Wen | condensed mother's understanding
I accidentally saw the sharing of a cow baby's mother, and I learned that the reason why the child learned well and the adults were very worry-free was that the kindergarten only did one thing.
This child took the small TOEFL in the fourth grade of primary school, with a full score of one question, and 105 points in the sixth grade TOEfl, and was admitted to the CTY Gifted Children's Summer Camp in the United States, which can be called a cow baby.
Mom said they began to study systematically from the age of three or four and developed a daily schedule.
Seeing this, I was very surprised, the kindergarten began to have a schedule, is this not something that began after elementary school? Can't help but sigh: so ahead of time!
However, it was later found that there were many parents who did this, and the competition was really getting more and more fierce.
These kindergarten children have already begun to have a plan to learn
As soon as I flipped through it, I saw that many kindergarten children were studying strictly according to the plan.
Ms. Zhang of Chongqing, during the winter vacation of 2021, and her 4-year-old son made a schedule for a total of 26 days, studied for 25 days, and only the last Sunday did not study.
A parent in Wuhan has developed a dense learning plan for a 4-year-old child, from Monday to Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., with a variety of projects and very hard work.
There is a grandmother, from the beginning of the small class of the little granddaughter to make a study plan, manually record the learning activities of each day, quite careful and careful, a look is real.
There are many parents like this who are particularly concerned about their children's learning, so is it necessary to do so? Many friends still do not understand, afraid that this kind of advanced learning will tire out children.
Is it necessary to start kindergarten with a plan to learn?
Confucius said, "Less is like nature, and habits are like nature", which means that the habits developed when I was a child are as natural as those born.
Yale University research found that 3 to 6 years old is the most critical period for the cultivation of children's personality and behavior habits, and 85% to 90% of their personalities, ideas, and behaviors are formed at this stage.
3-6 years old is also known as the "wet cement period". That is to say, 3-6 years old children have a strong plasticity, and after this period, the cement slowly solidifies, and once the child's mentality and behavior habits are stable, it is difficult to change.
From the above theoretical analysis, it is necessary for 3-6 years old to develop learning habits.
In fact, let the child have a plan to learn, not to force the child to learn, let the child make a workbook, learn the learning content of primary and secondary schools. The main purpose is to let children develop a habit of thinking, behavior, and learning mentality.
It doesn't matter what you learn, what's important is to let your child know that you have to learn every day, learning is a big thing, and develop a habit of learning without moving.
After going to school, children will not take learning as a task and bargain at every turn, but will learn consciously. If he learns when other children play, he will not feel wronged, and subconsciously feel that it is the right thing to do.
If the child does not develop such a learning habit when he is a child, when it is necessary to learn, the parents throw a lot of learning content to the child, the child is not easy to accept psychologically, looking at the head.
This is why, when children go to school, some parents feel very tired, some parents feel very relaxed, and it is the parents who have done the work in front.
The content of learning according to the plan is also very exquisite
Let children learn according to the plan, can not copy other people's plans, according to their own children's situation, time arrangement, make their own plans. Let the child complete without stress and interest, and the plan can be operational.
I saw a mother who said that a task that children in middle school must complete every day is to play, and before going to bed, they will ask if they have fun all day, and the child will complete all things regularly, and he also has a sense of accomplishment.
To put it bluntly, the right plan for your child is the best plan.
In terms of learning content, it is strongly recommended that parents arrange the following matters, not only let the child win at the starting line, but also promote the child's overall ability.
The first one, read in Both Chinese and English
"Reading is the ladder of human progress", "Children who can't read are potential poor students"... Famous sayings like this, I believe we have heard a lot.
Now it is not only the language examination reading, but also English, history, geography, biology, physics, chemistry, etc. are all related to reading. Reading is not only about academics, but also about children's future work and life.
Reading is to stand on the shoulders of giants to solve problems, children will face complex problems in the future, only by reading poetry and books, there are hills in the chest, there is the ability to cope with changes with no change.
Kindergartens develop the habit of reading every day, just like eating and sleeping, and will be ready for getting close to books later. The knowledge nutrition obtained from reading from kindergarten will help improve comprehension, logical thinking ability, imagination and other abilities.
Second, thinking training
The ability to think is an ability that was neglected in the past, but is now valued more than ever. Gone are the days when rote memorization, limited knowledge in books, and high scores were achieved.
Now pay more attention to the examination of children's thinking ability, and this thinking ability can not be achieved overnight, need to be cultivated from an early age, do not wait until junior high school, high school to investigate, before temporarily holding the Buddhist family, one is no time, the other is to miss the key period of increasing difficulty.
Thinking training includes induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, abstraction and generalization, reverse thinking, comparative thinking, causal thinking, and so on. It sounds very high and deep, but in fact, it is not difficult to do, mainly to exercise the child's ability to solve practical problems.
For example, let children find rules, learn arrangements, do pairing, compare, etc., and recognize flat shapes, three-dimensional shapes, orientations, coordinates, and so on. Prepare a few sets of books for thinking training and play with your child to do exercises, and you can easily get it done.
Third, hands-on ability
The hand is called the second brain of human beings, the so-called mind hand skill, hand skill mind.
From the perspective of brain development, the child's hands are exercising the brain at the same time, which will make the brain smarter, so it must not be ignored.
From the academic point of view, now the school also pays more attention to the examination of children's hands-on ability, like junior high school to investigate physical, chemical, biological experiments, hands-on ability is not strong, the degree of experiment completion is not high, and even affect the further education. Senior high school teachers said that in high school, if you don't do experiments, you can't understand the topics.
Hands-on skills include many aspects, including doing housework, flipping books, origami, building blocks, pinching plasticine, paper cutting, puzzles, doing small experiments, writing training, and so on.
The writing training here is not writing, but pen control exercises, exercising hand muscle strength and preparing for writing well later.
Fourth, movement
Exercise can strengthen the body, exercise can exercise the brain, exercise can also enhance psychological tenacity, in the "Li Meijin: children around the age of 4 to exercise, not only exercise, there are more benefits" In this article, the benefits of exercise are detailed, and everyone has time to carefully understand it.
After going to primary school, there are physical fitness tests, such as jump rope, long jump, running, sitting body forward flexion, etc., if the child likes sports during kindergarten, the child will not be afraid when he encounters the sports test, and easily achieve good results.
There are also many sports suitable for children, such as running, riding a balance bike, riding a scooter, riding a scooter, ball sports, swimming, etc., choose a few items, accompany the child to exercise together, the child will also be full of enthusiasm.
epilogue
From an analytical point of view, it is very necessary for kindergartens to start carrying out learning activities in a planned manner. Although it is criticized as a "chicken baby", under the premise of conforming to the law of child development, arrange learning tasks suitable for children, let children play and learn, children feel fun, and a sense of achievement, learning easily in the future, adults also worry.
