Neuropsychologist advises against sending children under 7 to school
Many parents want to send their children to school as early as possible.
However, the decision is not always correct.
A child under 7 is not ready for school, so parents should not send him there before the specified age. The Moscow Agency reports details with reference to neuropsychologist Elena Lashtabega.
It is noted that many children go to school at the age of less than 7 years, although they are not physiologically ready for this. This can lead to difficulties in learning.
According to Lashtabegu, too much stress at school early on can lead to various problems in the future, including heart disease and neuroses.
She noted that by the age of 7, a child's musculoskeletal system does not have time to develop, so he may have problems with writing. Tension in the hand can lead to clamps that affect performance.
In addition, early teaching of writing can cause the development of dysgraphia.
The neuropsychologist emphasized that play activities are important for a child up to the age of 7. Educational activities begin at the age of seven.
