Dear Parents,
Like many other parents, are you also worried about your child’s school admission? Which school to be admitted? Which syllabus to select, which school is really good, weather it is recognized the educational Dept or not. Be patient, here we have shown you the best way to prepare your child for the admission in a very good school. So many question answer at the time of admission. is a good man for you from this good school for you good child. Be patient.
It is true that sometimes some parents do get confused or frightened by wrong or exaggerated information about school admission test, fed by ill informed people, which ultimately becomes interview phobia. So please do not become the victims of any phobia. Because your phobia might get transmitted to your child. The best way to get rid of such phobia is to prepare your child with proper planning. Do you know most of the children start learning from the age of 9 months and by the time they are 3 or 4 years of age, they absorb a huge amount of information, perhaps more than they will learn in the rest of their lives? It is very much true.
A child possesses boundless desire to learn. Sometimes we kill this desire ignorantly because we fail to understand child psychology. Develop a habit of reading books on child behaviour which will help you unlock the hidden talents of your child from early age. More and more books you read, you discover never and never things about your child. “Please remember, you are your child’s first and most influential teacher.”
Please do not compare your child with other children. Since every child grows up in a different environment, it is obvious that each child will behave differently. During your childhood the necessity of reading books on child psychology was perhaps not felt, but today the world around us is very complex & competitive. We are passing through terrible times. Growing violence, degeneration and sex abuse etc have become very common. So you need to take help of books and magazines on child psychology.

At entry level, most of the schools do not go fir difficult interviews. The school authorities normally try to assess the level of intelligence, smartness and manners of a child. There is no need to panic if your child can not answer one pr two questions accurately in the interview. In fact, the questions which are asked in such interviews are more on common sense rather than questions from the preparatory books of alphabets and numbers.
While taking your child to school for an interview make sure that the child is dressed decently. Teach him/ her to wish the interviewers ‘Good Morning’ while entering and a ‘Thank You’ while leaving the interview room. These will create a very good impression.
You must be aware that most of the school authorizes interview the parents also. Like the child’s interviews, parents interviews are also quite informal in nature. What most of the school authorities try to assess from the parents’ interviews are – the parents level of commitment to the child, family background, whether the parents will be able to take proper care of the child at home, follow up day to day activities at school, will be able to co-operate with the teacher in the overall development of the child, family background, whether the parents will be able to take proper care of the child at home, follow up day to day activities at school, will be able to co-operate with the teacher in the overall development of the child.
While interviewing the child for entry level admission, the most common questions asked are:
- Count 1 to 10
- Say A to Z
- Sing a Rhyme
- With whom do you play at home
- What type of games do you play
- What colour do you like most etc…
- Father’s Name
- Mother’s Name
- School’s Name
- They may also asked to identify objects, colours, fruits or flowers etc…
On the other hand, from the parent’s interview, we the school authorities try to assess the attitude of the parents. So, most of the questions asked are indirect in nature.
- Such as who will guide the child in studies?
- Whether the parents would prefer to hire tutor?
- How many hours the parents spend with the child?
- What is the size of the family?
- The income of the parents
- The qualification of the parents.
U.K.G :
However, for admission into upper KG level, written test and oral test are equally important. The written test mostly covers English, Maths and Drawing. But for higher attitude and aptitude both hold equal weightage. As far as attitude is concerned, the parents would have to take proper care in teaching values, etiquette , discipline and manner to the children. How the parents behave at home will also have an impact on the children. It may also be mentioned that how the child dresses for the interview, how the child sits during the interview, how polite the child is while answering the questions would make a lot if difference. An honestly replied ‘No’ scores better marks than a confused ‘Yes’.
All kinds of phobia related to admission tests are born out of poor preparation. It is nothing but fear of failure. So the best way to avoid such phobia is to prepare your child for the test with proper planning. Develop the child mentally as well as physically. Give your child the best of knowledge and guidance. Allow your child to watch educative TV Programmes like Discovery, National Geographic, Animal Planet, Cartoon etc, allow your child sufficient play time. Remove fear from your child’s mind. For removal of fear from the child’s mind encourage your child to take part in various events or group activities which also encourage adaptability and fellow felling. In order to increase the level of intelligence of your child, ask the same questions differently. For example while returning from a park, ask your child to recollect what he / she had seen in the park or make the child draw a sketch of the park etc. And above all start practicing the questions answer regularly in formal as well as informal manner well ahead of the test. But please do not put necessary pressure on your child.
Many school authorities enquire about the educational qualification of the parents. It is true most schools want qualified parents. But we at Godwin Public School acknowledge the fact that sometimes parents who
Are not educated are more committed, know all the parents want to give their children the best education because they were not fortunate to receive education in good schools themselves during their childhood.
Therefore it is important for the parents to be honest, caring and committed to the children.
To the best of our knowledge we have touched up on all the details you wanted to know about entry level admission test. And now it is up to you to prepare your child for the test with proper planning, proper input and practice. Please take utmost care of your child’s health too. At the end, we would like to give you a massage that success is not an not an event, it is a journey. Many world famous great personalities were bad students at an early age, but they scaled greater heights in their respective fields with sheer hard work and dedication. So never lose heart even if your child is a slow learner. Allow spontaneous development of your child. Never pressurize, never give up. But select a good school for your good child.
It’s always safer if you admit your child to any Recognized school.
So, it is always better to teach a child about various career options, as soon as he/she starts maturing. But never impose any career choice on your child. Let the child choose the career path. The parents should only help them in taking sound decisions on career.

So reading books is essential for every one as books help develop initiative, originality and build character. Accordingly, books lay the foundation for a better tomorrow.

Illustrative books with colourful pictures attract the children. Reading books protect children from wasteful activities. For developing a habit of reading books among children, parents should take the initiative. Someone has rightly said – Just like our body needs healthy food everyday, our minds need good thoughts. So encourage your child to read good books regularly.

STRESS When we expect more and more from our children without proper preparation, we put undue stress on them. So be practical, set realistic goals and proper with proper planning.
SHYNESSShyness comes from not having confidence in oneself. Identify the causes of shyness in your child and try to remove it. Encourage him/her to take part in group activities, participating in group activities, participating in school functions / other events.

Put the Brakes …….
BLAMING others is a natural tendency in many children. It all starts from blaming their brothers, sisters & friends. Once blaming is encouraged / overlookded by the parents / guardians, children start enjoying it & gradually it might become a habit with them.
JEALOUSLY is something that never helps to go up in life, it rather pulls down. When your child develops such a behavious, teach him / her the drawbacks if jealously.
Likewise, GREED might also be there in a child’s nature. Pampering this habit makes your child a greedy person which ultimately might lead your child to develop the habit of STEALING. You should be able to differentiate greed from need and expectation from an early age.
Many a child has good talents. Yet they behave in an erratic way only because of their so called MOOD. At times they want to perform only according to their own wishes even when they themselves know that what they are doing is wrong, One should tackle this problem at an early age because it is one habit which, if developed, becomes very hard to overcome.
Children pick-up the habit of LYING from their surrounding seeing that a lie- can ward them handsomely or save them from punishment. We should teache the ill effects of telling lies. We should make them understand that in the short run, a liar can have his / her day but it is the honesty and truth which ultimately counts. WE should teach them to admit their mistakes and to be truthful.
