Today, I participated in my child’s online parent-teacher meeting. The teacher mainly talked about my child’s test scores this semester, summer homework and how to spend the summer. What makes me happy is that the child has made great progress. It further illustrates that learning is not just a matter of children and teachers, parents’ attention is more important.
My daughter is in the third grade. When she returned home from the final exam a few days ago, she quickly reported the exam situation to me. She told me which questions she was not sure were right or wrong. She also told me that she had carefully checked each subject after the exam. Several times. At that time, I confidently told me how many points I could get in each subject. This surprised me. Firstly, I took the initiative to do the examination. Secondly, I was able to know how I did in the exam. I felt that my child suddenly became enlightened. After the results came out today, it turned out that she had made a mistake on a math question that she was not sure about. She corrected it three times, corrected it once in the middle, and finally corrected it wrong. After a period of strict requirements and guidance, children's learning has really changed a lot. I think if we want to greatly improve the performance of children in primary school, we can try this method.
Cultivate children's habit of doing test questions. Many children do their homework as if they have completed a task. They finish the homework in a hurry and then ignore it. If a child's grades are average, he will make mistakes every time he does homework due to sloppiness. When I had time to accompany her, I asked her to take a few minutes to check her homework every time she finished it. She should at least read the homework word for word, and then make corrections. If there were mistakes, analyze the reasons for the mistakes. After a few times, the child will be able to find her own mistakes after checking, and she will also feel a sense of accomplishment, and gradually develop such a good habit. During this exam, she told me that she had checked each subject several times, so she could confidently tell me what score I could get.
You should always compare your child with classmates with good grades so that she can have goals and slowly build up her confidence. Before, I told her which classmate has always had good grades and she has to work hard to catch up with her classmate. She will say that she doesn't have the strength. I kept identifying target classmates for her. Occasionally, if she scored higher than her classmates, she would happily tell me, and I would praise her and ask her to continue working hard with me to achieve better results. Slowly, she also has a goal of her own, takes the initiative to study, and wants to surpass her classmates with good grades. Once she achieves her goal, she will become more and more confident.
Let her know that there is a gap between herself and others. What is the gap? Only when she knows her own gap can she mobilize her subjective initiative. Once, in a school math competition, her score was very low, while some students scored very high. Normally, the exams are all based on the content in the books, and the difference in scores is not big. I analyzed the question types for her, with 60 points for basic questions, 30 points for advanced questions, and 30 points for more difficult questions. It was obvious that there were some question types that she had never seen before and she couldn't solve them without special tutoring. When she saw that there was such a huge gap between herself and her classmates with high scores, she became very anxious and asked me to buy her materials and help her improve her grades. She herself said that she is now very interested in mathematics and wants to catch up with her classmates who have good grades.
Parents play a big role in their children's learning. They must take time to accompany and cultivate their children's interest in learning. Sometimes when tutoring homework, I would get angry and even get violent when I see sloppy writing, low-level mistakes, etc. However, she feels that she is constantly improving, and she likes me to tutor her more and more. Be sure to let her see her progress and stimulate her initiative in learning!
friends, are there any good ways to train children to learn? Let’s communicate together!
