Guiding left-handed students to a healthy lifestyle during the period of adaptation to school education

Abstract

Directing left-handed students to a healthy lifestyle during the period of adaptation to school education is one of the urgent problems facing us today. During this period, psychological restructuring takes place. This requires not only a mental state, but also great physical endurance from the student. A child’s readiness for school is determined by meeting a number of requirements. These include: general physical development of the child, acquiring a sufficient amount of knowledge, acquiring “everyday” skills of self-service, the culture of behavior, communication, primary work; good command of speech; prerequisites for mastering writing (development of small hand muscles); ability to cooperate; desire to learn. It is possible to talk about the end of the adaptation period for left-handed students of the 1st grade only in the IV quarter. Because the adaptation of students of some classes is not limited to the first 3-5 weeks of training or the first quarter, as some teachers believe.
