Many parents will have a question when their children are first exposed to chess: No one in our family knows chess, how to tutor their children?
We answer this question from the following levels:
What children need most when learning chess is the company of their parents
Children learn anything, they don't need tutoring, they need to accompany and explore together, learn together, and experience together.
Chess itself is a game, what parents need to do is to explore the gameplay and rules of this game with their children, and what children need is the feeling of "being together" with mom and dad. This feeling of companionship together is an important premise and foundation for children to develop interests (whether chess or otherwise), especially in the early stages of enlightenment.
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 allowed him to translate what he had learned in chess lessons into his own language and understanding. Mom and Dad, at this time, just be a studious student. (Reflection: We all want our children to learn well, how do we set an example when we are students for our children?)
Beginners should pay more attention to eating exercises
For children who are new to chess, they should pay more attention to eating and practicing
One thing to note is that children don't start playing chess games, but eating games. Starting from a simple chess game, you can cultivate your child's interest in chess, learn simple eating exercises, so as to carry out simple games, and also strengthen children's logical thinking and memory skills. So ask moms and dads (especially those who can play chess) to play the game of eating with their children when they first start learning chess, and the children want the fun in the game process, not to learn something.
Give your child more time to embrace new things
Give your child more space to experience the fun on the board
Parents should not rush into action
Stifle your child's interest in the cradle
Interest is the best teacher
