The article first appeared on the official account of WeChat WeChat, "I grew up with my children".
Speaking of this little-known child prodigy-Wang Hengyi, many readers and friends may have known him before, because this is not his first time to participate in TV programs.
When he participated in CCTV's Challenge Impossible, his memory beyond his age and his ability to understand and use poetry in the program were shocking.
In fact, Wang Hengyi could know more than 3,000 words as early as 3 years old. Dong Qing thought, "This is completely beyond the level of adults."
Who taught you to know so many words and recite so many ancient poems? What is his growing environment and family background?
According to the previous TV interview, the child has lived with his grandparents in Qingdao, Shandong Province for a long time, and his parents are working in Shanghai. Children are not born in a scholarly family, just ordinary families. Both grandparents graduated from junior high school and both parents graduated from undergraduate courses.
We also know that grandma with low education level is the main force to cultivate child prodigies. How can I teach so many words?
According to grandma, when the child was about one year old, he began to enlighten the child with a literacy card with pictures, and then found that he was particularly interested in Chinese characters and had a good memory. Basically, he can teach it several times. When he takes it out, he will look at the signboard of the shop and ask if he doesn't understand it.
In addition, when telling a story to my grandson, I also asked my grandmother to point it out, because my grandson is particularly interested in Chinese characters. Grandma also sang simple children's songs, read stories, read three-character classics and other ancient poems to him almost every day.
With grandma's careful cultivation and subtle influence, Wang Hengyi was able to recite more than 500 or 600 ancient poems and get familiar with the national flags of more than 80 countries when he participated in the fifth season of the Chinese Poetry Conference.
Dong Qing said: "Whether in ancient times or today, learning and reading is a long road. He (Wang Hengyi) had a particularly good start. We also hope that this start will help him succeed in the future, so that his knowledge can really help him become a richer, broader, deeper and more interesting person and truly become a person who is useful to society and the country. "
The confidence and brilliance of Dong Qing, a talented woman, cannot be separated from the accumulation of Chinese studies in her childhood.
Wang Hengyi, a child prodigy, has been cultivated and excavated by his grandmother, and his little brain has been activated, and his life will surely move towards a broader avenue.
Wang Hengyi's success is not accidental, but the necessity of grandma's careful cultivation.
Because he reminds me of my English cultivation of Dabao Candy Bean, I exposed her to English, sang English songs and watched English cartoons from an early age to cultivate her interest. At the age of five, I also admire her English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Although there is no effort, it must be intentional.
It is undeniable that where the parents' hearts are, the children's abilities will point.
Don't think that children are too young to understand anything and don't need to be taught anything. In fact, there is a certain scientific basis for early education in fetus and infancy. Being good at discovering, giving children more necessary stimulation, cultivating and protecting his interest will have a multiplier effect on children's learning.
According to the research, every child has his own talent, but the potential of most infants is not developed and valued by their parents, and some functions of the brain will be permanently lost because of lack of necessary stimulation.
The training of talents is mostly in the initial stage, and it is not too early.
Although prodigies can't be copied, we can cultivate children by heart, let them form good study habits and keep their interest and curiosity in things.
