Parents and children grow up together on the road to learning chess

Many parents will have a question when their children are first exposed to chess: no one in our family will play, how to tutor the child or play with him?

1, children learn anything, do not need tutoring, what is needed is companionship.

Chess itself is a game, what parents need to do is to explore the rules and fun of this game with their children, and what children need is the feeling of being "together" with their parents. This feeling of companionship is an important premise and foundation for children to develop interests (whether chess or otherwise), especially in the early stages of enlightenment. In the process of companionship, explore with children, learn together, make progress together, and experience the joy of success!

2. The affirmation of parents is the driving force for children to continue to move forward.

Children who are new to chess need affirmation. If he walks right on a chess piece, puts a right shape, and eats a chess piece, he can get timely affirmation from his parents, which will greatly enhance his child's self-confidence and interest. This affirmation is not abstract praise, but a confirmation of concrete behavior, without any emotional packaging. What's great, too good, too good, too great, too abstract to really activate the power of the child's action. Surely good behaviors can be solidified, and the accumulation of good behaviors will lead to good habits, and the ability of all aspects will be improved, and the level of chess strength will naturally improve.

3. The best way to learn is to practice and teach others.

Parents don't play chess just right, let the child go home and be a "little teacher". When a child tells his parents how to play this game, it is his best learning opportunity. This process allows children to review, sort out, summarize and summarize the knowledge they have learned, and then transform it into their own understanding, and express it in language, exercising the child's language organization ability, interaction ability, logical thinking ability, and stimulating the child's potential. We all hope that children will study well and listen carefully to lectures, when we are students in front of children, we must set a good example for children, words and teaching are not as good as teaching by example, and it is the simplest way to educate by example.

4. Play more games with children.

What children start playing at the beginning is not chess, but eating games, which is very in line with the rules of children's learning. The so-called chess game is not only to fight the king of the other party to win or lose, there are many ways to play chess with children. For example, in a battle of eight soldiers, whoever raises and changes first wins; in a vaulting game, the soldiers do not move, find out the minimum number of moves of the horse to eat all the soldiers; the kingless game, who eats the opponent's pieces first will win, and so on. Children are proficient in the movements and characteristics of chess pieces in various games, and feel the fun of chess.

5. Pay attention to the rules and dilute the wins and losses.

Many parents (especially parents who can play chess) play chess with their children, they can't wait to tell their children what to go, what to eat, what to pay attention to, see the child go bad chess, but also can't help but intervene immediately, such "help" will impose adult thinking on children, one to destroy the child's imagination and creativity, two to destroy the child's ability to think independently, and three will hit the child's self-confidence. Children just start to play chess, more by feeling to play chess, can only see the move in front of them, there is no overall view is very normal, not to mention the layout, planning, attack the king. As long as the child is playing chess according to the rules, parents should not interfere too much, it is not important to win or lose in this period, what is important is to follow the rules to play chess. For example, sitting upright, putting your hands in place, not allowing casual repentance and playing tricks, and so on.

In addition to the guidance of teachers in learning chess, children need the help and cooperation of parents to consolidate the learning content and maintain their interest in learning.

1. Parents learn one step first, so as to lay a good foundation for education and accompanying their children to play chess. Now there are many chess teachings on the Internet, parents only need to learn simple moves and rules, can reach a consensus with their children, at least the children go home to tell you about what happened in the class, you can understand, so that children will feel that they have been valued, but also increased the interest in learning chess. In addition, you can also let the child go home as a small teacher to teach you how to play chess, which not only helps the child review the content of the class, but also stimulates the child's initiative in doing things and learning (of course, you must be able to distinguish the right and wrong of the child's explanation under the premise of the parents' advance meeting)

2. Pay attention to the influence of the environment and stimulate children's interest in games and stories. Interest is the best teacher. In the family, we can find some chess-related cartoons online or use stories and games to attract children's interest in chess. For example, how chess came about, who played chess and won the first place, and so on.

Note: Parents for children who have just begun to contact chess, do not ask him to win or lose, because the child just played chess will definitely lose more, if parents blindly ask the child the results of chess, will make the child feel that playing chess is very afraid of themselves, and slowly will lose the enthusiasm and interest in chess. Parents can ask their children about some other topics, for example, are you happy in the class today? There was no waiting to make new friends.

3. Step by step, gradually guide children to learn to play chess. In the first stage of learning, parents can first let the child recognize the black and white checkerboard and various types of sub-boards, and can make up some interesting stories to make children distinguish between memories. After the child has recognized all the grids and pieces, he will guide his thinking of playing chess step by step. The so-called chess is not only that you lose and I win, but there are many ways to communicate chess with children. For example, walking kingless chess, who eats the opponent's chess pieces first will win; or walking soldiers, whose creeps rise first, who will win; or the practice of walking horses, the ponies from a1 grid h1 grid h8 grid a8 grid a1 grid a1 grid (requirements: must follow the pony's jumping method, each side takes 5 steps, a total of 20 steps to walk the entire chessboard, whoever reaches the specified finish line first wins. Let the child familiarize himself with the moves of the chess pieces in the game and feel the joy and ease of playing chess.

4. In front of the chessboard, strictly implement the rules of chess. When playing chess with children at home, there are several points that parents need to pay more attention to: once they play chess clearly, they must pay attention to the formation of children's behavior habits, such as sitting upright, putting their hands well, etc. Do not let children play tricks and regrets at will. When the child is new to chess, it is more to play chess by feeling, as long as the child is playing chess according to the rules, parents do not interfere too much, if the parents really feel that the child takes which step is not good, you can use the way of the problem to guide the child to think about another move.

5. Be a referee instead of an athlete. When children play chess at home, many things need to be done by the children themselves (such as playing chess by themselves, checking by themselves, etc.), even if the children do not complete the requirements of the teacher, as long as the quality is good, it is the best for the children.

6. Maintain contact and synchronization with the school, and cooperate with the school to enhance the child's interest in the country. Parents should communicate with the chess teacher on a regular basis (including the child's situation at home and the child's situation at school) so as to better help the child learn.

7. When there is an opportunity, let the child participate in more activities organized by the school (parent-child activities, summer camps, competitions, etc.) so that the child can feel the joy brought by chess in the activity, and help the child better adjust his mentality in the activity.
