Will 4-year-olds learn actively?
For parents, wanting their children to learn seems to be a "difficult thing to do in the sky", let alone active learning.
In fact, if parents can grasp the following small details in the process of their children's growth and learning, they can cultivate their children's initiative and self-discipline, which is not only beneficial to their future learning, but also affects all aspects of their lives.
If children have the ability to actively learn, they do not need the urging of parents, they will take the initiative to read picture books, play educational toys, and if they can stick to it for a long time, it will benefit them for life.
Specifically, parents need to pay attention to these points:
1. Follow the principle of step-by-step
The cultivation of children's active learning ability is not an overnight thing, but a long-term process, so parents should not be overly anxious and worried, let alone too anxious, or should follow the principle of step by step.
For example, the child's daily learning time can be slowly transitioned from ten minutes and fifteen minutes to twenty minutes, wait until a period of time, and then gradually increase, and insist on it, through such a day-by-day practice and persistence, it is no longer difficult for children to take the initiative to learn.
2. Maintain a pleasant learning atmosphere
If learning is something that makes a child feel happy, then he will naturally like learning and is willing to take the initiative to learn, otherwise, the child will naturally hate learning.
If you want your child to feel the joy of learning, parents should first help him create a good and pleasant learning atmosphere, such as you can arrange some dolls, toys, and picture books that your children like next to them, which is easier to attract their attention and will also make them feel happy.
In addition, parents should not scold their children, because this will only make children more afraid of learning, which is harmful to the cultivation of their active learning ability.
3. Parents should accompany their children to learn
Some parents always want to play with their mobile phones and then their children can obediently read picture books on their own, which is almost impossible.
Because the child's imitation ability is very strong, and their main object of getting along with is the parents, if the parents have been playing with the mobile phone, the child will naturally learn the parents, want to see the mobile phone, so want to let the child develop the ability to actively learn, parents need to be a good example, and must personally accompany the child to learn.
For example, when children read picture books, parents can read with them, if children want to read by themselves, parents can take a book of their own to read, through this method, both to urge children to learn, but also to play a good role in demonstration, can be described as a lot of work.
4. Parents should encourage their children more
Parental encouragement and hints are actually very important.
For example, if a parent says to a child, "Baby, believe in yourself, you can really sit there and read a picture book for ten minutes!" You can do it! "Then, the surprise happens and the child can really do it.
In fact, this is the effect of encouragement and positive hints, so when children feel that they can't do it, parents should encourage them more and give them some positive psychological hints, which can help them build self-confidence in learning, and also cultivate their ability to learn actively.
5. Parents should affirm their children's progress in time
The affirmation of parents to their children is also very important.
For example, the child did not seriously read the picture book yesterday, but today he read very seriously and attentively, and the parents must affirm him in time and say to him: "Baby, you are awesome today!" Reading picture books is especially serious, and you must continue to keep it! In this way, the child will be satisfied, and it will also motivate him to do what he is today next time.
In addition, after the child's mistake, if it is not a particularly serious problem, it can be directly ignored, if it is necessary to point out, parents can also briefly mention, do not always emphasize, otherwise it is easy to dampen the child's enthusiasm for learning.
In fact, I really have friends around me who insist on doing this, so although her children are only 4 years old, they can already take the initiative to read picture books or do other things there every day.
It can be seen that if parents can do these points, it is actually not difficult to cultivate a "cow baby" who loves to learn.
