Some people may say, isn't it just watching cartoons? Just find an English one on the Internet and play it for your children. Maybe most parents think so, and then find an animation to let the baby play with the mobile phone. Children watch cartoons carefully, and parents have fun with their mobile phones. This is a harmonious scene, but it is really a waste of resources. The only thing children get is color recognition and voice input, and they don't quite understand the meaning.
So what is the correct posture to watch English cartoons with children? How can we make the content of an animated cartoon for a few minutes make the baby remember deeply and apply what he has learned?
Dad told you, there are three steps: watching, empathizing and performing.
First, watch it with the children.
Do you think sitting with children watching cartoons is watching cartoons? Not if you're doing something else. Children have little life experience, so there are many seemingly simple contents in cartoons, and there may be many questions to ask them. Children will ask questions when they encounter something they don't understand.
What if the child asks questions? Of course I have to answer! But you didn't watch it with the children. What's the answer? Even if you watch it together, we may not know some knowledge and need to tell the children after learning. Therefore, it is the first step to watch the contents of cartoons with children seriously.
Secondly, put yourself in the other's shoes and put yourself into your emotions.
If you watch carefully, you will find that the children are absorbed in watching cartoons. When the characters in the cartoon are happy, the children will laugh, and when the plot is tense, the children will also show nervous expressions. If children behave like this, it means that they understand this part, or at least partially understand it. At this time, if the emotional atmosphere can be properly added, the child can be sure that what he understands is correct.
Third, perform after watching.
It can be said that this is the most critical step that parents may find. Children like to play repeatedly and watch each episode many times. Children have a super memory. In fact, after watching it two or three times, the story is already in their minds, but he wants to master it by repeating it.
Since all he needs is repetition, let's do it ourselves and reproduce the contents of comics in our lives. For example, Tuaner likes to jump into a mud pit like Piggy Peggy, so I spread a piece of cloth on the floor mat as a mud pit and said to her, "Look, a mud pit!" " "Then she would happily let me hold her hand and say" Jump ",and we would jump around in the mud together.
There is also a pig father who can't see anything clearly without glasses and becomes very anxious. I will deliberately put my glasses next to me and pretend I can't find them, and then say, "I can't see anything!" Where are my glasses? " At first, Tuaner would deliberately not give me glasses to watch my jokes, because I always "accidentally" knocked things over and she would laugh. Finally, when I show helplessness, she will pretend to suddenly find her glasses and say to me, "Here it is! Right here! " .
I found that by playing this part, she mastered vocabulary the fastest, because she is using it, and speaking more and using more is only the only way to learn a language.
Well, the above three words look rich in writing and the actual operation is very simple. All you have to do is stop playing with your mobile phone and spend time with your baby seriously to make English cartoons look good! Don't hesitate to spend 15 minutes with your child every day, which will have a positive impact on your child's life.
