If your
child is to get enrolled in school in 2001, here are tips to prepare the little one for the first interview.
The beginning
of a child's academic journey excites every parent. The mother and father
gear up for what is the first step to school education-the first school
interview. While such oral interviews were not mandatory in the past, they
have now become almost compulsory. There are various opinions on the need
for such testing sessions. However, parents have to prepare and train their
child for the interview.
Do not be tense
Your child
will be judged according to his speech, perception of the world, and basic
skills of reading and writing. So, do not take tension. Or the child will
get the vibes. Your worries will travel to him or her. Remember it is the
first and not the last interview. Consider for a moment that your child
does not get selected. It does not necessarily mean that your child
is dumb. It is just that he or she is unable to present oneself coherently.
Let the child open
up
Interview or no
interview, let your child express oneself freely. Children shy away from
neighbors, guests and relatives. This tendency should be curbed. Therefore,
preparation for the school interview is not an overnight activity. The
child must be able to express his thoughts and knowledge well, of course
without being overconfident. This will ultimately help him to create a
good impression in the 15 to 20 minute short interview.
Stimulate curiosity
Make your child
alert to the environment around him. Do not dismiss his queries as sweet-nothings.
Give satisfactory answers to his questions. This will make him respond
to others' queries and investigations.
Develop social
etiquettes
Habits like
greeting visitors, shaking hands with new acquaintances, saying hello to
neighbors, wishing a New Year to a loved one, will help the child to not
only do well in the interview. But these will be lifetime gifts.
Inculcate cleanliness
as a value
Teach cleanliness
as a matter of principle. Be strict with the child when it comes to maintenance
of hygiene. Teach the child to clean hands before and after every meal.
Do not allow him or her to fancy long nails. Stop him from spitting in
public places. Not that these habits will be directly tested in the interview.
But they are bound to reflect in his interview. For instance, if he throws
the wrapper of a chocolate in the room, it will be obvious that he is not
in the habit of throwing litter in the bin.
Get the basics clear
There are some
basic concepts which need to be made clear to the child. Like the child's
name, parents' name and name of the sibling. He or she should know where
the parents work. The child must be able to tell why he or she wants to
go to school. The child must be able to name colors, fruits, vegetables,
birds and animals. Knowledge of alphabets is welcome. He or she should
be able to identify few vehicles. Simple nursery rhymes should be memorized.
