School psychologists! Your time has come! Summer is coming to an end, and with it the school holidays. Some of the children are looking forward to the start of the school year and are already going shopping with their mother, purchasing everything they need by the first of September. And someone else is fully enjoying the last days free from school, perhaps splashing in the waves of the warm sea or still in a children's camp. The first days of September at school are not only the joy of meeting and sharing impressions about events in their lives last summer, but also the beginning of the educational process with its tasks, responsibilities and new daily routine. In this regard, the beginning of the school year is a rather difficult adaptation period, both for the student, for teachers, and for parents, since everyone has to readjust. In the fall, parents again begin to turn to a psychologist, since more often they receive signals about the child’s undesirable behavior from teachers. Usually they report problems such as: - the child does not want to study, does not do homework; - does not listen to teachers and parents; - does not go to bed on time and does not get up on time; - skips classes. At the same time, for various reasons, the mother does not always have the opportunity to come to a meeting with a psychologist. But such opportunities have appeared as advice from a psychologist online, when you can instantly get an answer to a worrying question and find the right solution to the current situation. At the same time, you can get advice from a psychologist for free, rather than wasting time and money on going to an expensive specialist. During such a consultation, in principle, you can identify the reason for this or that child’s behavior and competently influence the situation to change for the better in the future. For example, one of the reasons for reluctance to go to school may be the lack of connection between the needs of the child himself and the imposed school curriculum. Unfortunately, the school curriculum is structured in such a way that adults decide what a child in a particular class should know. And if he does not want to know this, then he receives an appropriate assessment. Like, it’s your own fault... By using a search engine and typing in free advice from a psychologist, you can restore this connection. For example, you can often hear a child ask: “Well, why do I need this Russian language?” How do adults respond to this? “Why, why, to read and write!” That is, again, adults are responsible for him, what he should be able to do. Let's see how you can create a dialogue so that the child himself comes to the conclusion about the need to study Russian (let's say that he is in 3rd grade) - Well, why do I need this Russian language? - Well, let's say you don't need this subject. Then tell me what kind of person you want to be? - I want to be strong. - Okay, what does it mean to be strong? - Well, to stand up for yourself so as not to be offended or beaten. - What do you need for this? - To be able to fight back. - What is needed in order to learn to fight back ?- You need to learn to fight.- Where do they teach you to fight?- In judo.- Do you want to learn judo?- Yes!- What do you need for this?- Enroll in a section.- You know that in sports sections, coaches set certain requirements for students conditions? - What? - Well, it could be a good study. - Yes, I will study! Here is one example of how a connection is established between the child’s needs and the learning process. And the psychologist will help teach parents to ask questions that would help your child continue to develop, overcoming all school contradictions and conflicts. Together with Yulia Vasyukova
