Dis \u2019n lewensveranderende ervaring vir \u2019n graad 7-leerder om op sy eerste dag van graad 8 te besef \u201cnou begin ek weer heel onder\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar dis juis di\u00e9 les wat die kind voorberei vir verandering wat \u2019n konstante is in die lewe, meen Faffa Coetzee, skoolhoof van die Laerskool Brackenfell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit gaan baie gebeur. Die volgende keer wanneer die matrikulant universiteit toe gaan en dan weer wanneer die jong mens die werksmark betree,\u201d s\u00ea Coetzee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarom is graad 7 \u2019n belangrike oorgangsfase wat goed bestuur moet word. In die graad word die leerder voorberei om meer verantwoordelikheid te aanvaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n lewensveranderende ervaring vir die kind om laerskool te voltooi. Hy beweeg uit \u2019n beskermende milieu na \u2019n vryer omgewing in ho\u00ebrskool. Daarom neem ons as onderwysers op laerskool \u2019n doelbewuste besluit om die graad 7-leerder meer verantwoordelikheid te gee ten opsigte van hul werk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGraad 7 is nie net die hoogtepunt van die kind se laerskoolloopbaan nie, maar ook die eerste jaar van die senior fase-kurrikulum. Sy eerste tree in graad 7 gaan dus in graad 8 en 9 voort.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In graad 7 word kinders stadig maar seker aan meer akademiese druk blootgestel. Die kind begin leer om self meer leiding te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHuiswerk sal byvoorbeeld nie meer op die bord neergeskryf word nie en die kind moet nou self verantwoordelikheid neem daarvoor,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omdat ouers geneig is om hul kinders in watte toe te draai in laerskool, moet onderwysers doelbewuste pogings aanwend om die kind voor te berei op verantwoordbaarheid en aanspreeklikheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWanneer die kind ho\u00ebrskool betree is die poel eweskielik groter. Sy sosiale omgewing verander oornag. In Graad 7 was hy sy laerskool se sportster en sy was hoofmeisie. Nou is daar vele sportsterre en vier ander hoofmeisies van ander laerskole. Op laerskool het die kind dalk eerste gestaan in die klas, maar nou is daar ander leerders wat beter vaar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die grootste uitdaging hier, s\u00ea Coetzee, is vir die kind om te leer om sy prestasie teen homself te meet en nie teen ander nie. \u201cBaie ho\u00ebrskoolleerders kry swaar omdat hulle hulself teen ander se prestasies meet. Hulle moet nuut aanpas. Dis \u2019n moeilike oorgangstyd vir die leerder en die ouer se liefde en ondersteuning speel \u2019n groot rol in die tyd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faffa s\u00ea die druk op die kind in ho\u00ebrskool is geweldig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy verloor Saterdag \u2019n groot rugby wedstryd maar moet dan huis toe gaan en voorberei vir \u2019n groot eksamen op Maandagoggend. Op laerskool gee ons die kinders nog bietjie ruimte, iets wat nie in die ho\u00ebrskool gedoen word nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die tyd word die kind ook \u2019n tiener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHormone verander in \u2018demone\u2019 met geite en grille in oortreffende trap. Ook hier speel die ouer \u2019n belangrike rol om die kind se ontwikkelingsfase en oorgang te bestuur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coetzee s\u00ea dis nou belangriker as ooit dat ouers met hul kinders kommunikeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie kind moet sy ervaringe met sy ouers kan deel. Die kind moet \u2019n uitlaatklep h\u00ea vir sy frustrasies. Dis egter moeilik in die tienerjare omdat tieners nie graag met hul ouers praat nie. Hul vriende speel nou \u2019n groter rol in hul lewens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTog moet die ouer sy kind die versekering gee: \u2018Ek is daar vir jou as jy my nodig het, kom praat net met my\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coetzee s\u00ea die tiener se frontale lob is nog nie ten volle ontwikkel nie en verstaan sy dus nog nie die dinamika van oorsaak en gevolg nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie kind se brein ontwikkel nog en soos hy die w\u00eareld om hom ervaar verstaan hy nie altyd die konteks daarvan nie. Hy verstaan nie altyd hoekom hy snaakse goed doen, en gevolge ervaar nie. Die jong seun sal byvoorbeeld sy motorfiets by die straat af wheelie<\/em> sonder om eers daaraan te dink dat hy kan val.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ook op \u2019n emosionele vlak is daar \u2019n potpourri van faktore wat \u2019n rol speel in ontwikkeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie graad 8-meisie stap op dag een by die ho\u00ebrskool in en sien haar matriekheld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWat ons kalwerliefde noem is vir tieners \u2019n realiteit. Hulle sny hulle tande in die verhouding tussen meisie en seun, en dit kan oorweldigend wees. Ook hier is ouer-begeleiding belangrik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy raai ouers aan om vaste strukture te vestig tydens die belangrike ontwikkelingsfase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSit klein goedjies in plek, soos byvoorbeeld vasgestelde tye vir studie en sport, en selfs sosiale tye. \u201cDis baie belangrik omdat dit vir \u2019n kind sekuriteit gee en help om \u2019n nuwe ritme te vestig. Die kind het struktuur nodig om nie oorweldig te voel nie. Tog is daar nie \u2019n regte of verkeerde manier nie, s\u00ea hy. \u201cDie onvoorwaardelike liefde van die ouer is alles. Gee vir jou kind vlerke, maar hy moet weet jy is sy vangnet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dis \u2019n lewensveranderende ervaring vir \u2019n graad 7-leerder
