There is a magical old lady next door to us, her girl's son's house is bought in a building, her son's family lives next door to us, the girl's family lives downstairs from us, the son's family has two children, one is in the fifth grade of primary school, the other is in the third grade, the girl's child is in the second grade, these three children are brought up by her, and their academic performance is very good, mainly because of their super concentration, and they are proper excellent students.
The magic of this old lady is that she does not have a high level of education, she has not graduated from primary school, and she can say that she can't read a few words, but she is such an illiterate grandmother, helping to take care of three babies, and only doing one thing in kindergarten.
What did this old lady do? It is to "play" with children.
What to "play"? Play with blocks, play with stickers.
Grandma bought a variety of building blocks for the child, let the child play at will, whatever style he wants, grandma does not play with the smartphone, has a lot of time to play with the child, patiently listen to the child explain the various shapes they pose, let the child imagine freely.
Grandma said that the neighbor's children in his hometown had no time to accompany him since he was a child, so he played stickers at home every day, and his academic performance was super good.
In fact, the old lady does not have much culture, but the method used is very right, especially letting the child play with stickers, which greatly helps the child improve his concentration and hands-on ability, which lays a good foundation for the child to go to school in the future.
The benefits of stickers for children
01. Stickers help children develop fine motor skills
Why do some children still not know how to button and tie their shoes when they are in elementary school? It's not because the child is stupid, but because he didn't focus on the child's fine motor training when he was a child.
The so-called fine motor not only includes tying shoelaces, buttoning buttons, wearing beads, picking up beans, etc., but also includes daily self-care behaviors such as eating, drinking, pouring water, washing one's face and feet, as well as learning actions such as writing and drawing.
Many children do not write well in the third or fourth grade of primary school, on the one hand, it may be that they do not focus on practicing words, and on the other hand, it is also because the fine motor training is not in place from an early age, resulting in poor ability to control the palm and fingers.
Stickers require children to align and align, so there are certain requirements for the child's fingertips to hold, pinch, point, point, and press the action, so let children play stickers from an early age, which helps to exercise children's fine motor training and finger flexibility, as well as increase the coordination ability of children's body, shoulder and arms, fingers, and also helps children to develop other motor abilities.
Parents with children will find a rule, many children learn to catch and roll the ball first, and then learn to play football, because the child's development law is to learn to control the upper body first, and then learn to control the lower body, so it is very important to exercise the coordination ability of the upper body when the child is young.
02. Stickers help children develop their concentration and hands-on ability
Why do top students have good concentration? Because attention is a mental activity process based on the active use of human consciousness, and if the active use of human consciousness can be concentrated, it will help children filter out useless and disordered information and help children devote themselves wholeheartedly to the learning they need.
Children with strong concentration can be said to be much better at thinking skills and speed at dealing with complex problems than others.
We all know that concentration needs to be cultivated, but few people know that the focus of training is the persistence of concentration.
The child is distracted in the process of playing stickers, he has to use his brain to think, to layout, to measure, to find, to correlate, in this process his brain is running rapidly, and long-term focus is very helpful to improve the child's concentration persistence, because the skills of concentration are universal, children can do single-mindedly when playing stickers, then they will be able to concentrate when learning.
03. Stickers improve children's cognitive ability
Sticker books often contain a small story, often give the child a scene, let him according to the content of the story, as well as the requirements and needs in the scene to find the corresponding sticker, and then complete the whole story, the child in the process of playing first to understand the content of the story, understand the function and role of the missing sticker items, and then find the sticker in the corresponding place, the story is complete.
This process improves the child's cognitive ability and enhances the amount of information stored by the child.
In addition, stickers also enhance children's comprehension, imagination, logical thinking, creativity, reaction, observation and other abilities.
How to choose the right sticker book for your child
First of all, it conforms to children's thinking.
Many times what adults think is very simple may become an insurmountable mountain in the eyes of children, and that is because adults' thinking is very mature, and children are still in the stage of thinking development.

Again, it is rich in content and covers a wide range.
