Recently, these days when I was at home, my child often stayed with me all day long, and we played various games. Sometimes when my grandfather wants to take my child out to play, the child directly says, "Grandpa, go away."
This persistence makes me a little happy to be favored.
But in fact, the children are clear.
When he is hungry, he will run to his grandfather and shout, "Grandpa, I want to drink milk powder." Because when we are not at home, it is the grandfather who solves the problem of filling his stomach.
These days, children suddenly started to ask some arithmetic questions: What is 3+7 equal? What is 21+53 equal?
When I was having dinner today, he asked me, what is 1+9 equal?
I said, think about what is 9 counting a 1 up?
He said, it is 10.
, right.
Then the child continued to ask, what is 2+8 equal?
I said, think about it.
The child casually said the wrong number.
I was chewing a bite of wonton in my mouth. It was so simple and easy to save trouble, so I said, it is equal to 10!
The child's father suddenly shouted, you can't tell the answer directly. You must not teach your children math in the future. I'll take care of it.
Then he continued to say that The most important thing for children to do in mathematics is to establish good mathematical thinking from the beginning. now directly says what the answer is? When children learn arithmetic, they need to use small wooden sticks, arithmetic sticks and other tools to ask them to count first. must achieve " number combination " . Thinking, thinking is the first step. Once your thinking is wrong, it will be difficult to break it up in the future.
I shut up again. After all, it seems that others say it makes sense.
In the afternoon, the child told me in my ear, Mom, I want to draw.
As usual, I took out the crayons and painting books from the height of the cabinet. Turning a page, it is a simple drawing of some fruits or small animals. There is also an example picture on the upper right, with the corresponding color on it.
Every time a child draws, I sit next to me and watch without interfering. Sometimes children paint the same color as examples, and sometimes they will paint other colors at will.
There have been a few times these days, and I found that his coloring is different from the example, for example, the goldfish is painted all blue. I will ask, Dalin, this goldfish is made of orange, are you using blue?
Children will say, Mom, I haven’t finished drawing yet, don’t read it first.
I won’t ask more questions, let him choose the color and finish painting, and let us enjoy it together.
After taking out the brush and the painting book today, the children began to draw on their own. He flipped over to a dinosaur, and the example picture was a green dinosaur. The child took out a purple crayon and started painting it, and it was finished in a short while.
The child excitedly picked up the drawn work and showed it to me, Mom, look, this is a dinosaur.
I took it and saw it, um, is it a dinosaur? Are you painting purple?
Yes, I painted it purple.
This gives the example green.
Well, I painted it in purple.

His father came over and "educated" me again. The example above is green. You can't let him draw casually, you have to stare at him to draw. If it is green, you have to paint it in green. How can you paint it in purple?
Drawing requires creative . Why do you have to follow the examples to give the colors? He can use the color he likes! I said.
is a rule-based one. What color should be? This also makes him familiar with the original color of things.
Drawing requires imagination. Does anyone know what color is the real dinosaur? That Mickey Mouse is wearing red clothes! I disagree with you.
You have to keep staring at the color of the example, and you will let it use whatever color. And if he painted the walls and tables everywhere, how could he not stare at them?
Then the child's father sat in front of the child, turned to a yellow butterfly red spot, took out a yellow crayon and handed it to the child.
The colors drawn by the child are the same as the examples in the next few pictures. The child is really much more honest, quiet and abides by the rules by his father. It’s not like being next to me, after finishing drawing a picture, I’m going to hand it to me excitedly, scream and laugh, and occasionally jump.

Old Chen said there at night, look, we both have different opinions on the education of this child, and there will be arguing in the future.
I completely agree with what he said, "I don't let me care about mathematics."
I have been poor in mathematics since I was a child, so I guess I don’t have the correct thinking. Things like you need to settle accounts, and so on are often slower. So sometimes when you think about being cut off afterwards, you can't blame others.
People with poor math usually have a good mentality and can only comfort themselves like this.
But for example, painting must be colored according to the example color, I cannot agree. On the one hand, I sometimes have some wild thinking and do not like rigid and restricted methods. The same is true for many choices in my life; in addition, art originally requires imagination and creativity, and examples are just for reference. The example is for goldfish. It looks orange visually, but there are black goldfish in reality!
I agree that children’s education requires rules, but do you have to follow the content given in the book? That would be too restrictive of thinking.
It seems that there will be many big battles in the future for children's education.
I suddenly had the urge to wear armor.
In any case, some people have already planned to take over their children's math enlightenment in person. Compared with the "widowed parenting" that many people face, I should think about the benefits first!
