Interest is the driving force behind starting and doing something well. If you want to stimulate and cultivate your children's interest in learning, you parents must first learn about the "Interest Pyramid".
The first level: sensory interest
Sensory interest refers to the interest generated through the stimulation of the sensory system. For example, sweet ice cream, dazzling animation games. Sensory interest is like a curious little girl's attitude towards the world, curious, changeable and unstable. I often like this one second, and then I am attracted to another thing the next second. My attention is distracted and it is difficult to focus on one thing.
The second level: conscious interest
conscious interest is the interest in thinking participation. Compared with the emotional and unconsciousness of sensory interests, conscious interests create value for people. For example, when listening to music, conscious interest allows people to choose songs of different types and styles that they like. The biggest advantage of conscious interest is that through conscious interest, people can develop abilities, and abilities can lead to deeper interests. For example, because graffiti has become an interest in painting, and through a period of hard work, one can draw successful works and gain With everyone's recognition and appreciation, I became more interested in painting with this sense of achievement.
The third level: Zhiqu
The so-called zhiqu is an interest that can make a person persist throughout his life and enjoy it endlessly. For example, Edison , the greatest joy in life is to invent, so he can still enjoy it after more than 1,000 failures, and finally successfully discovered tungsten filament , the most suitable material for making filaments. For those who have found their passion, the meaningless failure seen by ordinary people is just a process of their exploration. People who are interested often have very clear direction goals and initiative. No matter how tempting the outside world is, they always know what they want to do.
So, if sensory interest explains why some people have a wide range of interests but cannot stick to anything, and conscious interest explains why some people can combine learning and playing well and stick to it, then ambition explains why some people People can stick to an interest for a lifetime and never tire of it.
How to stimulate and cultivate children's interest?
Create enough sensory stimulation for children
to allow them to immerse and experience, such as taking children to visit art exhibitions, appreciating picture albums, or taking children to enjoy various concerts, or watch various Original English cartoons, listening to various English songs... Then, before the sensory interest has subsided, master more knowledge as soon as possible to help children turn sensory interest into conscious interest. Deliberate practice is indispensable in this process.
Guide children to connect interests with their intrinsic values
Just like a joke said, "If you want me to move 50 pounds of cement, I may not be able to drag it, but if the bag contains 50 pounds of hundred-dollar bills, , I can carry it and run.” When parents combine their children’s interests with their intrinsic values, the child’s focus will no longer be the fatigue of perseverance, and he will do it proactively and spontaneously, because the doing itself can already provide benefits. He brings joy.
