輕松愉快的暑假畫上了圓滿的句號，又到9月開學季。艾毅幼兒園在各城市的幼兒園也已經陸續開學，迎接新的小伙伴入園。

　　每當新生入園，就會聽到園所內不時傳來哭聲。不僅是孩子緊張、局促，家長也特別擔心孩子對新環境感到陌生、不能適應幼兒園集體生活。

　　不過不用擔心，為了幫寶貝們快速喜歡上新環境，我們校園的老師們早就做好了準備!

　　組織家庭主題沙龍，提前儲備知識

　　第一次入園對孩子和父母都是一次挑戰，很多家長會感到手足無措。

　　天津艾毅多元智能幼兒園生態城校園在開學前準備了家庭教育主題沙龍，特意請來了博雅幼兒園創始人、教育專家、早教研究院賈瑋月老師。

　　針對幼兒入園前后的禮儀、溝通、幼兒流行性疾病等知識進行講解，幫助家長了解開學前后各項注意事項。

　　給寶貝一個美好難忘的入園儀式

　　紅色的地毯從校園門口一直延伸入校園，粉紅色氣球連廊靜靜等待孩子們的到來。寶貝在爸媽的陪伴下，用走紅毯的方式入校園。這樣有儀式感的入園形式，一定會給寶貝們留下深刻的印象。

　　對于那些第一次乘班車的寶貝，老師會到班車門口迎接并溫柔的把他們抱下校車，對于還不太適應的寶貝，老師會耐心地陪伴孩子一起玩游戲，看繪本，緩解小朋友的分離焦慮。

　　請寶貝熟悉的“朋友”來園做客

　　對于新入園的寶貝們來說，第一天入園，離開父母跟陌生的老師和小伙伴獨處一天，的確是個不小的挑戰。

　　艾毅幼兒園西安國際城校園的老師們別出心裁，請來寶貝們熟悉的小豬佩奇、熊大熊二在幼兒園門口等待迎接。不出所料，見到自己熟悉的動畫角色，就像看到老朋友一樣，陌生害怕的情緒一掃而空!

　　克服很多個第一次

　　不知不覺，西安艾毅多元智能幼兒園御錦城校園的小伙們們已經開學兩周了，在上一周，寶貝們克服了很多個第一次!

　　第一次獨立去洗手間、第一次交到很多同齡的新朋友。第一次在老師的照顧下，完成入園晨檢，加入小伙伴的集體游戲，排隊獨立進餐...

　　經過兩周的幼兒園生活，寶貝們已經適應了園區的生活，一切都變得井然有序起來。

　　為了讓新加入艾毅幼兒園的寶貝們喜歡上這個新環境，各校可謂創意百出，用溫暖、耐心和關愛與孩子們建立情感的鏈接，讓孩子們對幼兒園有一個好印象。

　　不過，研究發現新生入園有一個月左右的短暫適應期。在這期間，孩子的情緒還會出現反復和波動。

　　建議在此期間，我們的家長配合老師一起幫助孩子度過適應期!

　　分離焦慮小貼士

　　1. 正式告別，說完“再見”后離開

　　送新生入園后，不建議家長把孩子放下就走，或者是悄悄溜走。如此一來，幼兒對家長和老師的信任感大大下降。

　　當然，一步三回頭，表現得依依不舍，這樣的做法也會讓孩子更焦慮和恐慌。建議家長離開時和孩子說“再見”，也鼓勵孩子對父母說“再見”。

　　2、家長調整好心態，給幼兒積極暗示

　　家長盡量不在孩子面前表現焦慮與擔心，詢問孩子可以多問開放式問題，比如：“今天幼兒園的生活你感覺怎么樣呢?”而不要問“今天有沒有小伙伴欺負你?"之類的問題，要用正面客觀的語氣引導孩子。

　　3、訓練孩子獨立能力，適應園區生活

　　在幼兒園老師會引導孩子獨立吃飯、穿衣、睡覺、疊被，訓練孩子獨立自理的能力。建議家長幫助孩子在家中強化這些動作，能幫助孩子更好更快適應幼兒園生活。

　　4、正確看待孩子出現的反應

　　孩子入園在情緒、飲食、睡眠、行為及身體方面都會出現一些反應。如：出現情緒不安波動，膽小、沉默不語，或者食量減少、便秘...如出現以上情況，家長對此要有足夠的理解和心理準備。

　　新生入學的分離焦慮只是暫時的，老師針對適應較慢的幼兒，會時刻陪伴在孩子身邊，幫助他們盡快適應幼兒園的集體生活。家長也無需對此過于擔心，相信我們的寶貝們一定克服困難，勇敢開始幼兒園美好的學習生活!

　　The happy summer vacation has come to an end, and our back-to-school season is in full swing! Ivy kindergartens in every city are opening one after another to welcome returning and new students.

　　Every time new students first join a kindergarten, we often hear sounds of crying. Not only are these new students understandably nervous, but their parents are worried that their children may not be able to adjust to the new environment or to life in a kindergarten.

　　But please don’t worry. To help children adjust and feel comfortable in their new environment, Ivy teachers are here to support you and your child 100%! Here are some examples of what we did.

　　An Education Salon to provide extra support for families

　　Entering kindergarten for the first time is a challenge for both children and parents, and many parents may feel at a loss.

　　Ivy MI Kindergarten Eco-city Campus (Tianjin) invited Jia Weiyue, the founder of Boya Kindergarten and noted early education expert to share her insights with Ivy parents at our Education Salon.

　　At this event, we explained the etiquette, communication and some common illnesses children may be prone to, to help parents understand the things they should pay attention to before and after their children begin kindergarten.

　　A day at school with their parents

　　Ivy MI Kindergarten Lijing Campus (Beijing) arranged a unique activity for new students to help them feel comfortable. Children were able to spend a day experiencing the kindergarten with their parents. Teachers guided children participate in group games, recognize English words with foreign teachers, and try out various creative DIY activities.

　　The arrangement not only helped children become familiar and comfortable in their new environment, it also helped parents understand how their children spend their days at the kindergarten.

　　A memorable welcome ritual for children

　　A red carpet stretched from the gate to the campus, while pink balloons lined the paths to welcome the children. This welcome ritual created a memorable and happy first impression for the students.

　　For children who took the school bus for the first time, teachers boarded the bus and gently guided them off the bus. For those who were not quite accustomed to the new kindergarten life, teachers patiently played games and read picture books with them to ease their anxiety.

　　Asking “friends” that children are familiar with to the kindergarten as guests

　　For new students, the first day of kindergarten means leaving their parents and staying with new teachers and students. It is indeed a challenge to children.

　　Teachers at Ivy MI Kindergarten First City Campus (Xi'an) carried out an innovative welcoming ceremony. They had people dressed up like in familiar children characters such as Peppa Pig, and Briar and Bramble to welcome the children at the gate. When the children saw the familiar characters, they immediately felt like they were seeing old friends and lost their fear.

　　Overcoming multiple “first times”

　　Time flies. Two weeks have passed since Ivy MI Kindergarten La Botanica Campus (Xi’an) opened for the new semester. During the last week, children have overcome multiple “first times”.

　　The first time to go to the washroom independently; first time to make many new friends; first time to go through entry check under the guidance of teachers; first time to join group games with other children; first time to line up and eat meals by themselves…

　　After two weeks of kindergarten life, children have become accustomed to it, and everything has become a familiar routine.

　　by Ivy MI Kindergarten La Botanica Campus (Xi’an)

　　To help children love their new environment, each Ivy kindergarten tries their best to come up with innovative ideas, to build an emotional link between the children and kindergarten filled with warmth, love and patience.

　　However, studies show that children who enter the kindergarten for the first time need about a month to adjust. During this period, children may experience mixed emotions.

　　So, we suggest parents consult with their children’s teachers to help their children adjust to kindergarten.

　　Tips on treating separation anxiety

　　1.Officially say goodbye and leave

　　It’s not suitable for parents to leave the children by just disappearing or sneaking out after dropping off their children, because such actions may cause the children to feel like they were somewhat deceived

　　Of course, leaving in a slow and reluctant way may also make children feel more anxious and nervous. So, we suggest that parents simply say “goodbye” before leaving, and encourage their children to say “goodbye” back.

　　2、Have an open mindset to positively influence the children

　　Parents should try not to behave with anxiety or worry in front of their children. Instead, ask open-ended questions like “how was your day today?” rather than “did anyone hurt you today?” Please guide the children with positive and objective ideas.

　　3. Nurture children’s independence to help them embrace kindergarten life

　　In the kindergarten, teachers nurture children’s independence by guiding them to eat, get dressed, sleep and fold their quilt by themselves. We suggest that parents practice these habits at home with their children as well to help them adjust to kindergarten life.

　　4. Pay attention to children’s behaviors

　　Some children may experience behavioral changes, such as mood swings, becoming more timid, etc. Should that happen, parents need to understand their children and make the necessary adjustments to support their children.

　　by Ivy Bilingual School Summit Residences Campus (Ningbo)

　　The separation anxiety of new students is often just a temporary phenomenon. Teachers will stay with children who may take a little bit more time to adjust to a new environment. We believe that children will definitely overcome the difficulties and start their own kindergarten life bravely.
