The next-door neighbor, Uncle Wang, is a middle school teacher who will accompany his wife and children every day after retirement with his grandchildren. Because we go to the same small park every afternoon, we are familiar with each other.
Since my daughter went to kindergarten, I would keep receiving "complaints" from teachers, saying that my daughter was very naughty at school, and she always liked to do some small actions when she was in class, either playing by herself or whispering with other children.
One day when I was taking my children to the park to play, I happened to meet Uncle Wang and his wife who also took the children to play. The old couple saw that I was at a loss and asked me why.
So I told me about my daughter's kindergarten, and Teacher Wang smiled and said, "Your daughter's situation is similar to my grandson's, it's all about concentration." However, Haohao's time is much better. “
Teacher Wang said that last year he found that his grandson's concentration was not good, he had no patience in playing with toys, he couldn't sit still reading picture books, he lost his temper and cried at every turn, and the children's parents were about to be driven crazy.
Through years of teaching experience, Teacher Wang knew that there was a problem with his grandson's concentration, so he began targeted training. Through several months of training, Hao Hao can already quietly read two or three picture books in a row.
Hearing this, I seemed to see the dawn of victory and strongly demanded to see how Teacher Wang trained children's concentration. In the afternoon, I observed for half a day, and I didn't find any tricks from Teacher Wang. All afternoon he took his grandson there to color, connect, and make a difference. Seeing this, I thought to myself, "That's it? ”。
Uncle Wang is worthy of being a people's teacher, and he is really wise as a torch, and he can see through my thoughts at a glance. He told me that the so-called attention is that the child can concentrate on accomplishing something without interference. Children's concentration is characterized by insufficient concentration, especially in the duration of concentration.
In general, three- and four-year-olds are able to focus on one thing for 15 minutes. After elementary school, the concentration time is only 20 to 25 minutes.
Do not underestimate the child playing the game of wiring, walking the maze, and painting, it is between this stroke that it not only satisfies the child's curiosity, but also enhances the child's concentration, control and observation.
Psychology believes that attention is divided into selective attention, continuous attention, and distributive attention. Most children will have problems such as insufficient attention intensity and short duration. If you want to train your child's attention, parents must find ways to attract their children's eyes and hands. When the child can complete a thing for a long time and with hand-eye coordination, the child's attention is naturally improved.
It is through this method that he plays with the child for 10 minutes every morning, middle and night, and soon the child's concentration is improved.
He also told me what parents should pay attention to when it comes to developing children's concentration
1, less interference
Teacher Wang said that when training children's concentration, if the child does not send out an invitation, parents should not interrupt him. When children focus on playing a game, parents should also deliberately lower the volume.
2, small goals, big progress
When playing in the first place, parents should not expect their children to fall in love with these games all at once. We could play with him and start playing for 5 to 10 minutes. When the child finds the trick and feels a sense of accomplishment, he will be deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate himself.
3. Be good at guidance
If the child encounters some more difficult problems when playing, we can gradually give the child some small tips to guide him to complete the task.
He also recommended to me the book "125 Games to Enhance Children's Concentration" that he and his children are using, which is divided into three books, from simple to complex, layer by layer.
After getting the book, I asked the child to choose the game that he liked and was more interested in. When my daughter saw the coloring game, she couldn't wait to play it. I thought she might play for a few minutes and then give up. Unexpectedly, that momentum was an hour of play.
When she had mastered her coloring skills, I asked her if she wanted to try the harder game. The daughter smiled and said, "Come on, mommy." “
Later, I also studied the book myself and found that different game types are focused. For example, digital coloring games focus on the training of children's concentration and impulse control. The maze-walking game requires children to find an outlet in the intricate route, with a focus on cultivating children's concentration and spatiality.
The more difficult games are cracking passwords and finding words, password cracking games, requiring children to fill in the letters corresponding to different graphics one by one on the prescribed horizontal lines, focusing on cultivating children's concentration and reasoning ability. Finding words is to let children find the corresponding letters of words from the cluttered letters. These are suitable for slightly older children.
This set of three books, each with 125 professional games, helps parents solve the problem of children's lack of concentration and lack of self-control. This book is not large, the binding is exquisite, parents can carry it with them, make full use of fragmented time and play games with their babies
