Elementary School. How to Prepare Yourself and Your Young Schoolchild for a New Stage in Your Life

Elementary school can be a challenging experience for both the child and the parents. What to do if the child does not want to go to school or do homework? What should you teach them before the first grade? How to enhance a child's adaptation to school while maintaining a warm relationship? Elena Burevaya, a practicing child psychologist and author of the blog elena_burevaya, answers all these questions in her new book and thoroughly examines the following topics: preparation for school, adaptation to the first grade, relationships between parents and children, child's independence, communication with peers and teachers, the crisis of seven years, and the psychological features of children that hinder a quick "entry" into the learning process (dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD). This book will help you overcome fears, anticipate mistakes, and enter a new stage as correctly and calmly as possible. Inside, you will find many useful tests, exercises, checklists, questionnaires, and art practices.
