Tutoring for Preschool, Kindergarten and Junior Primary Children Will Ensure Success at School
Make Sure Your Child Starts School Strongly
Your child’s education starts on the day he/she is born. Research consistently shows that what is learned, and what is not learned, during the first few years of a child’s life has a major impact on his/her on-going success.
Teachers Expect You to Teach Your Child Many Skills BEFORE Starting Kindergarten
By the age of 5 your child will be expected to have mastered skills in areas such as:
- good speech and listening skills
- initial phonics and spelling skills
- initial maths skills
- concentration
- coordination
- physical skills such as dressing, gross motor skills such as running, jumping and catching, fine motor skills such as cutting and drawing
- social skills such as cooperation and following instructions
- emotional resilience and independence
Child Development – The 4 Key Rules
As long ago as the 1920s, Developmental Psychologists (such as Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky) provided us with models that explain how children develop. They highlighted 4 key rules of development:
- development happens in stages
- progress to the next stage depends on mastery of the previous stage
- development also happens in strands (physical, intellectual, social, language, emotional, etc.)
- failure to master one strand at a particular stage will hamper progress in the other strands
Child Development Happens in Stages
Uneven Development Hampers Progress at School
A typical scenario:
If a child can’t concentrate well:
- the child will not be able to relate effectively with peers and teachers,
- so the child won’t be able to play a game being used to teach reading skills,
- so the child will not progress with reading and language skills.
- This will impact on most other areas and may cause serious emotional difficulties.
The Best Time to Fix Educational Problems is NOW
If your child is falling behind it is important that you act promptly to fix the underlying causes of the problem or your child will quickly lose self-confidence and fall even further behind. This can lead to serious emotional and social difficulties which will make the problem worse and cause disruption to your whole family.
