I've heard more than one parent's concern:
When my child was in elementary school, his grades in Xi school were quite good, and he always got high scores. But as soon as I entered junior high school, I felt that I couldn't keep up, and I had a lot of difficulty in learning, and I felt that people were slacking off a lot.It is the so-called "road remote knowledge horsepower". What kind of result the child finally gets has nothing to do with the beginning, the second half is the key.I am very worried that if this continues, when it comes to the tense sprint stage, the child will fall behind others by a large margin.
This is the same as long-distance running, at the beginning, everyone is in a hurry to sprint, but they may not be able to win, and the one who can persevere to the end is the real king.
Many children who are self-conscious and full of stamina in their Xi may not have a brilliant performance at first, but overtake in corners and leave others behind.
Looking closely at these children, it is not difficult to find that most of them come from the following three types of families.
Families who have a solid foundation for school Xi
Kai-Fu Lee, founder of Sinovation Works, once said:
In the process of learning Xi, laying a good foundation is the most important.When the child's foundation is solid, his IQ is in place, and he will learn things quickly.
Many times, we are affected by the concepts of "winning at the starting line" and "rushing" in society, and seeing that everyone has signed up for a variety of interest classes, we will also be in a hurry to apply, for fear of missing the child's first school Xi.
In fact, if the child is not particularly talented, you can not rush to rush ahead, do not over-elevate the child, and let the child learn the things in the course first.
If the foundation is not laid, it is difficult for other abilities such as memory, imagination, and logical thinking ability to develop well.
Thousands of high-rise buildings start from the ground, and only those most basic knowledge can be mastered solidly.
Then go for a high score, and it will be much easier.
Here are 4 ways to help children lay a solid foundation and improve their Xi efficiency.
01.Develop a Xi plan
Formulating a Xi plan is an important way to improve the efficiency of Xi.
First of all, it is necessary to clarify the goals and plans of the study Xi, including the content and time allocation of each subject, and reasonably allocate the time required for each subject according to the plan of the study Xi to ensure that each subject gets sufficient Xi time.
02.Establish good XiXi learning habits
Establishing good academic habits XiXi is the key to building a solid foundation.
Maintaining a good learning habit is not only in the XiXi Xi of learning, but also in life, regular work and rest and a healthy diet are also the basis of good Xi habits, secondly, we must ensure the stability of the time and content of the daily learning Xi, and constantly improve efficiency.
03.Choose the right learning method for Xi
Choosing the right Xi method is an important way to improve the efficiency of Xi.
There are thousands of ways to learn Xi, and there may be only a few suitable for your own children, so we need to understand our children's learning XiXi habits and learning Xi habits, and choose the right method for our children.
If there are a variety of options for learning Xi that suits you, then you must choose an efficient learning Xi method. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that the Xi learning method is different at each stage, and it is important to choose the method that suits your child according to different stages.
04.Strengthen the learning Xi of basic knowledge
Strengthening the Xi of basic knowledge is the key to laying a solid foundation.
For the content explained by the teacher in class, it is necessary to consolidate and review Xi in time to ensure the mastery of basic knowledge. In other words, after class, we must strengthen the practice of relevant knowledge Xi consolidate the content learned.
Families who develop self-Xi learning skills
Professor Kirby of the Department of Business Administration at Harvard Business School proposed:
Only by learning Xi can children truly improve their learning efficiency and become the masters of learning Xi Xi.Children who are not active in learning often have these manifestations: their grades in Xi Xi have plummeted, people are in a fugue Xi their studies, they are depressed when they talk about their Xi, and they are miserable when they talk about going to school.
Similarly, many children learn well and persevere when they first start learning Xi, but with the growth of grades and the deepening of knowledge points, children will inevitably encounter various difficulties.
Difficulties are not solved for a long time, coupled with the blow of poor grades, children cannot find the sense of accomplishment of learning Xi, and they are prone to anxiety and frustration, and then dislike Xi.
Learning Xi motivation, ability, and perseverance form a whole and open a virtuous circle, which is the inevitable condition for learning Xi have stamina.
The ability to learn Xi on our own is inextricably linked to the dopamine in our brains.
There are two areas in the brain that play a key role in the state of Xi, the striatum and the nucleus accumbens.
The striatum is an important structure of the motor and reward system and is divided into two parts: ventral and dorsal. The main structures of the ventral striatum are the nucleus accumbens and the olfactory tubercle.
Among them, the striatum plays a very important role in motivation, reward, it coordinates lower and higher movements, and it is closely related to our ability to inhibit undesirable behaviors in the process of social interaction.
The ventral striatum is involved in the reward process, and the striatum is able to be activated by something new, unexpected, and intense.
In this process, dopamine neurons in the ventral striatum release dopamine and transport the produced dopamine to the nucleus accumbens, which is then projected into the prefrontal lobe through the dorsal striatum, allowing the various brain regions of the brain to form a pathway.
When children receive feedback during Xi learning, the striatum and nucleus accumbens in the brain will be activated, and dopamine will affect the motivation to strengthen chemical Xi.
In general, when the volcanic striatum and nucleus accumbens are scientifically activated, children's intrinsic motivation to participate in learning Xi will be stronger, and their willingness to learn Xi will be higher, and they will be able to actively and efficiently learn Xi, effectively improving their learning Xi.
Time-conscious families
American children's education experts say:
Time management ability affects children's Xi efficiency, and Xi efficiency determines Xi academic performance.Children who know how to manage time can not only take the initiative to complete their homework, but also arrange their Xi time properly, and even manage time to cultivate hobbies and hobbies, and complete things efficiently.
Children who are not very good at time management will not be able to distinguish the priority of things, and they will have no beginning or end in doing things, and they will easily waste time without saying anything, and their self-control ability will be poor.
Over a long period of time, in this plus and one minus, the gap will naturally widen.
According to the law of growth, the Xi habits established in primary school will be clearly manifested in the second year of junior high school and later in school Xi life.
Step 1: Record your child's time
In order to manage time scientifically and reasonably, we must first know how the child's time is used, and we can use a 24-day schedule to record what the child has done in different periods of the day.
This record needs to be recorded immediately at the moment when the event is going on, and cannot be supplemented by memory after the fact. It can be recorded with pen and paper, excel sheets, or an app that records time.
If you keep a record of your time, you will be able to know exactly what your child is doing.
Step 2: Assign a priority level
Assign a priority to the task or assignment at hand, ask your child to rank the importance of the task, and then complete the task according to that priority.
When making a Xi plan, help your child learn to prioritize appropriately.
We need to teach children to distinguish between important and urgent tasks, and to focus on tasks that can be completed in a limited way, and here we can use the four-quadrant management method to help children distinguish between them.
When children can distinguish the priority of things, they will be able to reasonably arrange their Xi time and spare time to love you, and the effect of learning Xi will be improved.
Step 3: Provide appropriate feedback and incentives
When a child is able to stick to a task, it is also important to reward them appropriately.
If your child is able to complete the task on time according to the schedule, we need to give them positive feedback.
It can be a small gift that children dream of, or it can be time to go out to play, or a delicious meal, so that children can feel the support and encouragement of their parents, and for children they can feel the value of their own efforts, so as to further stimulate their motivation to persevere.
