The child is on winter vacation, and the parents take the initiative to stay in class for two hours!
When the winter break arrived, the children put down their school bags and had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
But for parents, winter vacation is a headache: how to arrange children's winter vacation life, how to balance children's learning and entertainment, how to cultivate children's interests and abilities, these are all difficult problems faced by parents.
This is especially difficult for families with two incomes.
Family education is an integral part of a child's upbringing, and parents are the first teachers and mentors in their children's lives.
The quality and effectiveness of family education have a direct impact on children's physical and mental development, academic performance and moral character.
With the changes in society and the diversification of families, family education is facing many new challenges and confusions.
How can dual-income families plan their children's growth and give them the most effective guidance? How to get a child addicted to games back on track after entering the first year of junior high school? How can I help my first grader adapt as quickly as possible?
Many parents don't know what to do, and some parents even lack confidence in their ability to educate their children at home and are worried about their children's future.
In order to help parents solve these problems and improve the level of family education, Gangcheng No. 1 Primary School decided to hold a special lecture on family education during the winter vacation"From the perspective of children's physical and mental development, home-school co-education"As the theme, we provide wonderful psychological counseling and educational guidance for parents. Pan Lan, an expert of the Hubei Provincial Adolescent Psychology Expert Database and Deputy Secretary-General of the Hubei Provincial Family Education Research Association, was invited to make a speech"Home-school co-education from the perspective of children's physical and mental development"The theme lectures provided wonderful psychological counseling and educational guidance for parents.
This special session on family education discussed the impact of family, school and community on children's spiritual world, updated parents' perceptions and led them to think about the impact of the Internet on parent-child relationships.
Combined with specific cases, Pan Lan clarified the responsibilities of parents and schools, and suggested that parents should continue to learn, enrich themselves, actively establish a family outlook in the new era, look at children's problems from multiple perspectives, follow the characteristics of children's psychological development, and promote children's growth.
This special session is closely related to this quarter's theme and centers on emerging issues in family education.
Pan Lan emphasized that with the development of society and the progress of science and technology, family education is also facing new situations and challenges.
The popularization and convenience of the Internet have brought new opportunities and resources to family education, as well as new risks and crises.
Parents should learn to use the Internet to provide more platforms for their children to learn and grow. At the same time, they also need to guard against the negative effects of the Internet, preventing children from becoming addicted to online games, social networks, etc., which affects physical and mental health and interpersonal communication.
Parents should also be aware that the Internet is not a substitute for the essence of family education, which is to establish and maintain the relationship between parents and children.
Parents should spend more time communicating with their children, understanding their ideas and needs, giving them adequate care and support, cultivating their self-confidence and self-reliance, and promoting their all-round development.
Pan Lan shared some real-life cases she encountered in her family counseling and education work, which allowed parents to see the shadow of themselves and their children, as well as the gaps and shortcomings between themselves and their children.
Some parents have high expectations for their children and put too much pressure on them, causing them to be anxious and resistant, and even to have extreme behaviors such as skipping school and self-harm.
Some parents pay too much attention to their children, interfere too much in their children's learning and life, deprive their children of autonomy and choice, resulting in children's lack of initiative and creativity, and even undesirable phenomena such as dependence and rebellion.
In response to these problems, Pamela put forward some reasonable suggestions and solutions, so that parents can realize their mistakes and shortcomings, and also find the direction and methods for improvement.
Pan Lan not only explained the principles and methods of family education with theories and cases, but also designed some interactive and practical links to allow parents to experience and feel the process and effect of family education.
He asked parents to debate in groups, share the difficulties and gains in home education, and communicate and learn from each other.
Parents participated in some small games to simulate the child's psychological state and behavior, understand and respect the child from the child's point of view, and improve the parent-child relationship.
Parents are also assigned some homework for them to complete with their children at home, so as to increase the interaction and communication between parents and children, and strengthen the effect of family education.
These interactive and practical lessons not only allow parents to hear about home education, but also allow them to put it into action in terms of home education, thus improving the effectiveness of home education.
Homeschooling is both an art and a science.
