Primary school is the earliest stage for children to fully receive educational knowledge, and the character, habits and hobbies developed at this stage are the most important foundation for the whole learning career and even life. Obviously, it is unrealistic and irresponsible to just hand over children to teachers, and parents still play a vital role. In view of the increasingly heavy learning burden of primary education, it is inevitable that there will be the idea of exam-oriented education, and what parents can do is to neutralize and coordinate.
Determine your position. Under the double pressure of school leaders and teaching plans, primary school teachers have limited things to teach in class, and it is inevitable to leave homework after class, which is easy to cause the burden on parents, but this only involves how parents educate their children. Parents should educate their children on the balance between academic burden and children's growth. Details are as follows.
Primary school is the best stage of children's creativity development, but at present, rigid thinking is still serious in China's education. The most obvious example is collocation and combinatorial calculation in mathematics subjects. The mindset and habitual thinking caused by excessive practice are extremely harmful to the cultivation of creativity. The multiplication and division method of 100 assigned by the school teacher may be consolidated only by 10. At this time, parents need to stand on a balance point, and exercises to consolidate the content are needed, but only 10 is needed. This requires parents to negotiate with teachers from the standpoint of children, because children do not have the awareness and ability to negotiate with teachers, and teachers are not necessarily correct. This will not only ensure that children can study and train moderately, but also have spare time to cultivate hobbies.
For hobbies, it doesn't mean attending various cram schools. It is a fact that many skills are not burdened. But interest is the best teacher. Trying different hobbies can help children tap their talents and potential. But before that, you should ask your children's opinions, have a dialogue in a serious tone, and put your children on an equal footing with yourself, because children are chosen by rights. If the child is not sure, you can tell him some basic knowledge, such as the history and stories of musical instruments, to arouse his interest and let him make his own choices. If you are not sure, you can try them all and make a choice after a stage. In any case, respect the child's own wishes.
When a child makes an incomprehensible behavior, or the teacher complains to the parents, the parents must keep calm at this time, because when the teacher does this, the child's heart is extremely insecure. As a parent, you need to comfort him. No matter what the teacher says, we should have a serious and complete dialogue with the children alone and listen to their answers. For example, ask a child, "Baby, it's okay. Believe mom, you can tell me what happened, but you must be honest, and mom will believe you. " Give children a sense of security, and the dialogue with the teacher can't appear in front of them. Trust the children, because the children's perspective is often different from that of the teacher. Don't ignore a child's feelings just because he is young. You must love him before you can teach him the ability to love.
When the child looks extremely stubborn, such as the picture above. Don't criticize him blindly, which shows that he can use resources and is also a manifestation of the rapid development of science and technology. Everything has two sides. Suppose a student doesn't complain when using an abacus, there may be no calculator. So when your child is not as smart as other children, don't say, "Why can't you be as obedient as other children?" Because you say so, it means that you are pushing your child to mediocrity.
