Don't be too hasty Be sure to show it to the children every day. In this way, children will be more rebellious and more and more disgusted with English.
After reading the question, I feel that you want to use English cartoons as children's English enlightenment. That's a good idea. But we should also pay attention to ways and means.
First, focus on cultivating interest and don't force children.
Both children and adults are born with an aversion to compulsion. If children are allowed to watch English cartoons as a task, they may see English cartoons as a task and homework, without the happiness of watching cartoons. Therefore, when using this method to enlighten children's English, we must follow the children's wishes and don't force them.
Second, watch English cartoons with rewards.
Everyone likes to be praised, especially children. They will be very happy if their good behavior is rewarded. So if you want your children to love watching English cartoons, try to use it as a reward.
For example, if your baby behaves particularly well today, you can say, "Baby, you did a particularly good job today (the content of praise should also be made clear, instead of simply saying that you are great, which involves other aspects of your child's education, so you have a chance to elaborate), and you will be rewarded for watching 1/2 episodes of English cartoons!" In this way, children will feel that this is achieved through their excellent performance, which will be more cherished and easier to accept.
Third, choose the right content.
The cartoons for children, whether in English or Chinese, should choose the content suitable for the baby's age and specific situation, instead of watching whatever they turn to casually.
For example, younger children (2-3 years old) can watch less language and do more action cartoons. Like Penelope (Little Blue Koala), Maisy, Yakadi, etc. Each episode lasts 3-5 minutes, which won't hurt your baby's eyesight and can also do daily enlightenment.
If you are older or have a good foundation in English, you can read some rich languages, such as Charlie and Lola, Little Pink Pig, Ben&; Holly's small kingdom (Ban Ban and Lily's small kingdom) and Bourrouilh, etc. Each episode is 5- 10 minutes, and the content is also closely related to life, which is very attractive to children.
You can try the above method and see if it will improve. [yeah]
I feel that the subject is a very wise parent. Indeed, children's English enlightenment is closely related to the family environment, and watching English cartoons and English picture books is a very helpful way to combine children's audio and video and effectively sharpen their ears.
The reason why children don't do that now is also very clear. It is understandable that children who are more familiar with Chinese will definitely lose their attention and prefer to stay in the comfort zone when playing Chinese cartoons with their grandmothers.
So I think there are several keys to solving the problem:
1. Standardization of playing English cartoons
These include communication with grandma and more choices for parents. For example, you can set the playing material to make grandma's operation easier and more convenient. For example, you can make an appointment to remind grandma to play. For example, dad can be involved in communication with grandma. In short, the purpose is to get grandma involved in this matter and make the broadcast of English cartoons normal.
2. Comic book selection is more interesting
In addition to being more familiar with the above, there may be more interesting reasons why children choose Chinese cartoons. Then you might as well start with these cartoons, look for their English versions in turn, and slowly pull the children back. For example, domestic cartoons such as Super Flash are actually available in English.
On the other hand, from the interest of English cartoons, children can choose their favorite content according to their own interests, which can attract his attention.
3. Watching cartoons is ritualized
Watching cartoons is a matter for children, but it is also a good opportunity for parents to accompany them. Parents use actions to make their children feel the importance of something, which is also the importance of children. Slowly, children themselves will begin to pay attention to it and develop habits.
So, try to take this as a starting point and make it full of ritual. If children find it particularly interesting, they will not reject it, and even slowly return to their original favorite state.
Children don't like watching English cartoons. It is normal. At the age of three, a strong mother tongue has been formed. His reactions and thoughts are all carried out in his mother tongue. English needs to be changed once. If he doesn't understand, he naturally doesn't like watching and doesn't want to listen. Grandma's taking him to watch Chinese cartoons is only an inducement, but it is not the root cause. English enlightenment will not be in vain, so the subject need not be in such a hurry.
In order to guide children to accept English cartoons again, it is suggested that:
1. Evaluate children's English level and choose appropriate picture books and cartoons.
Put yourself in others' shoes. If you can't understand an animation from beginning to end, do you like watching it? But if you can understand 50-80%, will you feel better? The remaining 20% can learn and improve, and sometimes even feel suddenly enlightened. It turns out that this word is used in this way, and this word is what it means here.
Therefore, don't be eager for quick success and instant benefit, don't be greedy, and choose cartoons or picture books that are suitable for children or that he is really interested in.
We can use some reward mechanisms to encourage them appropriately.
Daughters can watch the electronic screen for 40 minutes every day, but after watching it, they can watch English movies or English cartoons and have 20 minutes to be alone. This is the method I used at that time, and watching TV for more than 20 minutes is quite tempting.
3. Giving children a language environment is more effective than cartoons.
In fact, caricature grinding ears is just one of the ways. If your English level is enough, you can try to talk to your children in English, or play some simple parent-child games with your children in English. For example, there is a game with an expression like guess what it is, which is very suitable.
Every child is an individual, balance his mind, fight monsters and upgrade, come on!
Why don't children like watching English cartoons?
English cartoons are good partners for children's English enlightenment, but many parents will find that children are unwilling to watch English cartoons. Mainly caused by the following aspects:
If children don't understand, they naturally won't be interested in English cartoons, or just want to watch the source with Chinese subtitles. Therefore, in the early stage of enlightenment, parents can help their children to quickly accumulate 300-500 listening words by singing English nursery rhymes and learning everyday language (that is, they can immediately understand the English meaning of words and translate them into Chinese), and then start to introduce cartoons of appropriate level.
When accumulating listening vocabulary, we can help children establish image understanding and help them remember according to the way of "nouns refer to things and verbs do actions".
There are many English animation resources. For children in the early stage of enlightenment, it is necessary to choose corresponding cartoons according to their vocabulary. Generally speaking, if more than 90% of the words in an animated film are familiar, it is suitable for children.
It is worth mentioning that many parents will choose Piggy Page as the cartoon in the early enlightenment, but according to statistics, Piggy Page has more than 3,000 words in the first season, which is probably difficult for children with insufficient vocabulary.
Preschool children are advised to start watching cartoons such as Big Stupid, Maisy, Little Blue Koala, Meg the Witch and Mog the Cat.
In order to have a good effect, English cartoons must ensure "understandable input", that is, most of the plots must be understood by children. Many parents may just let their children watch cartoons themselves, but they don't participate.
The correct way is for parents to understand the content of cartoons and explain the general plot to their children before watching them. Conditional parents can accompany them and help at any time. After reading it, remember to talk to your child about the plot, answer your child's questions, and role-play to ensure understandable input.
The child is so young that he can remember it only if his parents speak English to him, otherwise it will be of little use. It is better to teach him music and art than to watch English cartoons.
When children were young, they couldn't understand any language or any cartoons. When he grows up, he will not only look at the appearance, but also understand the content through language, and he doesn't know English. Of course, he doesn't want to watch English cartoons, let alone children and adults.
Besides, children are sensible. Seeing that the characters in the painting are different from those in reality, like monsters, timid and clever children are still afraid to look at foreigners. I have a neighbor's child who is very clever. He was scared when he saw the clouds in the sky. Why? The imagination is so rich that it seems that there are all kinds of monsters.
Congratulations on giving birth to a clever child! Want to attract him to watch western cartoons? Easy, watch more Journey to the West, get used to monsters, and love watching western cartoons.
Because the pronunciation of cartoons is the clearest and most exaggerated, suitable for practicing listening and imitating pronunciation, and insisting on learning based on interest, then the efficiency must be the highest. The way to learn English by watching animation is to let children understand, follow and imitate every line in the movie. Understanding should be complete understanding, not a word. Follow-up reading and imitation should be completely consistent with the original sound in rhythm, pronunciation and intonation As long as a movie has achieved this step, it can learn the next one. In elementary school, a child could recite thirty or fifty original American movies. English ability is basically passed, which can be used for life. I use this method to learn English for my family in Bao Xiao, and now I have made great progress. I also learn English with Bao Xiao through software that can fly and watch animation. This software is very professional and helps us a lot. You can also try.
Chinese is profound, civilized and rich in connotation. Children should be allowed to watch Chinese cartoons in early childhood.
First of all, the guidance must not be anxious. My experience is to sit on a small bench and laugh my head off ... slowly, the children will come over and want to know why you are so happy.
When appropriate, you can press the pause button, tell him the general plot first, and then watch the playback with your child. When your child gets your smile, in addition to laughing with him, remember to encourage him in time. Repeatedly, slowly.
Remember, the so-called guidance and training is the right companionship. Start (a disease)
