Dora is the country's first growth secret of the internal beta user, a seven-and-a-half-year-old girl, love sports, love to make friends, love to play.
Dora's mother has always been a free-range way for her, and the mother and daughter in daily life are also very good friends, and Dora will call her mother "Dan Sister" very affectionately!
The following story comes from the self-statement of "Dan Jie":
01: Lucky encounter with the secret of growth
About the "first private beta user in the country", I am still very lucky! I was supposed to participate in an offline learning, and without knowing anything, I received an invitation from the company, became the first user to sign up for the internal test, became the first user to see the growth secret physical object, and finally became the first internal test user in the country!
The first time I saw the secret of growth, I had a feeling of "eye-catching" and did not hesitate to accept the 7-day internal test. The reason for this persistence is that when I first met the secret of growth, the staff mentioned two attractive points in the process of introducing, which impressed me very much: one was "the latest picture book and new every week"; the other was "screen comparison experiment". It is these two points that have captured my heart as a mother from both reading and vision protection!
02: No hesitation in making a decision
My family has always attached great importance to Dora's reading, plus later I did English reading myself, so usually we will buy books for Dora, but she generally does not take the initiative to read, but also for various reasons, such as lack of concentration, or our limited time and energy, we have not been able to develop a good reading habit.
I was always concerned about Dora's reading, until the secret of growing up appeared, and it unexpectedly changed. On the first day of getting her secrets, Dora read dozens of books in one sitting, immersed herself in them for more than two hours, and finally I gave her a break before she had to stop. In the end, when the internal test was over, when she wanted to return the growth secret, she was still quite reluctant, or I said that when the growth secret was listed, I would buy it for her, and she agreed to pay it back.
I thought that this growth secret was still very good, neither did I need to supervise, nor did I need me to read it to her, nor did she need to consciously insist, she herself was naturally attracted to the past. After the Dora experience on the same day, I liked it and said to the staff of the company: "Can you make us the first user!" I can't wait to buy it and wait for it to hit the market! “
Later, in the scene where I gave the growth secret to Dora, I also recorded a video as a souvenir, because this is also the happy moment when Dora officially got the growth secret!
In fact, whether it is recording a video or writing a gift to give blessings, it is an expectation of Dora, I hope that she will become what she should be through reading, have her own thinking ability, and live a freer and happier life in the future!
03: From story to science
I still remember the time when I first got the growth secret, Dora was really a little fan of the growth secret story hall, and she saw most of it in one breath. In fact, I have encountered this form of animated fictional picture books on some apps before, and there are some children around me watching, but because these apps are on mobile phones and are not closed environments, I have not shown Them to Dora.
However, the story hall of the secret of growth has both fictional picture books in the form of animation and a closed learning environment, so that not only children like it very much, but parents can also let their children watch it with confidence.
Later, I also learned through the study of "children's reading promoters" that this type of picture book belongs to the "fictional reading", and children will be more interested in these at this age. But what we parents need to pay attention to is that children also have a certain proportion of "non-fiction reading", and this is very important.
The Growth Secret Science Museum is full of non-fiction picture books, but Dora hardly reads them, so I gave her proper guidance at the beginning, such as helping her choose the books in the science museum at the beginning, and telling her that she could only share things in the science museum when she planted grass and punching cards.
Dora is also in the back of the punch card activities and reward mechanism, constantly punch card sharing, not only absorbed knowledge, but also gained a great sense of achievement, it is more willing to share, to see non-fiction picture books, slowly, also began to be interested in non-fiction things.
04: It's a change, but it's also a surprise
Looking back now, I don't know if it was the credit of the growth secret, but it is true that Dora has had these changes since the company of the growth secret:
From "buying books without reading" to "liking to read books". Before buying books, she basically did not read. Now not only the books on the secrets of growing up she would read herself, but even the paper books she loved to read more than before.
Reading speed has become faster. Recently, there are more than 100 books of the popular "treasure hunt" theme at home and abroad, of which more than sixty copies I bought for her, I have never read it before, but I have read them all in the recent semester!
Literacy accumulates rapidly. In the last six months to a year, Dora has learned more and more words, and the speed of literacy has increased by leaps and bounds.
Learned to distill and summarize on your own and share. On the intellectual level, I think she can use her brain more now, for example, I found that in the process of punching in and sharing videos, from relying on me to help her refine, to now summarizing and refining by herself. Also, the same thing, she'd think more fully now.
Constantly get to the basic survivability of facing the future. The Secret Science Museum of Growth is important for the future social survival of children. For example, which of the items that are often encountered in real life are "conductors"? What are the "insulators"? Dora also deliberately made a video to share... Dora inadvertently and in the sharing of these basic survival skills from the Science Museum, naturally.
Therefore, I think that the science museum where growth is secret is a powerful tool that I hope as a parent to give to my child and help her gain the ability to survive in society. And this, the importance of facing society with children in the future, is self-evident!
In addition to the changes in Dora, there are also some subtle changes in the parent-child relationship in my family:
Dora now reads something that feels exciting and will come up to me and share it with me, which was really unusual before!
For example, once, when she read the introduction of the eight planets in Xiao i, she rushed to say: "Mom, you see that there is also a yes in this!" "I think it should be a model of the eight planets in the science exploration camp before, plus in the growth secret also read and shared the eight planets, so when she comes into contact with the same thing again, she will have the confidence, feel familiar, have understood, more understanding, and then there will be a very happy, very novel, very proud positive mood, which invisibly let the child have a repeated memory, invisibly let the child share again, invisibly deepen the child's impression of strange knowledge, Invisibly expands the child's knowledge
What's more, when she encounters something very interesting, she will come to me and test me!
【 Dan Jie said 】
Sure enough, the growth secret did not live up to my insistence on it, it not only gave me the value of exceeding expectations, but also gave Dora an unexpected growth, but also gave my family a sense of happiness beyond expectations. On this point alone, I am still very grateful to the R & D team of Growth Secrets for being able to develop such a product that meets the urgent needs of children and parents in the spirit of educating people, while helping parents save a lot of energy, time and money, but also so that parents have a cognition and change in the direction of future education, so that our children can synchronize with the world's reading, so that international high-quality reading resources are within reach.
As a parent, through the mutual companionship of Dora and Growth Secrets, I can't help but wonder, what do we as parents really want to give to our children? Good grades? Outstanding in every way? ...... For me, I hope to give Dora the basic ability to survive in society in the future. So, what about you?
In fact, each child is different, need a thousand people to teach the way, need to teach according to their aptitude, maybe my experience may not be able to help other parents, but also hope to be able to have some benefits for everyone.
Editor's Note:
Listening to Sister Dan's self-report, I personally felt a mother's deep love for her child; after listening to Dora's story, an inexplicable sense of happiness surged into my heart
It is gratifying that like Dora, the growth secret is weaving the happiness of many children, and I hope that more children will grow up happily in the company of the growth secret, grow up slowly, take a firm step, and become a better self!
