From the first to third grades of elementary school, habits are more important than learning, which directly affects his independent learning ability after higher grades.
The three aspects of concentration, time management ability, and independence are very important.
Let’s first talk about concentration.
Most children's concentration is interrupted by their parents. For example, when they are doing what they like to do since childhood, you will suddenly ask his baby to come over, drink a sip of water, eat an apple, etc. This is very undesirable. So this child will appear. When he is doing his homework, he will come out to go to the bathroom, eat something, and say that his mother is hugging him. He is no longer focused. When he just wrote a word, he said that the word was written too poorly and rewritten, and then you remind him to pay attention to the knowledge points.
Where does this get concentration? The bottom layer of concentration is that I can sit. Here, I can sit for 15 to 30 minutes, I can stay still, and my body can focus my brain.
The concentration of lower grade children is not good enough. If you destroy them, how can you concentrate? To cultivate concentration, you can find some things that will calm your child for him to do, such as Go, playing the piano, drawing, and reading.
In addition, clear out all the things that affect his distraction. When the child is doing his homework, he will remove all the things that affect his distraction. There can only be one pen and an eraser on the table, and the homework book can be done.
You must ensure that his learning environment is not disturbed by anything else. This is about cultivating concentration.
Let’s talk about time management.
Parents should train their children's time awareness so that their children can clearly know how much I can do in ten minutes and how much I can do in 20 minutes. For example, we want to tell the child that the time you watch an animation episode is five minutes, and the time you jump 200 ropes is two minutes. At this time, you can match the child’s familiar and specific things with time so that the child can feel that things are related to time.
Then we will use time management tools, such as Pomodoro, to specify the time it needs to be used for each assignment. We will use the tool alarm clock and watch to help children see more clearly, perceive the loss of time, and constantly remind themselves that if the child cannot form a sense of time, he will delay and procrastinate.
Finally, let’s cultivate independence.
is the first grade. Parents' gradually letting go attitude is to tell their children that you are a primary school student now, and your affairs must be done by you. Therefore, he must do the clothes he needs to wear before going to bed every day. Parents only need appropriate prompts. For example, you can write a memo list with him and post it to his desk in his room.
Parents need to pay attention to that it doesn’t matter if the child doesn’t do well at the beginning, and it doesn’t matter if he loses it. This is not important. The focus of the training at the beginning is not on the results, but on the behavior and actions.
