Although prodigies do exist in the world, and there have been many prodigies, such as Cao Chong and Gan Luo, at all times and in all countries, these people are still a minority, and most of them do not have that kind of talent. If students have no talent, parents had better not let their children go to school in advance.
A female fan wrote a private letter to the author about the problem of children going to school in advance. The daughter of this female fan is Xin Wei. Xin Wei is not old enough to go to school, but she likes to enroll her daughter in various early education classes. This fan thought that her daughter would learn better, but she didn't expect her children's academic performance to be unsatisfactory, even at the middle and lower reaches, so this fan wanted to ask the author what the reason was.
In fact, the author thinks that the problem may not be that the early education class is not well taught, but that the daughter is not old enough to go to school. After she went back to communicate with her daughter, she found that Xin Wei had a proud psychology, that is, she felt that she was a child prodigy who was better than her peers around her. This pride led to her not paying attention to the class and not forming a good habit of previewing and reviewing, so Xin Wei's academic performance naturally couldn't go up.
When Xin Wei really reaches the school age, her learning ability can't compare with others, and sometimes she can't even keep up with her learning progress. Therefore, the author suggests that parents should try not to let their children learn in advance. Unless the children themselves are really prodigies or even master the knowledge of senior grades, it is better for parents to let their children learn step by step.
If parents want their children to receive the education of "encouraging them to learn from others", children will easily become out of tune with the surrounding environment, and may even be unable to communicate with their classmates normally, resulting in a withdrawn personality. After all, going to school early means that children are much younger than their classmates around them, and it is difficult for them to have the same language. I think there are two main disadvantages in letting children go to school in advance.
The first drawback is that it may affect children's learning ability and study habits. It is better to cultivate children's learning ability than to let them accept the knowledge of senior grades. As long as he has mastered the correct method, he will get twice the result with half the effort in his later study.
Children go to school early, and if they can't keep up with the learning progress in the classroom, they will easily have doubts about themselves and even feel inferior. The further he goes, the harder it becomes to learn. Therefore, parents had better not do things like "throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds".
The second drawback is the law that may affect children's physical and mental development. At what age should children do? If they violate this law, they will be forced to make more efforts. But too young children have not yet established the correct three views. They may be bored with their studies and parents, and even have a negative state of being too arrogant and eager for success.
In fact, the better way to educate children is not to let them enter school too early, but to improve their study habits and abilities. Before going to school, we can improve their concentration and guide them correctly, otherwise it will be difficult for them to correct their hunger after they form a habit, which is more important than simply improving their grades.
Although pressure can make people have the motivation to grow, too much pressure will backfire. Instead of forcing children to study, parents should stimulate their children's interest in learning and let them take the initiative to study in the past.
If you want your child to learn actively, parents can start from the places where the child is interested, and even apply the methods in the game to learning. For example, in many games, there will be continuous sign-in and gift-giving activities, mainly to get users used to the game. Parents can learn from this method. Simply put, it is to set up a reward and punishment system. As long as the child completes the learning task and persists for a long time, parents will give rewards, otherwise, they will be punished.
It is worth noting that parents' rewards should be set to "limited use rights", such as watching TV 13 minutes and playing mobile phone for 6 minutes, so that children can know that these rewards are not his, but their parents', and he only has temporary use rights, which will make children more motivated to learn.
