The education of gifted children is one of the important contents of special education. After the reform and opening up, we also carried out some educational experiments on supernormal children based on the principle of cultivating talents quickly and well, and achieved considerable results. Family education for supernormal children must pay attention to the following points:
1. Cultivate children's good character
A good personality is very important to anyone. For supernormal children, due to their own advantages, they may become conceited and look down on their peers, which leads to their withdrawn personality.
Parents should understand that people are social people first, and they should associate and get along with others. Therefore, uniting with others and getting along well with each other is the foundation of a successful and happy life. In other words, being kind to others is the most basic way to be a man. Therefore, we must educate children to treat their talents correctly and let them use and play their talents happily.
2. Adhere to all-round development.
A child needs all-round development. No matter where he is gifted, he should learn the basic principles of being a man and basic cultural knowledge. Only when he has these conditions for all-round development can he achieve special development.
Don't neglect basic cultural knowledge and life education just because children have some talents. Some sports and literary "stars" are good counterexamples. They have some talents, but it is difficult to make great progress without the minimum cultural knowledge and moral level.
3. Accelerate the combination of education and general education.
Accelerating education is a basic method to educate gifted children. Compared with the education of ordinary children, accelerated education is one of the important means to solve the problem of abnormal children.
For example, if a child has finished learning the second grade in the first grade, he can skip to the third grade. This is a concrete way to accelerate education. But this kind of accelerated education is based on children's general education, and schools have to allow children to skip classes.
At present, China's extraordinary education system is not perfect, and this kind of accelerated education must be combined with family reality and school reality. Many parents educate their children in advance (their children are not necessarily exceptional children), for example, in kindergarten, they help their children learn the content of Grade One, and Grade One helps their children learn the content of Grade Two, while the children are still in class in Grade One and have not advanced placement. It is inappropriate for parents to do so, which will do a lot of harm.
There are two main points. Parents have no plans, and the counseling for their children is not necessarily scientific and accurate. Otherwise, they will cook raw food. At the same time, after learning, the child still sits in the classroom and listens to what he has learned. Is he studying, reviewing or doing nothing?
4. Deepen the combination of education and general education.
Deepening education is another way to educate gifted children. However, this deepening-deep and difficult-must be combined with general education, especially the cultivation of some special talents, which must be carried out simultaneously with general cultural knowledge education. Only in this way can children's talents have a solid foundation, and then bear rich fruits.
