Many parents who know Weiqi hope that their children can also take Weiqi as an interest and develop a thinking habit of planning, knowing the overall situation and knowing the choice.
At work, parents often ask questions from all sides, among which three questions are the most frequently asked, and I want to talk about them in detail.
My child is 4 years old. Can I learn Go?
What should parents do if they don't know Go and have no time to practice?
Children like it now, I'm afraid it's a whim.
First of all, as long as you know the black and white colors, you can count from 1 to 10, and you can start to contact Go at the age of 4. Go doesn't need to read words like chess or chess. Usually, Go has no written information.
Because of the differences in understanding, memory and observation between 4-year-old children and 5-year-old children or children aged 6 and above, the teaching methods of Go for 4-year-old children are obviously different from those for children aged 6 and above.
4-year-old children are just beginning to have a sense of adventure and like to explore. This is also a sensitive period for children's language, so at this stage, stories are very attractive to them.
When teaching children around 4 years old, we will use stories as a carrier to guide children's attention and visualize the knowledge of Go with the familiar animated images. Therefore, images such as Pleasant Goat, Bear, Lingmeng, Ye and Nezha are frequent visitors in class.
At this time, stories will account for a large proportion in the teaching process. Children's observation ability will be trained by placing figures on chess pieces, and simple addition and subtraction will be carried out by using the game of counting gases in the whole teaching. Password practice after class requires children to read and recite after the teacher.
With the change of chess boy's age, the proportion of stories will gradually shorten, which really needs the introduction of stories, and it is also a story that is more biased towards history and operational logic. At this time, they are not required to repeat the password, but as a summary to help them better understand the knowledge points.
Therefore, you can learn at the age of 4, but as parents, you should choose an appropriate organization with a graded teaching system, so as to keep your children interested and curious.
If there is resistance at the first contact, the child will not want to contact Go again.
In the process of learning Go, listening to lectures, playing chess and doing exercises are indispensable to ensure the learning effect. Chess practice after class is very important, because actual combat practice allows us to use the knowledge points in class as soon as possible, which can be used to deal with opponents and thus master them.
Many parents who can't go are worried that they don't know if they will hold their children back. Actually, they don't have to worry too much. As far as the current Go teaching market is concerned, each chess institute has its own online teaching platform, which can perfectly solve the problem of after-school practice. Moreover, the mainstream children's chess platform system is perfect, covering all exercises, chess playing and re-playing, as well as a reward system suitable for children's psychology, which can form a closed loop with offline teaching.
It is more important for parents to let their children know that playing chess is their own business, and parents should do a good job of habit supervision, such as sitting posture and practice time.
When children come into contact with a new thing, they will be full of expectations for the next class because of curiosity and interest, or simply like the atmosphere and teachers in the classroom. The early stage is a period of high learning enthusiasm.
With the gradual progress of learning, there are more things to think about, including boring period and bottleneck period. At this time, children will lose interest, even refuse to play chess and don't want to attend classes.
There are several reasons why children's interest has faded:
First, the competitiveness of Go has begun to manifest itself, winning or losing is intuitive, and children are afraid of losing;
Second, the learning time is slow, and the content is biased towards the skills and calculations of Go, which makes children afraid of difficulties.
90% of children will encounter this problem, and the attitude of parents is particularly critical at this time. Parents and teachers work together to encourage children to encounter problems and solve them. If you persist and cross the bottleneck period, your child will usher in a new period of progress.
If the child's interest is average, but parents feel that the child needs to cultivate concentration, observation ability, logical thinking and calculation ability. As long as the children don't contradict the class, they can continue to study.
If children like Go very much and like to study in class, they can sign up for class first. Cultivate children's interest, adhere to parents, how to seize children's interest, just trust the teacher.
