For a first grader it plays a special role. After all, the workload increases significantly, and new responsibilities require greater composure. The regime disciplines, helps to get used to new living conditions.

Doctors insist on strict adherence, emphasizing that this can protect the student from overexcitability and irritability. Only with its help will you maintain your child’s normal working capacity not just during the day, but throughout the entire school year. The daily routine that we offer is also suitable for younger schoolchildren of other grades - our schedule is designed taking into account the time required to complete homework.

According to scientific research, it is possible to distinguish two peaks of working capacity during the day. The first is 8-11 a.m., when the child is at school. After this time, the quality indicators of performance in the body decrease. The second peak is 16-18 pm. This is followed by an intense decline.

Vitaly Stepnov, pediatrician: “We cannot ignore the peaks of a child’s working capacity. Parents often wonder why, after all the clubs and sections, the child takes so long to do his homework, although just recently he was cheerful. Yes, because he gets tired in the evening! The body’s peak performance has already passed, and now it’s time for it to rest, despite the fact that the child can play happily or run around the apartment.”

Basic rules of the daily routine for a first grader

A first grader should sleep at least 10 hours, plus - daytime sleep, to which the body is accustomed. Therefore, try to ensure that he goes to bed no later than 9 pm and gets up at 7 am.

Immediately after school, take a walk with your child for at least 40 minutes. Only then go to lunch - let him work up an appetite. In addition, primary schoolchildren must walk for 3 hours a day.

Lunch should be at 13.30-14.00. After this, give your fidget a good rest. There is no need to immediately sit him down for lessons - now he has a decline in performance, so anyway nothing good will come of this idea.

Even if the child no longer sleeps during the day, he may come home and fall asleep immediately. This means that the body is exhausted. Give your child a chance to rest.

Only when the child has eaten and rested can he sit down for his lessons. Homework has been canceled in first grade, but when your child moves on to the next grade in junior school, remember that 30-60 minutes is the maximum allotted for this activity. The optimal time is 16.00-17.00.

Valentina Filenko, child psychologist: “When it’s time for homework, don’t force your child to quickly throw away his toys and sit down for homework. Wait until he puts down one toy and picks up the second. If you interrupt the game process, the need to do homework will take on a negative connotation.”

After preparing homework, the child can go to a section or circle. The road there can be combined with a walk. Don't forget that you need to be in the fresh air for at least three hours a day.

No homework in the evening! Don't have time for the club? It is better to postpone one lesson than to move classes to the evening.

Overexcitement that has accumulated during the day should be relieved with a walk. Do not think that evening dancing and unprecedented activity indicate that the child is not tired. To relieve stress, take your child for a walk before bed. If we go to bed at 21.00, then we should start walking no later than 19.30, immediately after dinner.

You can watch TV no longer than 45 minutes a day, but it’s better to do without it altogether. You cannot watch it lying down, only sitting and at a distance of 2-2.5 m from the screen. And after an evening walk, it is better not to sit in front of the screen, but to take a warm shower, drink a glass of warm milk and go to bed.

Going to bed should be calm, without talking about the day's difficulties and without reminders of annoying mistakes or failures of the past day.

• 20.00-20.30 Preparation for sleep
• 20.30-7.00 dream

First-grader's diet

1. A first-grader should have five meals a day: breakfast at home, second breakfast at school, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner.
2. A hot breakfast for a child is required. Hot porridge is the best, but we know that kids are much more happy to eat cereal. Make sure the cereal is whole grain and the milk is warm. You can pamper your child with cheesecakes, pancakes, omelettes - a variety of food is also very important.
3. Breakfast should be calm and measured. No “Hurry up, we're late!” It’s better to wake up your child half an hour earlier than to rush him later. There is nothing worse for health (both physical and psychological) than the stress that is created by time constraints.
4. For lunch, your child should be offered light soup.(no need to cook strong meat broth - it is not useful for a growing body). The second course should not be spicy, fried, or fatty. Do not serve mayonnaise or ketchup (unless natural, without additives). Add plenty of vegetables to your lunch, such as a large salad.
5. For an afternoon snack, fresh fruit, pancakes or pancakes are perfect. Additionally, please your baby with fresh cocoa.
6. Dinner should be light but filling. The child should not eat enough throughout the day. If he goes to bed at 21.00, then we sit down for dinner at 18.00-19.00, no later.
7. Food should be varied. We mean not just the composition of the products, but also. After all, children are more willing to eat if the plate is decorated with funny faces, or if food of several colors lies beautifully on it.

Clubs and sections in the daily routine of a first-grader

Physiologists do not recommend starting school while learning the basics of dance steps or the first strikes of kung fu. It is better to do this a year before school or already from the second grade. In the first class, the loads should be minimal.

If you see that your child is having a hard time coping with his studies, combining it with the club he started a year ago, it is better to postpone classes for a year. But be sure to listen to the opinion of your student: if he really likes additional classes, leave one section and “pause” the second.

Remember that at this time the child really needs our support. There is no need to constantly tell him what to do, focus on school difficulties, demand excellent results and scold him for sloppy notebooks.

You must be one team: let the child feel that he has protection, that his parents are on his side. And comply. Good luck to you and your little schoolboy!

Adaptation to school is a complex process, and most importantly, a long one. For first-graders it lasts 6-8 weeks. Maintaining a daily routine is the golden rule for a family that has a schoolchild.

A first grade student should get at least 10 hours of sleep, so do your best to ensure that he goes to bed at 9 pm and gets up at 7 am. If you pick up your child from school immediately after school, it is better to first take a walk before lunch for about 40 minutes. Primary schoolchildren should walk 3 hours a day. We have lunch at 13.30-14.00. After lunch - mandatory rest. Children come home from school at a decline in their performance, so in no case should they be immediately seated for lessons. Even a child who has long stopped sleeping during the day, coming home from school, can fall and fall asleep. Of course, we need to give him this opportunity to rest.

After lunch and rest we sit down for homework. In first grade, they should not take more than half an hour. The optimal time for preparing them is between 15 and 17 hours. Then the child can go to additional classes - to a circle, section, studio. The road to class can be combined with a walk. Under no circumstances should you do or finish homework in the evening. It often happens that during the day a child comes home from school lethargic and tired, and in the evening he seems to have a second wind. He is cheerful and cheerful, ready to do anything to avoid going to bed. Don't think that he's not tired and doesn't want to sleep - in fact, he's just overexcited.

To relieve the stress that has accumulated during the day, it is useful to take a walk before bed. If we assume that we need to go to bed at 21.00, then the best time for a walk will be 19.30, right after dinner. At home we take a warm shower, drink a glass of milk with a spoon of honey (if there are no allergies) - and go to bed. Going to bed should be very calm, without talking about the problems and difficulties of the past day, especially without reminders of failures and annoying mistakes.

One of the most important components of the daily routine is diet. A primary school student should have five meals a day: breakfast at home, second breakfast at school, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner. A hot breakfast at home is a must. Ideally, this is hot porridge, but you can also offer dry cereal doused with warm milk. Of course, there are many options - it could be an omelet, cottage cheese, cheesecakes or pancakes. Under no circumstances should you have breakfast in a hurry, under constant shouts of “Faster!”, “You’ll be late!” It is better to wake up your child half an hour earlier than to rush him. There is nothing worse for a child's physical and mental health than the stress that is created by time constraints.

If the child is not in after-school care, he usually has lunch at home. For starters, it is best to offer him a light soup (strong meat broths are not good for children). When preparing the second meal, you should remember that spicy, fried, spices, mayonnaise, and ketchup are not recommended not only for children, but also for younger schoolchildren. Fruits and vegetables are required in the daily menu. It's good to have a vegetable salad for lunch. Afternoon snack is the time to eat buns, pancakes, pancakes. Fresh fruit is also good for an afternoon snack. Dinner should be hearty, but light. If you expect your child to go to bed at 21:00, then you should have dinner no later than 19:00, 2 hours before bedtime. Nutrition should be varied, not only in the composition of the products, but also in the form in which these products are given to the child. It is important to him how the food lies on the plate and how it is decorated. In catering, a positive emotional attitude is no less important than in all other areas of a first-grader’s life.

Physiologists do not recommend combining the start of schooling with the start of studies at a music school, art studio, or additional foreign language classes. If you want to develop your child comprehensively, it is better to start a year before school or from the second grade. In first class, additional loads should be minimal.

It also happens: before school, a child takes part in both music and sports, but in the first grade something has to be sacrificed, because there is not enough time for everything. You can postpone some of the activities for a year, but be sure to listen to the child’s choice: those additional activities that remain must definitely please him and nourish him emotionally. From the point of view of physiologists, if you have to choose between English and swimming, then the answer is clear: swimming. But, for example, with dancing, not everything is so simple: dancing is such a finely coordinated and complex action that for most children it turns out to be hard work. But even here you should rely on the child’s choice.

Unfortunately, parents often try to schedule their child’s time minute by minute. And it turns out that children do not have the opportunity to be alone with themselves, and they really miss this. A student comes home from school - “Sit down for lunch.” Had lunch - “Sit down for your homework.” You need to let him be alone, leave him alone in the room. Maybe he will take his favorite toy - this helps many children relieve tension and relax. At this age, the child still has a great need to play. If many teachers do not allow you to bring toys to school, then at home you can allow your child to do homework with her and put her to bed with her. It is very difficult for the child at this time, and anything that helps him go through the adaptation period more easily will be beneficial.

But the most important thing is that children really need our support during this period. You should not focus too much attention on school difficulties, demand excellent results, scold for grades or sloppy notebooks. The health of the child and a good relationship with him are more important. He must be sure that he has protection at home, that his parents are on his side.

The first period of adaptation to school - the “physiological storm” - lasts 2-3 weeks. All systems of the body work with great tension at this time. It is very important to understand that the child is faced with extreme stress. Therefore, in the first 2-3 weeks he may sleep poorly, be irritable, and start crying, seemingly for no reason. Parents have no choice but to treat all this as calmly as possible, with understanding, and to be patient.

Primary general education

Correct daily routine for a first grader

A school teacher and a pediatric neurologist talk about excessive exercise, proper nutrition and the required amount of sleep.

A school teacher and a pediatric neurologist talk about excessive exercise, proper nutrition and the required amount of sleep.

“How to organize my first grader’s day?” - this question is regularly asked by parents, teachers, doctors and other experts. Indeed, a properly structured daily routine is extremely important for a child to smoothly and comfortably enter the educational process and maintain his health. Often parents themselves formulate rules that are not always enforceable and are not always really needed by a first-grader.

To correct possible mistakes of parents, we decided to turn to two experts - a primary school teacher and an experienced pediatrician. Let their advice and observations help us form an objective picture of what the daily routine of a modern first-grader should be.

Alexey Igorevich Krapivkin, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Director of the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center for Child Psychoneurology

Daily routine: keep the kindergarten norm

When a child goes to school, his life changes a lot. But even in first grade, it is quite possible to maintain the same daily routine that you had in kindergarten: with regular meals, afternoon rest and fairly active walks, albeit not so long.

Nutrition: variety is key

The body of a first-grader is in dire need of regular nutrition in order to replenish the lack of glucose in a timely manner. By the age of seven, a child should already have developed eating habits: a mandatory full breakfast, a hot lunch, proper snacks - second breakfast, afternoon snack.

My main advice to parents: feed your children a variety of foods. Any excess product can affect the child's condition, digestion, sleep and physical activity. Of course, it is better to avoid an abundance of sweet, fatty or spicy foods in a child’s diet - for the same reason.

At the same time, if the child does not have serious illnesses, then there should be no deliberate restrictions on food. Coming to a new children's group, the child reconsiders his nutritional norm: if everyone eats cookies, why should he completely refuse them? If everyone is snacking after third period, why can't he take a sandwich or an apple with him?

And one more piece of advice: in order not to risk your child’s well-being at night, try to feed him dinner about two hours before bedtime, no later. If you didn’t manage to have dinner on time, offer food that is as light and safe for the gastrointestinal tract as possible.

Sleep: the main thing is not to fight for performance

Not only a first-grader, but any person should sleep as much as his body requires. But sometimes parents put the child to bed at almost eight in the evening so that he sleeps as long as possible; this, in my opinion, is an unnecessary measure.

According to statistics, an adult needs at least 8 hours of sleep per day. A first grader needs a little more, but not 12 hours like an infant. The most important thing is that when putting your child to bed early, do not fight for his performance, but rather look at his condition. Is it easy for him to wake up in the morning? Do you have enough strength until the evening?

It is best to put your child to bed between 9 and 10 pm, preferably no later than 10 pm. At the same time, the child should have free time 1.5–2 hours before bedtime to carry out daily rituals: water procedures, reading at night, a glass of milk - and as little stress as possible, then the child will smoothly fall asleep and be able to fully rest.

As for daytime sleep, it seems to me that there is no reason to insist that the child sleep during the day. If he wants to go to bed after lunch, great; if not, don’t insist. The main thing is that daytime sleep should divide the day into two equal periods. Don't go to bed later than 4 pm: then your night's sleep may suffer.

Loads: achieve a state of reasonable fatigue

Nowadays there is a lot of talk about the fact that first-graders can barely withstand the exorbitant workload that the school and parents place on them with their clubs and sections. I like the idea that the level of exercise should be determined by tolerance. If your child has enough resources to practice the piano for two hours after school and enjoy going to the sports section in the evening, then why not? For parents, the main indicator of the level of stress should be the child’s condition in the evenings. If he falls off his feet, is capricious, cannot eat, he is so tired - you have clearly gone too far. If he is active and could do something enthusiastically for a couple more hours, it means that the daily load was not enough. But if his fatigue is not excessive, is natural, and does not cause him serious discomfort, then the volume of the load is sufficient.

Physical activity

It is important to remember here that for a seven-year-old child simply sitting at a desk for several hours in a row is a colossal burden. To remove it, it is more useful not to put the child to bed, but to let him run around properly, to release the tension.

The child’s need for movement is natural and physiological. Be sure to give him the opportunity to jump, climb, and run properly after school, and if necessary, also in the evening.

Be sure to remind your child to do small warm-ups after sitting for a long time at lessons: basic gymnastics will be enough. And send your child to a sports section: two or three times a week.

Elena Aleksandrovna Chulikhina, primary school teacher at the MBOU "Malodubenskaya Secondary School"

Daily routine: on weekends as on weekdays

There’s nothing to talk about here; every first-grader needs a full-fledged daily routine. It’s best if he doesn’t get lost on weekends, otherwise it will be difficult to adjust to the start of the work week.

Food: hot is better than cookies

Now almost all parents are very afraid that their children will go to school hungry. They are given sweets, cookies, buns, waffles and other “dry snacks” with them - despite the fact that the school has a canteen, where you can always eat a hot breakfast and have a good lunch. Naturally, having eaten enough sweets, the children in the cafeteria refuse to eat a full hot meal. Therefore, I want to give parents advice: teach them better to go to the canteen, eat porridge or omelet in the morning, and have good hot soup for lunch in the afternoon, not candy. I am not against you giving your children treats, but in moderation, and not in such a way that it interrupts their appetite.

Sleep: don’t nod off in class!

I’ll tell you honestly, it’s very unpleasant when children in your class nod off during the first lesson. Therefore, please put your children to bed on time, at best around nine in the evening. There is no need to hope that you will get fifteen minutes of sleep in the morning: this is where morning delays begin, and this also does not really help children concentrate.

Daytime naps are a useful thing, especially since children themselves, as a rule, require an afternoon rest: they come home from school and immediately go to bed. This means that they need it, which means that parents need to take this need into account when creating a daily routine.

Loads

Now, due to the introduction of the Federal State Educational Standard, first-graders are entitled to up to 10 hours of extracurricular activities per week. They usually start in the afternoon and last up to two academic hours a day - this is in addition to the normal school load. In addition, almost every child attends various clubs, some of them are very serious and are located on the other side of the city. It turns out that first-graders are very busy on weekdays, even if they don’t have homework in first grade.

Here I have no right to give parents any advice: they decide for themselves how, what and how much to load their children with, what achievements to require, etc. But I would insist that at least on weekends the children should be free to study doing your own thing, playing, going for a walk, spending an evening with your family. This is the best support we can give them.

Physical activity

We make sure that the children do warm-ups between lessons, can run around, and unload properly. It is important that parents care about the same. Be sure to let your children go for walks and exercise a lot. It's best when they walk home from school rather than driving.

How to choose a backpack, how to get your child into the groove of studying, the health of a first-grader, is a nap necessary during the day, what to do with snacks, when is the best time to do homework, is a walk important and other tips for mothers of schoolchildren

According to doctors:

35% of first-graders have chronic diseases, and among graduates this figure doubles.

The most common diseases that affect at least 50% of schoolchildren are gastrointestinal and vision pathologies.

more than 40% of children have diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and 80% of schoolchildren have posture disorders.

Every third child is susceptible to respiratory diseases, another 15% are susceptible to diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Only 5% of schoolchildren are considered completely healthy.

Which backpack should you choose? How to monitor your baby's posture?

If you do not want your child to have problems with the spine, as well as kidneys, etc., do not buy him a briefcase that is carried in one hand. It must be a backpack.

Each age has its own hygienic standards for the weight of a school bag: with a daily educational kit and writing materials. But there is a simple way to calculate a physiologically safe norm: the weight of the backpack with its contents should not exceed 10 percent of the student’s body weight.

Backpack weight:
1-2 class - 1.5 kg
3-4 grade - 2.5 kg
5-6 grade - 3 kg
7-8 grade - 3.5 kg
9-12 grades - up to 4 kg

Thus, an empty backpack should weigh 500-800 grams.

How to choose a backpack?

It is advisable to buy a backpack that has reflective badges on the front, sides and straps - additional protection on the roads.

The backpack must have a hard back. Only its presence can ensure the baby’s correct posture. At the same time, do not forget that the width of the backpack should not exceed the width of the child’s shoulders, and the height should be no more than 30 cm.

backpacks should be comfortable: the bag should not press, the straps should not cut into or dig into the shoulders. The straps are soft, evenly distributing the load. The straps must be adjustable so that the backpack fits equally comfortably over a light dress and a down jacket.

a good backpack should have several compartments and pockets - then the child will be able to carefully lay out his wealth in a certain order.

All seams - internal and external - on backpacks and pencil cases must be carefully processed, otherwise cuts on the hands cannot be avoided.

Monitor your child's posture

The table and chair must be appropriate for his height and age.
You need proper soft lighting, which is located on the left side.

It is worth introducing your child to physical education, for example, enrolling him in a sports section and teaching him to go jogging together in the morning - all this will benefit him and help prevent many diseases.

Necessarily every half hour of class you need to do 5-minute gymnastics for the arms, legs and spine, accompanying it with a rhyme: “We read, we wrote, our fingers (arms, legs, eyes) are tired.” The child should clap his hands, clench and unclench his fingers, stomp his feet, bend and straighten, move his arms to the sides, raise them up.

Nutrition. Diet for a first-grader

Feeding a schoolchild early in the morning is not an easy task. Due to nervousness, and even after dawn or light has risen, the children do not want to eat. But this must be done, because there is a long day of work ahead! Use your creativity...

First, decide what your fidget likes to eat most. In addition to sweets and semi-finished products, of course...
If these are dairy products, you can offer: porridge, muesli, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese mass, cheesecakes, cottage cheese casserole, mousse or pudding, cheese sandwich. If these are meat products: eggs, fish, omelettes, meatballs, meat rolls and casseroles, puddings, etc.

Breakfast can be washed down with tea, cocoa with milk or juice.
The main rule is no dry food. Breakfast must be hot!

Doctors advise include complex forms of carbohydrates in breakfast. This means that in addition to sweet tea, jam and confectionery, schoolchildren’s morning breakfast must include baked goods, porridge (oatmeal has proven itself best), pasta, fresh vegetables; apples, rich in fiber and pectin, are the preferred fruit. It is better to distribute the remaining carbohydrates into intermediate meals during the school day: fruit drinks, tea, buns, cookies, and sweets will ensure a constant supply of fresh portions of glucose into the blood and will stimulate the mental activity of schoolchildren.

At school:

You can bring yogurt, a bagel, a bun, an apple, a pear, a cucumber or a carrot with you to school.

Usually in schools children are given milk or juice. But if your child does not drink what is offered at school, give him compote, juice, tea with him. The flask or bottle into which you pour them must be thoroughly washed.

If a child stays for an extended period, he must eat a hot lunch at school.

Necessarily It is necessary to remind the child about such basic hygiene rules as hand washing. If you are not sure that your baby will wash his hands before lunch, give him wet sanitary napkins with an antiseptic.

• crackers,

• other surrogates.

It is important for the mother to find out in advance what and at what hours the child will eat at school. Try at home a week before September 1 to adapt to this regime, perhaps including foods that are still unfamiliar to him in the diet. Thus, you will smooth out the sudden change in environment, daily routine and diet.

Dynamics of first-grader performance during the school day.Daily regime

Writing and reading are the most difficult classes in first grade.
The greatest stress is caused by directly writing letters, words, sentences, and copying text.
The hardest thing in mathematics is solving problems.

Special studies have established:

The duration of continuous reading should not:

at 6 years of age exceed 8 minutes,

at 7-8 years old - 10 minutes.

optimal duration of continuous writing

2 minutes 40 seconds at the beginning of the lesson,

1 minute 45 seconds at the end (same when preparing homework).

Study effectiveness is distributed as follows:

1. First lesson - getting used to it
2. Second lesson - peak performance
3. The third lesson is the beginning of a decline in performance.
4. Lesson four - minimum

Walking norm for primary schoolchildren- at least 3-3.5 hours.

• For elementary school children, the best rest is an hour and a half nap in a well-ventilated room.
• The best time to prepare lessons: 15-16 hours.
• Every 25-30 minutes - a break, physical education minutes with music (they restore performance, delay fatigue).
• You need to start preparing lessons with less complex ones (remember to practice!), then move on to the most difficult ones.
• Sports should begin no earlier than 40 minutes after eating.
  Dinner 2 hours before bedtime, if you don’t want stories about bad dreams and complaints about insomnia.
• It is useful to walk for 20 - 30 minutes before going to bed.
• A first-grader should sleep at least 9 hours; they are also advised to take a nap during the day.

First-grader's daily routine

When should you go to bed?

A first grader needs to sleep 11.5 - 12 hours a day, including 1.5 hours of daytime sleep. Unfortunately, studies show that among first-graders only 24% meet night sleep standards. The rest do not get enough sleep, regularly missing 0.5-1.5 hours of sleep. This results in fatigue, irritability, and poor learning of school material.You should go to bed no later than 21.30. The ideal time is 20.30.

Students in grades 3-7 should sleep at least 9-10 hours a day, preferably going to bed at 10 p.m.
For high school students, 8-9 hours of sleep is enough, but they should be in bed no later than 11 p.m.

When to do homework?

The optimal time for preparing homework is from 15 to 16 hours for younger schoolchildren (at this time of day there is another surge in productivity) and from 15 to 18 for the rest (by the way, this is the time for self-study at the Lomonosov school).

Adults forget that written assignments are difficult for children aged six to eight years old. They have not yet developed the small muscles of the hand, and their coordination is imperfect. During work, their blood pressure rises and their heart rate increases. Such a child should initially study for no more than 3 minutes, and later, when the person “gets involved” in his studies, for 8-10.

How long to rest?

Children 7-10 years old need to breathe fresh air 3-3.5 hours a day. This improves performance.
Middle and high school students must spend at least 2 hours outside every day.
