instead of looking for her.
It is also necessary to have the child memorize the mother's cell phone number.
--- p.43
If possible, no, absolutely! Have a happy hour with your family before school.
A child who gets ready slowly in the morning, a child who just blinks when the meal is served in front of him—it's not just my child who does that.
It's enough to say sharp words that start with "Why are you" after school, so spend an hour before going to school feeling comfortable and warm.
In fact, even the most loving mother can't help but get upset when her child acts up on a busy morning.
But as a teacher, I can tell you that starting school in a bad mood can have a negative impact on your child.
You might think that playing with friends would help them feel better soon, but I've seen quite a few kids who only return to normal condition around lunchtime.
--- p.51
The reason I suggest a spoonful of leisure in the first-year school life, where students must learn at least one more thing, is because I think of the faces of the children I saw as a teacher.
As a homeroom teacher primarily for upper grades, I often saw children struggling with their studies.
Even during break time, they are busy solving the academy homework that has piled up, and they even sneak out the academy homework and solve it during class.
It's sad to see children always looking exhausted at school because their academic schedule continues even after school.
School life should be viewed in the long term.
If you start running with your studies from the first year, the time when you feel like you're going to collapse will come 'quickly'.
--- p.106
As you read, ask your child about words or sentences that are difficult to understand.
Instead of telling them the meaning right away, try having them guess by connecting it to a word or Chinese character they already know.
For example, if there is a proverb that says, "When whales fight, the shrimp's back gets broken," ask how a shrimp caught between two whales would feel, and then what the proverb means.
If there are illustrations or pictures, it would be nice to look at them together and talk about them.
Come experience the joy of connecting with your child like this.
Then, your child will understand the meaning of words in context and use what he or she has learned to converse with friends or write.
--- p.157
If you want to gauge your child's math level, you can have them solve math workbook problems.
You can check whether you understand the concepts well, whether you use the concepts you understand to solve problems, and whether you make any calculation mistakes by solving the math workbook.
So, I recommend that parents purchase an extra copy of the math workbook used in school and have their children work through it at home.
It's a surefire way to get both value for money and effectiveness.

Publisher's Review
From getting to school safely to using the bathroom alone to using chopsticks!
How to Help Your Child Enjoy School
When a child who has been playing around in daycare enters elementary school, he or she will face many unfamiliar situations.
They go to the bathroom without help from adults, eat meals on their own with adult spoons, and study with a different textbook every hour.
The author says that there are more children than you might think who refuse to go to school because they are afraid of going to the bathroom or because they are not able to properly develop their learning confidence at school.
If you don't adapt naturally during this period, it will be difficult to gain stability and confidence in school life.
That's why we need to help our children at home so they can adapt well at school.
Things that are obvious and easy for adults are difficult for eight-year-old children.
Instead of pushing children to do things according to adult standards, we should wait a little longer and praise the child who eventually succeeds.
Through this book, we will learn about the various small but familiar routines of school life and how to help your child adapt comfortably.
A firm grip on your child's school life
How to develop lifestyle habits
When a child reaches first grade, the number of tasks he or she must do on his or her own at home increases.
There are many things that need to be done without parental help, such as washing hands and brushing teeth as soon as they get home, giving parents the school newsletter, organizing school bags and putting them away, and organizing desks and pencil cases. If these habits are not properly developed in first grade, parents will have to take care of them every day even in the later grades of elementary school.
The author says that proper living habits are also connected to the rhythm of a child's life.
A neatly organized desk and pencil case create an environment where a child can focus on studying, and a child who completes a set task at a set time is said to be living his or her life in a planned manner.
Habits are formed through consistent attention and repetition from parents.
This book introduces in detail the method of establishing lifestyle habits, which even elementary school teachers say is the most difficult to teach.
Books can help children develop good lifestyle habits.
Can a first grader study Chinese characters?
My child is a little slow at learning. Is that okay?
How to develop the "study mindset" that's most important in school life
The most significant characteristic of first graders, as pointed out by elementary education experts, is that their learning abilities vary greatly.
While some children do well in most activities under the guidance of their teachers, others struggle to concentrate and have trouble keeping up with the learning process.
Parents of the latter child will have many concerns.
However, the author says there is no need to worry too much just because an eight-year-old child is a little slow to learn or shows no interest in studying.
For first graders, what is more important than their school grades right now is their ‘study mindset.’
It is reckless to ask a child, who will be studying various subjects throughout his or her life, to run at full speed from the beginning.
In this book, the author presents a concrete method of starting with an amount that the child can handle and then gradually increasing the amount of study according to the child's interest and will, rather than hastily increasing the amount.
Let's look at how to create happy study habits for both parents and children through this book.
