Primary school is a critical period for the formation of personality and habits. Some children lack a sense of responsibility because of the influence of the environment. They only want speed, not quality, and are unwilling to start work. These bad habits not only affect life, but also directly affect study. This paper will provide parents with effective ways to correct their children's carelessness from two aspects: habit cultivation and learning methods.

Start with habit cultivation.

Starting with habit cultivation, enhance children's sense of responsibility. Parents can start with small things, such as letting their children tidy up their schoolbags, desks or participate in housework, and gradually cultivate their sense of responsibility. Let the children know that they should be responsible for their own affairs and finish them seriously. Parents should also learn to let go properly and avoid doing everything. Let children experience the meaning of labor, and feel the joy and sense of accomplishment of finishing one thing seriously. This way, children will not be perfunctory when facing problems.

Cultivate the habit of carefully examining questions

In learning, cultivate children's habit of carefully examining questions. Reading and examination are key links and cannot be omitted. In the process of reading questions, we should develop the habit of "pointing to reading" and "marking key information". Point to the topic with a pen and mark key information at the same time. This habit seems simple, but it can effectively help children input information to the brain. By extracting key information, they can quickly mobilize relevant knowledge to answer.

Cultivate flexible thinking

Stereotypes are also a problem. Faced with similar problems, children may feel that they are all of the same type, especially in calculation. Parents can cultivate their children's flexible thinking through diversified exercises. Let children learn to look at problems from different angles, thus improving their ability to solve problems.

Improve the degree of concentration

Lack of concentration is also one of the reasons for carelessness. When children are writing homework or exams, if they are absent-minded and concentrate on the topic, they will easily make mistakes. Parents can improve their children's concentration through proper rest and exercise. Let children stay focused when studying, without external interference.

Adjust emotional state

Emotional fluctuations can also affect children's performance. When the topic is simple, you will get carried away, and when you encounter a slightly more difficult topic, you will be agitated and easily lead to carelessness. Parents can cultivate their children's correct mentality by guiding them to look at success or failure correctly. Let children understand that success requires hard work and failure is part of success. In this way, children can remain calm in the face of problems and will not be careless because of emotional fluctuations.
