Author: The main creative team Lei Lei
Learning is like a relay race, and the first month of school is the "first stick".
If the "first stick" runs well, it can make the child full of confidence and easily cope with the subsequent learning.
How to help children run well "first stick", these "pits" must not step on.
There is no planning, only grasping the immediate and not looking at the goal
Harvard University once conducted a follow-up survey of a group of young people with similar intelligence, education, environment and other conditions.
Among this group of young people, 27% have no goals, 60% have vague goals, 10% have short-term goals, and only 3% have clear and long-term goals.
After 25 years, almost all of the few people who have been working towards their goals have become successful people from all walks of life.
The 10% of people with short-term goals mostly live in the middle and upper classes of society.
Those 60% of people have become the waist force of society, and their lives are stable but they have not achieved much.
And those who have no goal can only struggle at the bottom of society.
The first month of school is when children are most motivated, every child has the opportunity to fight back, and it is important to make a plan for the new semester.
According to the child's results in each subject, set goals, how many points to improve in each subject, and how much to improve the class ranking.
According to the objectives, formulate specific implementation plans. Keeping a diary every day can improve your essay score. Prepare a book of mistakes and include exercises that are easy to make mistakes to avoid losing points repeatedly on the same mistake. Copy important knowledge points, formulas and typical topics into a notebook for easy reference. Accumulate 20 English words a day, and you can master 2000-3000 more words in one semester.
According to the plan, plan the schedule for study days and weekends. Scientists have found that the best times of the day for brain activity are: after waking up in the morning, 8:00-10:00, 18:00-20:00 and 1 hour before going to sleep. Scientific management of time, combination of work and rest, achievements can rise like "riding a rocket".
In the plan, it is necessary to leave time for maneuvering arrangements, and adjust the plan in time when unexpected things happen.
Can't get into the state, the class is distracted
At the beginning of school, many children are still immersed in the free wandering of the holiday, and people are sitting in the classroom, and their hearts have long flown to cloud nine.
Some children are anxious, impetuous, cranky, and have 45 minutes of class, not knowing how many "movies" are put in his head.
Some children, with their chins on their chins, looked at the blackboard blankly, did not listen to anything after a class, did not think about anything, patronized in a daze.
Wander for 1 minute in class, and explore for half a day after class.
The sooner you enter the learning state and seize the 45 minutes of efficient learning in class, the better your academic performance will be.
In the first month of school, help your child adjust his or her routine and ensure sleep. According to your schedule, make good use of the time after waking up in the morning and before going to bed.
If the child's lack of concentration in class is because he does not like a teacher, talk to the child more to help the child change his resistance to the teacher. Let children tell their parents the same content, experience the difficulty of imparting knowledge, and increase their understanding of teachers.
If the child is not interested in a certain subject, you can buy some simple teaching aids, such as globes, chemical experiment equipment, geometric thinking models, etc., so that children can enhance their interest in learning in the process of doing it themselves. You can also find some relevant documentaries to watch with your children on weekends and jump out of boring textbooks.
Calculate an account for the child and do not listen carefully to who suffered. To make up for the loss of the classroom, how much effort is required outside of the classroom.
There is no habit of prep and review
In class, when the teacher asks questions, there are always a few students who can actively interact with the teacher at the first time.
The teacher talked about the difficult points, and it was also the "spark" of thinking that the students used their brains and collided with the teacher.
Ask the students to solve the problem on the blackboard, or those students actively raise their hands and confidently walk up to the stage.
Why are those students always able to "dance" to the teacher's beat?
When reviewing the experience sharing of top students, the words preview and review always appear frequently.
Almost every excellent student has the habit of preparing and reviewing, without supervision, and has become a part of their student life.
The book "Persistence, a habit that can be formed" writes:
A new habit needs to go through 3 periods of resistance, instability and burnout, and the formation of a behavioral habit takes 1 month.
The first month of school is the perfect time to help your child develop a prep and review session.
Quickly browse the new textbook with your child, prepare a few blank pieces of paper, draw a mind map according to the table of contents, and understand the knowledge of the textbook.
Arrange half a day every weekend for chapter preview, clarify the level of knowledge according to large and small headings, and mark the key points, difficulties and doubts.
After completing homework every day, prepare for class and read the textbook carefully, including illustrations, footnotes, and the scope of application of formulas. Summarize and record what you don't understand.
Parents accompany their children to preview at the beginning, and insist on checking the preview results after forming a habit.
Review should grasp the word "timely", review what you have learned that day an hour before bedtime, and let your child repeat what he has learned.
Increase the frequency of review and combine timely review with repeated review.
The mind is still on the phone
If you want to rank the things that parents are worried about, mobile phones will definitely break into the top three.
During the holidays, it is impossible to resist the soft and hard bubble of children, and many families are free with mobile phones.
Playing games, scrolling videos, chatting, children are addicted to the world of mobile phones.
Even when school starts, many children's minds are still on their mobile phones, and they can't enter the learning state for a long time, and even secretly bring their mobile phones to school.
An American psychologist once selected 100 children from lower-middle-class families and conducted a follow-up study.
He divided the children into two groups, with 50 children not having access to mobile phones and 50 children obsessed with mobile phones.
After 10 years, only 2 out of 50 children addicted to mobile phones were admitted to college.
Almost all of the other 50 children who never played with their phones went to college, and 16 of them received full scholarships.
In the first month of the new semester, parents must control their children's mobile phones.
Parents lead by example by playing with their phones in front of their children as little as possible.
Accompany your children to walk outdoors on weekends, you can also go to museums, planetariums, science and technology museums, libraries and other places, so that children can have more contact with other things and avoid playing with mobile phones and watching TV at home.
According to the age and situation of the child, a reward and punishment system is set up.
Many children are accustomed to using mobile phones to check knowledge, but they do not know that this knowledge comes quickly and forgets quickly. Prepare reference books such as dictionaries, dictionaries, and encyclopedias for children, and encourage children to solve difficult problems encountered in learning by themselves by consulting reference books.
Many families, both adults and children, have the habit of sitting on the toilet and playing with their mobile phones. Try replacing your phone with books to create a "toilet culture."
Lack of emphasis on extracurricular reading
American sociologist Maria Evans once did a survey that collected data on more than 70,000 households around the world over a period of 20 years, and the results showed:
Children with 500 books in their families have an average of 3.2 years of education;
Children with reading habits are also 19% more likely to complete college;
Children read independently, and even if the level of education of parents varies greatly, the situation of children's education is not much different.
No matter how well the textbook is written, but the space is limited, the knowledge carried by the textbook is limited. Reading extracurricular books can help children break the limitations of knowledge, improve their own knowledge structure, and promote and supplement classroom knowledge.
Provide your child with healthy and enriching reading materials. The more information there is, the wider the child's knowledge and knowledge can be learned. For example, after learning the article "Mutton Fat Ball" in Chinese class, parents can buy "Maupassant's Short Story Collection" for their children for extended reading.
Encourage children to "move around": look with their eyes, think with their brains, copy by hand, and read aloud with their mouths.
Family members form a "reading alliance", and parents regularly share their reading experiences with their children and encourage their children to talk about their reading experiences.
Prepare a notepad and encourage children to copy down the essence of the content and refreshing cognitive knowledge, and read it at leisure, which will be a rich learning material.
Children have heavy academic pressure and limited reading time, so they can lock their reading scope in a specific area and obtain useful knowledge in the shortest time.
Poor concentration while doing homework
During the school season, children's lack of concentration on homework is a major concern for many parents.
Biting the barrel of a pen in a daze, playing with an eraser for half an hour, wanting to go to the toilet as soon as I write my homework, erasing and writing ...
The work that can be completed in an hour has to grind for three or four hours, and the accuracy rate is surprisingly low.
Sitting behind him to personally supervise the work, he instantly turned into a "bar spirit".
More important than academic performance is the cultivation of learning attitudes.
In the first month of the new semester, take the time and effort to cultivate children's concentration, and parents can save a lot of worry in future learning.
Urge your child to clean up the desk before writing homework, and throw aside small distracting objects such as erasers, rulers, and sharpeners, so that only books and workbooks are in sight.
Help children record the time spent on learning each day, accurate to the minute, and eliminate distracted and daze time. Although there are 24 hours a day, the time that can really be spent on studying is limited. Let the urgency of time stimulate the inner motivation of the child to learn.
Teach children to learn psychological cues, and say to themselves out loud before learning: "Such and such a subject, I will like you from now on." "The joy of such and such a discipline is waiting for me to discover."
One hour after waking up, let the child develop the habit of reading aloud, while mobilizing the mouth, eyes and ears, and using visual and auditory interaction to deepen understanding.
Give your child an alarm clock and complete the preset content within a limited time, suggesting to yourself: Be attentive and do one thing at a time.
There are no naturally excellent children, and behind the excellent children are the silent efforts and hard support of their parents.
As the well-known host Wang Fang said:
"To raise children, parents always have a way, and the way is to lead children through one difficulty after another."
