Our neighbor Grandma Dong is our downstairs neighbor. She is a retired old professor. Before she retired, she taught in a university near us. After retirement, she concentrated on taking care of her granddaughter at home.
Grandma Dong's son and daughter-in-law are busy at work, so the task of taking care of her granddaughter was handed over to Grandma Dong from about 1 year old.
Grandma Dong often takes Yang Yang to the community to play. The little girl is older than my second treasure 1 year. She often plays with my two treasures. She is smart and has a sweet mouth. She says hello to everyone, which is very likable.
I found that Yang Yang knew a lot. No matter what children play, she can only answer one, two or three questions, just like a "small encyclopedia".
After entering the first grade of primary school, Yang Yang was nicknamed "Little Encyclopedia" by his classmates and teachers because of his super concentration and wide knowledge. Even the teachers admire him, and students like to ask Yang Yang if they don't understand common sense.
Yang Yang not only gets good grades, but also likes reading very much. He has a wide range of knowledge, just like a "knowledgeable person" with a cheerful personality. Yang Yang also served as the monitor.
This makes many of our parents lament that Grandma Dong is a retired university teacher, so it is good to bring her granddaughter. At this time, Grandma Dong is very modest and willing to share her methods with us. I didn't expect her method to be very simple and easy to learn.
Whenever this happens, Grandma Dong will share some early education methods with us. From the age of 1, she will read picture books to her granddaughter. At the age of 2, she often lets her granddaughter play with stickers. From the age of 3, she will read her granddaughter some picture books that smart children understand.
Grandma Dong shared some of her experiences and opinions on doing this. I probably summarized her three main points and shared them with parents here.
First, it is very important to cultivate children's concentration, which will affect their future study. About 2 years old is a critical period to cultivate children's concentration.
Regarding how to cultivate children's concentration, Grandma Dong said that she had read many parenting books, and through the introduction of some parenting experts, she chose to let her granddaughter cultivate her concentration by playing sticker games.
So she chose to let her granddaughter play with stickers and let her granddaughter play with stickers for more than half an hour every day. By the age of three, the granddaughter's concentration is already very good, and she can concentrate on everything.
Second, children are most curious about 3 years old and like to ask "why" most. At this time, they should choose appropriate methods to satisfy their curiosity.
Those children who are eager to learn prefer to ask why. At this time, parents should encourage their children to ask more questions and read more picture books in this area to satisfy their curiosity and desire to explore.
Third, insisting on reading all kinds of educational encyclopedia picture books with children can satisfy children's knowledge needs and curiosity. In fact, behind every question mark, children have great ability. If we can give them timely and correct answers, they will have great wisdom.
Starting from the age of 3, reading educational encyclopedia picture books to children can not only inspire their wisdom, but also cultivate their scientific thinking, put wings on their future ideals and lay the foundation for their future study.
Having said that, Grandma Dong specially emphasized that in the face of children's problems, parents should never fool or pretend to understand, giving their children unscientific answers and misleading them.
The correct approach should be that when children ask questions, parents should not let them "wait" or not answer, but actively guide their children to actively learn and explore and give them a scientific answer.
To this end, Grandma Dong introduced us to a set of "Smart Children Know All About Puzzle Science Picture Books", which is also her favorite picture book for her granddaughter. Yang Yang learned a lot of encyclopedic knowledge from here.
Grandma Dong said that although there are many versions about answering children's "100,000 Why's", few can attract children to read and arouse their interest, and this one is her granddaughter Yang Yang's favorite among the many versions she bought.
When I went to Grandma Dong's house, I specially looked through this set of picture books. This set of picture books is a set of children's encyclopedia enlightenment picture books specially written by Beidou Children's Book for children aged 3-8, a set of 100.
The knowledge system in this picture book is very comprehensive, including 14 categories, and more than 600 children are interested in questions.
I have always believed that the best investment for children, besides companionship, is reading. I always like to buy books for children, and soon I bought Bauer this set of "Smart Children Know All About Puzzle Science Picture Books". Not surprisingly, Bauer likes it very much.
Since I bought this picture book, Bauer has been pestering me to accompany her to read after dinner at night. She has read it many times and memorized many questions. Now she is more and more good at observing and thinking, and her curiosity is getting heavier and heavier. Even her literacy has improved a lot unconsciously.
I found that the knowledge of this set of books is very comprehensive, including nature, geography, history, science, animals, plants, oceans, human body, life and the world.
A complete set of 100 books, series of answers to self-discipline and habits, wonderful world, scientific exploration, mystery of body, mysterious earth, marine life, birds, insects, mammals and other issues closely related to children's life and study.
Bauer is often teased by teachers and parents of several good friends, saying that she is a small encyclopedia and knows so much at an early age. In fact, I know all this is because Bauer loves to read this little encyclopedia picture book.
Because of their growing interest in reading, Bauer and Dabao are both bookworms, and the fields of books they like to read are becoming wider and wider. I believe that "my mind is full of poems and books", and I believe that reading books will enrich children's spiritual world and make their lives more emboldened, which makes me very gratified.
The most important thing is that by reading this set of encyclopedia popular science picture books, children's curiosity is not only satisfied, but also their scientific thinking is cultivated, and their 10 ability is cultivated imperceptibly.
These abilities include: cognitive ability, exploration ability, logical thinking ability, frustration tolerance, natural observation ability, and can stimulate children's curiosity, respect life, cherish life and become more confident.
The reason why this set of picture books attracts children to read is that the arrangement of books is more in line with the cognitive ability of children aged 3-8, and it contains more than 200 kinds of puzzle games, such as "painting", "looking for", "taking a look" and "turning around after reading", which is really entertaining.
After the children have finished reading, parents can also ask their children questions according to the 100 questions attached to the book, so as to make them feel more fulfilled and satisfied.
This set of books is specially designed for children aged 3-8. Considering children's reading characteristics, each book is designed to be light and easy to carry, with rich and soft colors, eye protection paper, environmental protection ink printing, and even rounded corners to protect the baby's safety in all directions.
This set of "Smart Children Know All About Puzzle Science Picture Books" has a total of 100 volumes, including more than 1400 beautiful illustrations, so that children can enhance their aesthetics in reading.
This set of picture books can not only satisfy children's curiosity and desire to explore, but also cultivate children's various abilities, which can not only make children embrace the future, but also lay a solid foundation for their future study.
If you also want to stimulate children's desire to explore and curiosity from an early age, let them become "little encyclopedias" that know about astronomy and geography, and become primary school bullies that make parents proud after school, you can try this set of picture books.
Full set of 100 copies, only one copy of * * * 98 yuan, each copy is only 0.98 yuan, which is really cost-effective.
For your convenience, I put the link of this set of books on it. Parents with children aged 3-8 can prepare a set for their children to try.
Children who have been familiar with encyclopedias since childhood have aroused their interest in learning by exploring reading, which makes them better at thinking and have stronger logical thinking ability. These are the potentials of Xueba, and they will be proper Xueba when they grow up.
