Distance learning: essential advice for parents
President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has imposed a state of emergency in the country since March 16, 2020 in order to ensure the safety of the population. First of all, it is important to understand what distance learning is. Distance learning-the implementation of educational activities of the student at a certain distance using information and communication technologies. Distance learning can provide unlimited opportunities to save time and share information. However, this system of education was not immediately adopted by teachers, parents and students. But the future of the country is not only the state or teachers. However, thanks to distance learning, the student independently searches for and improves their knowledge.
Psychologists say that the problem is easily solved if a person begins to prepare for something by asking himself a question. Because: "the questions are the answers". In this regard, I suggest that you start the questions using the "first of all" method. What do you need to know first? The first "in 2021, will the child also study remotely?"do not bother yourself or the teacher with questions. Because no one knows about it right now. No need to waste time or nerves blaming the government, the epidemic, the current situation in the country. The education system has switched to a distance learning format primarily to protect the health of teachers and students. And the first thing you need is your child's well-being. Short version: distance learning-well-being. Both the main teacher and the first responsible person in the child's life are the parents. If so, you should take responsibility for your child's education and upbringing. Psychologists say that even what is done responsibly will have a high result.
What should be done to improve the quality of the child's upbringing and education? To create conditions; to create an enabling environment to manage and control; motivate; to govern themselves. We will focus on each of these steps separately. Step 1. create the conditions: organize a place for the child to work; solve the problems of providing a computer or phone, the Internet; find alternative ways to organize the educational process; install security programs.
Step 2.Create a supportive environment. Create a loving environment where your child can feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Avoid quarrels and arguments with your couple in the presence of the child. Pay compliments to every thing a child can do. Admit that you were successful because of the efforts that the child made, and because of these efforts. Give him responsibilities and opportunities so that your child can contribute to the household chores. Durable for kids with family and friends.
Step 3.Manage and monitor. Ensure compliance with the daily routine, food, rest, and daily routine. Keep your child safe online. Keep track of the time spent in front of the computer. Show interest in the child's affairs, discuss difficulties and achievements. Stay in touch with the tutor. It is necessary to replace strict order, supervision with curiosity.
Step 4.Stimulate. The future of the child, his goals, opportunities and desires (without criticism and evaluation!) discuss, communicate. Emphasize and tell everything that a child can do. Find one good side in any business. Teach them how to contact and ask for help. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. Remember the child until he absorbs it into his consciousness! Provide information about the sources of support and assistance.
Step 5.Manage yourself. Learn how to manage their emozionarsi. When children are rude, you can cause instant outrage, but do not respond to rudeness with rudeness. You are an adult, and it is difficult for children to contain emotions or think logically, especially if someone is disappointed. If you're both too nervous to talk, take a break to calm down. Keep your behavior under control. The tension that you have ever experienced, whether, observe the distance.
Ways that can help get rid of emotional stress:normalize breathing and count to 10. Do physical exercises. Drink water. Turn your attention the other way. Take a walk. How do you like this step-by-step approach? Increases the possibility of developing the child's personal qualities. Increases the awareness of parents (the ability to control themselves and their behavior). Creates a comfortable environment in the family. Establishes a relationship with the child, filled with mutual trust. Builds emotional relationships.
