Case Sharing Mingming’s family attaches great importance to their children’s education. When Mingming was 3 years old, his family began to teach him various knowledge: his grandfather taught him to memorize ancient poems, his grandmother taught him to read, and his mother taught pinyin and arithmetic… Not only did he teach himself, Mingming also studied in middle class. At that time, his mother also enrolled him in an intensive class, so that before entering elementary school, the smart Mingming not only learned basic addition and subtraction, but also literate more than 1,000 words. After Mingming entered elementary school, his grades were among the best at first, but in the second grade, he began to feel struggling, and often complained that he didn\’t want to go to school. No matter how hard his family tried to persuade him, it was useless… It is understood that many parents are worried that their children will not be able to keep up in elementary school. \”Advanced education\” is provided to children in kindergarten. However, this mechanical accumulation of knowledge may gain temporary advantages, but it comes at the expense of children\’s long-term interest in learning. If you are still struggling with this issue, please first understand the huge harm that advanced learning can do to children’s growth! 1. Sacrificing the opportunity for children to develop in an all-round way. Many knowledge and skills are easy to learn when children mature to a certain level. Deliberately advancing and accelerating development will cause children to waste precious time on non-sustainable mechanical memory. As a result, opportunities for personality development and quality cultivation are sacrificed, such as skills in cooperation and interaction with peers, personal sports abilities, hands-on experience, etc., which will be detrimental to the overall healthy development of children. 2 Stifle children’s interest in learning. Before the age of 6, children do not have the ability to think logically. If you force them to learn pinyin, literacy, and arithmetic too early, children will be unable to understand the meaning of words and arithmetic and can only deliberately remember these shapes and numbers. symbol. Just like improper diet causing indigestion, long-term passive absorption will not only turn a child\’s brain into a fixed information storage container, but will also ingrain the idea that \”learning is boring and hard\” into the child\’s mind, making them lose their ability. The internal driving force of learning can even produce a feeling of being tired of learning. 3. The immediate effect of \”advancing\” is difficult to maintain for a long time. There is a saying in the education field called the \”third grade effect\”, which means that after many children who learn ahead of time enter the first grade of elementary school, it is easy for them to get full marks because they have already learned the content. , thereby developing the bad habit of not listening carefully. When learning new knowledge in third grade, due to the lack of good learning attitudes and learning habits, these children often experience a sharp decline in performance, lack of development potential, and develop a sense of incompetence in learning, which will have a negative impact on their future learning. . \”Advanced learning\” is so harmful, does it mean that parents can give up on \”school preparation\”? The famous preschool education expert Hua Aihua clearly stated in a family education lecture: Preparation for school is not only preparation, but also long-term preparation. However, the content of preparation is not pinyin, literacy and arithmetic problems, but the quality of learning. Prepare. Dear parents, here are some behavioral characteristics of children with good learning qualities listed by Professor Hua. Come and evaluate the learning quality of your children! ● Is TA full of curiosity and inquiry? ● Does he or she have a sense of time? (The efficiency of learning is included in this) ● Is TA’s attitude when studying serious and focused? ● Is TA committed to solving problems? Is it easyGive up easily? ● Will he strongly demand that he be allowed to come? ● Does TA often make assumptions about some issues? Such as: What would happen if this happened? What would happen if that happened? ● Does TA know how to use tools to solve problems (including school supplies)? As parents, how do we cultivate good learning qualities in our children? You may wish to refer to the following tips! 1. Cultivate reading interest. Developing reading habits is one of the most important learning tasks for children before they are 6 years old. Some children do not do well in mathematics after entering elementary school. The reason is that they cannot read the questions. Reading ability is not only related to other subjects, but also allows children to grow into a person with vision, thinking, and a rich heart. Parents should choose appropriate picture books for their children based on their interests and ages, agree on a fixed parent-child reading time every day, share the joy of reading, and weave a beautiful web for their children through specific images in the story, allowing them to grow in their long lives. Maintain a pure and optimistic attitude during the journey. 2. Let your children try their hands more often. Parents should never underestimate their children’s sticky handiwork or “unlike” graffiti. These cutting, pasting, scribbling and drawing are not only the best way to show children’s creativity, It is also a necessary exercise for the muscle function of their little hands. This kind of training can well exercise children\’s muscles and bones, promote the development of fine hand movements, and provide a certain foundation for the task of \”writing\” after children go to school. At the same time, strengthening the fine movements of the hands can also promote brain development and cultivate children\’s ability to be careful, observant and distinguish similar things. 3. Train children\’s concentration. Each class in primary school lasts about 45 minutes, which is longer than that in kindergarten and requires higher attention from children. Many first-grade children cannot sit still during class, cannot concentrate on listening, and like to look left and right, which is a sign of lack of concentration. The attention of young children is mainly attracted by things they are interested in. Parents can consciously lead their children to do sports and play attention games with them to improve their quality of concentration, enhance their self-control, and develop efficient learning habits. 4. Stimulate children’s desire to explore. Every child has a curiosity to explore the world. This precious desire to explore is the basis of creative thinking and an inexhaustible driving force for learning and growth. When faced with children’s “why?”, instead of telling them the answer directly, it is better to look up the information together or gain knowledge through practical operations; when faced with children’s “I don’t know how”, don’t rush to do the job for them. Instead, encourage them to change their perspective and change their answers. A way to rethink…compared to the mechanically memorized formulas and Chinese characters in the brain, these are precious assets that will benefit children for life.
