Should parents follow their children to school?

In some people's thinking, school-aged children are too young to need the protection of their parents, but not everyone thinks so.

'I'm also a typical mother trying to do her best to protect her children' - Melissa St. Aude, the 40-year-old woman confessed to talking about her two daughters.

When the two children were too young, she had followed her children into the classroom and introduced herself to their teachers - before hiding behind the hallway and wandering outside the classroom with a few other parents who were as worried as her . If you are a parent, you must always feel the danger is lurking somewhere. And the first day your children go to school is always the most difficult thing.

In some people's thinking, school-aged children are too young to need the protection of their parents, but not everyone thinks so. And according to child psychologist, St.'s method. Aude is also not completely bad. At least a good part for the safety of the children and peace of mind for her.

The new school year is starting, many parents still feel insecure even though they have done many things to follow when their children first come to class.

This habit becomes an acceptable normal thing. Because of that, many companies have regulations that allow parents to take time off from work to bring their children to school in the new school year. This rule is very much supported by Jan Harp Domene, president of the Parents and Friends Association. She said 'The first day of school can be very scary - especially with kindergarten and first grade audiences. If you are not well prepared, you will put your child in a psychological disorder '.

However, child psychologists say that parental supervision can be very important to children, making them feel safe when they go to school, but parents should pay close attention. Do not make your child feel care as a suffocation. Mr. David Fassler, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont in Burlington, thinks, 'It is important for children to go to school alone. If you care too much, you'll make them think you don't trust them. '

A solution that can help parents' psychology to be more comfortable is to find out which school your child will attend before the start date - especially the elementary school - this also helps you Get more understanding about your child's needs. If you can create a relationship with a teacher before your first day of school, the teacher will have a better way of educating your child. This way as well as in business transactions, you should create relationships with partners.

Talking about care, we think how much is enough for a child. There should be a small gap between parents and children to create a reasonable balance. If it is too close to a child, it will only make your relationship with your child more stressful and not helpful. Care may have its downside. Your child will feel embarrassed when being teased by school friends. For young children, parents should build a 5-minute limit on the first day of school, should only stay with the child for a certain period of time.

According to Danielle Kassow, the research and evaluation association said: 'It is good that parents follow their children to the classroom, introduce their children to their new friends, hug them and tell them good things. new day ' . Many parents have been wrong to stay with the children for too long. That is not good for anyone. But you should not sneak out and return. That is very harmful to children's psychology. The child will cry and wonder 'Where are parents going?' . It creates a distrust in the young mind.
