"I have a four-year-old son. When he didn't go to kindergarten, he signed up for some early education classes to help children develop their brains early. Now my son is in kindergarten and has enrolled his son in an interest class in martial arts calligraphy. But his son doesn't want to go now. Every time he takes it to class, he loses his temper and becomes very unhappy. Although I understand that my son is unwilling to attend classes, I feel that if my son has special skills, it will be beneficial to a good primary school, so I still force my children to attend interest classes. "

How to treat children's special education and whether children of this age should enroll in interest classes have become the doubts of many parents.

Miao, a special expert on children's psychology in Beijing Sunshine Yide, said that the so-called major should be based on children's interests first, so as to be "long". If children don't like it, they will be "short" because they are forced to go to school, which will lead to opposition with their parents and then develop into emotional and behavioral problems. It is not uncommon in my children's psychological work. Parents always look wronged: I am doing it for him! Don't lose at the starting line.

The characteristic of children's growth is to know the world from play, and then develop cognition and establish their own relationship with the world. At this age, children's specialty education depends on their hobbies and whether the specific educational methods are more in line with children's psychological characteristics: entertaining.

In the two interest classes chosen by Mrs. Xian for her children, calligraphy is not suitable for 4-year-old children, because it is difficult for 4-year-old children to learn to write too early, because it is too heavy to lift their wrists. Su Dongpo is a great calligrapher. He began to learn to write at the age of 8, and at the age of 4, he was more suitable for graffiti painting. He developed his understanding and imagination from the imagination of graffiti. Wushu depends on the specific training methods. Personally, I admire the training method of Taekwondo, which has distinct levels and clear progress, and also gives children corresponding advanced and rewards.

As for children of this age, should they enroll in interest classes? Miao Jinzhuo said that you can apply, but considering the age of the child, you can prefer interest classes that cultivate imagination and sports ability, such as painting, pottery, swimming and so on. There should be a limit on the number, two is appropriate, not more than three. If it is exceeded, both parents and children will be exhausted. Before applying, find out what the child's interests are and whether the teacher's specific teaching methods will be too rigid. I have seen parents enroll their children in eight interest classes, too many. Putting too much pressure on children will be counterproductive.
