Nowadays, "not writing homework mothers are kind and filial, and a homework chicken flies and dogs jump" has become the norm for many families with school-age children, and the center of family disputes mostly stems from children's studies.
At night, many communities can often hear parents shouting in various breakdowns: "How can you not learn such a simple arithmetic problem as 2×3 = 6?!" "I just taught you yesterday, why can't I remember anything now?"
When parents can't help but doubt their children's intelligence, they find that the little ones can score the complex characters and skills in cartoons without bad scores. The more I think about it, the more angry I get: my brain is so good, I just don't use it for learning, right?!

As a result, many parents began to use coercive means to force their children to learn, enrolling them in various extracurricular classes and cram classes, and eager to put the knowledge they needed into their children's brains.
But the result of this is often very ineffective, from causing children to revolt and causing them to be completely bored with school.
So what is the way to make children willing to take the initiative to learn, or even like learning? The book "Self-Learning Ability" is specifically designed to help parents solve this problem.
The author, Huang Yangming, is a doctor of psychology and a father of two children, accumulating a lot of valuable experience in rich parenting practice. He combined psychological knowledge, designed many small games to exercise children's learning ability, and used the principles of behavioral science to make children fall in love with learning.
The book points out that effective learning needs to cooperate with the development of the child's brain and give the child the corresponding stimulation at the appropriate time in order to achieve the best effect of the development of various abilities.
For example, children's language development sensitivity period is usually 4-9 months old; the peak of cognitive function development is roughly between 11 months and 3 years old.
Of course, due to individual differences, each child's ability to develop will be different, which requires parents to observe the child's learning effect, determine whether the child has entered the stage of rapid growth, and arrange the learning content accordingly.
The author also does not recommend the practice of arranging a lot of learning tasks for children early, because learning this thing is not as early as possible, nor is it the more the better.
Studies have shown that it is easy for children to feel tired after long hours of study, and it will be more and more difficult to concentrate. Moreover, high-intensity learning will lead to increased stress, and in a long-term stress state of excessive stress, it will damage the child's brain development and even affect their physical health.
If you want to improve your learning efficiency, you may wish to cut a large block of time into different small blocks, and go to rest or do other activities after completing the set task, which not only leaves time for the brain to recover energy, but also makes it easier for children to maintain concentration.
The formation of children's independent learning ability is composed of the following 5 abilities:
Perception: The ability to internalize external information into self-perception, which directly affects the efficiency of information processing in the learning process.
Attention: It is a weapon to maintain efficient learning for a long time, which will affect the quality of learning and indirectly affect learning efficiency.
Memory: Will determine the effectiveness of learning. If you can deeply process the information in the learning process, you will remember it more firmly.
Thinking: is the root cause of everyone's internalization of information methods and efficiency is different, good thinking can make the thinking process faster, easier to find the answer to the question.
Planning ability: it is the awakening of children's autonomy, only they can make their own decisions, in order to constantly correct the goal, but also have the motivation to complete the goal.
"Independent Learning Ability" details the improvement methods of each ability, and through various games, children can unconsciously exercise their learning ability in play.
In addition to how to cultivate the five abilities of learning, the author also gives scientific suggestions to stimulate children's learning motivation and cultivate good habits, helping children fall in love with learning in an all-round way and gain the autonomy of learning.
If you are also worried about the problems of your children's playfulness and low learning efficiency, you may wish to try the methods in this book, and you may be surprised!
