Why are some children in the same class with a wide range of knowledge, while others only know classroom knowledge?
Have you ever thought about this problem? As parents, we all hope that our children are top students in the class, with good grades and broad knowledge.
Let’s share my son’s experience first. During the online class, the Chinese teacher would ask questions frequently in class, some of which read texts and words, some of which were grouping words and sentences, and some were knowledge outside the textbook.
For example, in " Song of the Tree ", there is a sentence "Ginkgo Metasequoia living fossils" , and the teacher asked, "What other living fossils do you know"? This question tests the children's accumulation of extracurricular knowledge. After calling several children, they all said "I don't know". When they called my son, he said "panda". He happened to see this kind of knowledge before and happened to be able to answer it. After
, I found that whenever the teacher asks questions about this type of extracurricular expansion, most of them will ask him, and therefore the child prefers to take Chinese classes.
stimulates children's intellectual potential. Parents should grasp a key point
In fact, it is not too difficult to make children broaden their knowledge. requires parents to understand a core key point, that is: to keep children strong curiosity.
Curiosity is a child's nature. From exploring the world with both hands and feet after birth, to biting and body attempts, it is a manifestation of children's curiosity about the world.
is like 6-12-month-stage baby , who likes to bite everywhere, like to pull drawers, open doors, like poke holes with your hands, etc.
Children who can maintain curiosity will always have all kinds of strange questions and ideas, because driven by curiosity, children will imagine, think, and find ways to figure it out.
For example, "Why do leaves turn yellow in autumn and some animals have to hibernate?" My son asked me such questions when he was a child. The first time he didn't answer, and then he would ask again when he remembered. Then I took him to compare various green leaves, yellow leaves, and red leaves. By reading picture books and cartoons, he understood the reason. The process of "finding"
is a good opportunity for to increase your knowledge and broaden your knowledge, and it is also a good way to help your children stimulate their intellectual potential.
3 methods to keep the child "strong curiosity"
strong curiosity is that the feeling that he can't eat, can't sleep, and itchy his heart before his questions are answered. Parents can try these three aspects.
First: Listen to children's problems patiently
For example, my son is in the second grade. Although he has mastered a certain amount of knowledge, he still has questions, and some are problems that adults think are very naive.
For example: Why can’t humans eat grass like animals? Can't ruminate like a sheep?
If you roll your eyes at this time, or you show impatientness, give him an answer to deal with it casually. For children who have already sprouted self-awareness, their self-esteem will be hurt.
More importantly, the child's curiosity is stifled by your impatient attitude. Even if you encounter something you don't understand or curious next time, you are unwilling to ask you.
The correct way to do it is: No matter what questions your child asks, no matter whether you are busy at that time, you should treat your child’s questions with patience.
Second: Less preaching, more demonstration
Although children may have mastered a certain amount of knowledge, their understanding ability is limited. Some knowledge points that are relatively abstract or difficult to understand are still difficult to understand.
At this time, parents can use to demonstrate the specific situation of to let children understand what is going on.
My son wants to join the Young Pioneers and wear a red scarf. He asked "Why don't foreign children join the team?"
In order to make him understand patriotism, he took him to watch Tiangong Classroom , watched several patriotic film and television dramas, and told his father some international news, so that he could feel the strength of his motherland. Such a real feeling is easier for children to understand than just talking about big truths, and it is not easy for children to get curious.
3 Third: Leave time for children to think
In fact, it is just to be a "lazy" parent. Some parents are very enthusiastic about their children's questions and can't wait to answer their children's questions, but in fact, children's curiosity also needs to grow.
If a child asks, you quickly throw the answer to him, and his thoughts will become "lazy", and his curiosity and self-thinking will gradually become less and less.
What is the correct way to do it?
When a child asks a question, you might as well guide the child to find the answers step by step. You can discuss with the child, try to let him think and explore on his own, and finally give the correct answer. This not only stimulates children's interest, cultivates their ability to think and explore, but also stimulates curiosity.
About Educating children and cultivating their learning ability is something that most parents are worried about. Finally, my mother in Beijing recommends a set of , Teacher Wei Shusheng, , teacher : "Good Students, Good Learning Methods" and "Good Parents, Good Tutors".
Teacher Wei is called "Contemporary Confucius ". He is an outstanding teacher in the country and has led the "school master" for many years.
The first book is A summary of the notes of the top scholar , a book written for children.
content includes how to stimulate children's interest in learning, how to hone their will, and manage their time, as well as learning, how to preview, listen to classes and review, how to train children's attention, memory, etc., which are all summary of experience and specific methods, which are very helpful to children.
The latter is a family education book written by for parents . Children need to learn to go to school, and parents also need to constantly learn and learn to use scientific methods to provide children with continuous psychological energy and become children with strong internal motivation.
As a parent, I benefited a lot from reading it. I didn’t understand many aspects before, and I got into a misunderstanding. After reading it, I suddenly realized it. I also recommend you to take a look.
at the end: Do your child like to study? Are you willing to do something that stimulates your child’s intellectual development? Welcome to share it!
