The scorching sun and the high temperature of nearly 40℃ could not resist the enthusiasm of parents. There was a long queue at the entrance of the early education class, and most of them were enrolling their children in the kindergarten bridging class. In order to prepare their children to adapt to the first grade of primary school in advance, these parents spend a lot of money to enroll their children in classes.
Do children need to go to primary school? This question may occasionally flash through their minds, but with the strong will to hope that their children will succeed and their daughters will succeed, they will forget about it. After all, we must not let our children lose at the starting line. This is an unforgettable lesson.
01 Is it necessary for children to attend kindergarten bridging classes?
Before we discuss the issue of whether it is necessary for children to attend kindergarten connection, we must first clarify that kindergarten connection ≠ attend kindergarten connection classes. As the name suggests, the connection between kindergarten and primary school is to change children's living and learning habits in kindergarten and adapt to primary school learning and life in advance. The kindergarten transition class in the early childhood education class is mainly aimed at this point. Therefore, if parents have the ability and confidence to guide their children at home, there is no need for their children to attend kindergarten bridging classes. But if parents are incompetent, it is best to leave professional matters to professionals.

02 The connection between young and early childhood, what is the connection?
The connection of self-care ability
Kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers are different. Kindergarten teachers include main class teachers, deputy class teachers and child care workers, who are responsible for all aspects of children's life and learning. If the child's self-care ability is not very good, the nursery teacher will help the child when he is hungry or thirsty in the kindergarten. But if the child is in elementary school, there will be no help from the teacher. Because primary school teachers’ main job is to be responsible for children’s learning, they assume that children have good self-care abilities. Therefore, the most important thing in the connection between early childhood and early childhood is to cultivate children's self-care ability. Parents should educate their children in daily life, such as eating, dressing, going to the toilet, drinking water, etc. Regarding children drinking water, many parents may remind kindergarten teachers to ask their children to drink water. But after the child reaches the first grade of elementary school, it is impossible for the teacher to remind the child to drink water. That will make many parents and children not accustomed to it.

The connection of habits
The small connection has an important content, which is the connection of habits. Many parents think that they should wait until their children go to school to develop good habits, but in fact this is not the case. Habits can only be developed first, not after they go to school.
Adjust work and rest habits in advance, such as going to bed early, getting up early, adjusting lunch breaks and canceling extra meals. Therefore, we need to start the elementary school routine in advance so that the children can adapt. Kindergartens usually start classes at eight or nine in the morning, but elementary schools usually start classes at around 7 o'clock. The child's sleep will be adjusted to adapt to the life of primary school. Kindergarten children's three meals are irregular, 5 or 6 meals a day are normal, but primary school students' three meals are generally fixed. This requires children to adjust and adapt to the three meals in primary school. The biggest change has been the lunch break. Kindergartens generally have a lunch break, but elementary schools may not have a lunch break because some children are far away from home and do not have time for a lunch break.

The connection of knowledge learning
Nowadays, children in primary school with zero basic knowledge are very rare. Most children have a basic knowledge of pinyin, mathematics and literacy. Children not only acquire this knowledge through kindergarten bridging classes, but also acquire this knowledge through reading.
Next, I will share a set of books about early childhood transition, "Multiple Intelligences Preparation for Early Childhood Transition".
