Edison is called "the king of invention", and his success comes from his keen interest. Curious about everything, there are always endless questions. Have you heard the story of "Edison incubating chickens"? In order to find out why chickens hatch, he squatted in the henhouse with a few eggs under his ass. Edison's behavior made his family laugh and cry. It was his strong interest that made Edison make outstanding achievements in the field of science.
For example, Watt invented the steam engine and Newton invented the law of universal gravitation because of the guidance of interests.
Parents should protect their children's hobbies, respect their choices, don't impose their wishes on their children, don't stifle their interest and lose their motivation to learn. We should protect children's interests, stimulate their exploration and creativity and give them a bright future!
You don't have to worry, you should be happy. First, because people are like this, fools will not focus on things they are not interested in. Second, because once people are interested in something, they will naturally focus on it. Only by focusing on one thing can we have internal motivation to explore. Of course, at a certain age, you should pay attention to guiding him (her) to take an interest in what you think is important. I guess that's why you are worried: you only know how to play, but you don't know how to learn English and recite Tang poems. As we all know, learning English by memorizing Tang poems is your interest, or something you think he should be interested in. In short, it is not something that children are interested in. Then the problem is clear: it is a good thing for children to be patient only with what they are interested in. What parents should do is to guide their children to establish the correct points of interest-of course, the points that parents think are correct.
In any case, as long as children focus on what they like, it is a happy thing.
Most children like to dabble in everything, and the result is a little taste, three minutes of heat, and once the interest is over, they will divert their attention. How rare it is for a child to find a favorite project and devote himself wholeheartedly.
Of course, maybe what children like is not what parents want their children to like. Parents want their children to do what they think is right according to their own wishes. This is the deviation of parents' understanding, because all kinds of things are high and low in your heart. In fact, after 360 lines, children like to do one thing, and it will be great to be the ultimate in the future. This writer's three-hour dream is different from others'. Others want to be scientists, writers, civil servants, teachers, etc. But what she wants to do is a sweeper. When others think that waste has become a treasure, her heart has been greatly satisfied. A child can concentrate on one thing, and he will surely take every step of his life in life and work in the future. When children find themselves focused, parents' appreciation and encouragement are the best gifts for them.
As mentioned in the title, children only pay attention to what they like, so it is very rare to have what they like. When he is interested, he likes studying, so he says, "Interest is the best teacher!" " "If you want to cultivate your child's concentration, you must start with cultivating your child's interest. Whatever your interest is, it's worth a try.
Having dealt with children for many years, I can tell you with my years of educational experience: this is normal! As long as it's not out of line and illegal, what are you worried about? And congratulations, your child has something he likes and is very dedicated. I'm afraid that some children don't care about anything, like nothing, have no hobbies and are not focused on anything. Such a child will do nothing in the future. Because the present society is very rational and affordable, when your child enters the society, the society will not care about what your child is not good at, but only care about what your child is good at, and will only pay for your child's strengths. All-round development means all-round mediocrity, and there is no place in the future.
What parents mean is that children don't study hard on subjects that they are not interested in, and they are worried that they will be biased in the future. This requires the guidance of parents and teachers. Let me give you an example. Wang Shengyang, who got full marks in mathematics in Shandong college entrance examination this year, studied in junior high school before, but he was interested in mathematics and was particularly focused. Because of his remarkable achievements in mathematics, his confidence in learning has also been established. Other subjects are also improving under the guidance of teachers and parents. Excellent results in college entrance examination, admitted to Peking University Institute of Mathematics.
Through this example, it can be shown that your advantage, the dominant discipline you focus on, is not a stumbling block to your inferior discipline, but a beacon to guide you to become an elite.
Don't stop children from focusing on their hobbies, but guide them to use their hobbies to make up for their shortcomings.
It is normal for children to be inattentive when they are young. Even ordinary adults can consciously keep active concentration for about 40 minutes, while children will keep active attention to something for less time.
Generally speaking, in a well-educated environment, the average time for children to concentrate is as follows:
If the child is not interested in what needs attention, this time will be shorter.
To improve children's concentration, we should start from two aspects: cultivating children's interest and training concentration duration.
First of all, it is of course impossible to cultivate interest in learning, but what kind of learning methods, learning environment and teaching mentality will greatly affect students' interest in learning content. Especially for children before grade 6, external feedback has a great influence on their learning motivation.
Using animation and other teaching methods is more likely to arouse children's interest;
Bright colors can also attract attention;
In McGee Ark's experience in children's education, if we can fully mobilize various means, carry out teaching suitable for children's cognitive ability, and give reasonable rewards and competition mechanisms, children's subjective initiative can be fully exerted, and gradually form a strong internal learning motivation after grade 6. On the contrary, it will deprive children of curiosity, make them unable to generate learning motivation, and the learning effect of being forced to concentrate is very poor.
After actively training the children with concentrated attention to learn, parents can also take some measures to better cultivate their attention and help them achieve better results.
First of all, the training period should be reasonably divided: parents should encourage their children to stick to 10 minutes or less according to the characteristics of their children's short concentration time, and then increase the length of concentration time after adaptation. Take a break between concentration.
Several family games to cultivate attention:
One person reads a number, another person remembers it, then repeats it or writes it out, and takes turns doing it.
Parents tell stories, and children count how many times the word "bird" appears in stories. One word at a time.
Parents read words, and children make an action when they hear a word. For example, raise your right hand when you hear school supplies, and jump when you hear animals.
Number sorting: Prepare some numbered tables written in sequence, and find out the numbers one by one in the order of 123456 to see who takes the shortest time in the competition.
There are also many games such as finding differences and walking mazes, which can cultivate children to concentrate on thinking for a period of time.
Interesting reasoning games are easier for children to accept:
With the kids? Experience life more.
Nanchong "Peking University Peiwen" kindergarten invested 40 million yuan, covering an area of 7,500 square meters, with a building area of 4,200 square meters and a green area of 3,000 square meters. Equipped with high-quality garden environment and sports space, it has a modern environment, an international educational concept and an artistic garden atmosphere. Take "respecting nature and teaching accurately" as the concept of running the park. With the goal of "respecting nature, displaying intelligence, showing individuality and cultivating sentiment", we will integrate international vision with China culture, so that children can freely explore this novel world, feel a wider space, promote their healthy growth in a pleasant and happy environment, and cultivate international and diversified modern citizens.
What can I do to cultivate my concentration?
Perhaps many people know a word: "destroying concentration", which means the negative influence of family atmosphere on children's concentration.
I believe many people, like me, have been labeled as "three-minute fever". In fact, we are not such people at all! ! Isn't it? We are also very committed! (Innocent face)
The question is, does every parent who asks their children to concentrate realize:
If you want to find children's interests, you need parents to have a kind of "Bole" thought.
The world is so big, take the children to see it!
Special reminder: every child has different interests. If children's interests are different from their parents' expectations, we might as well be tolerant and let go of our immediate concerns and gains and losses. After all, at present, our wish is that children can be more focused.
Tucao: Is it really not boring for children to rush to learn painting?
Only when children have a strong concentration on one thing can they begin to know what "skills" are, and then they can understand and apply skills to other things to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
For example, mini is a snack. When she was making cookies with me, she sifted sugar powder, peeled eggshells and squeezed cookies, all of which were devoted. This is of course the concentration! She was not attracted by the twittering birds outside the window sill, nor was she distracted by the TV series her grandmother watched. She didn't even hear the courier knocking at the door. !
A sudden loud noise, such as the sound of an electric drill upstairs, will stop the baby from sucking and distract the older baby who is reading a picture book.
Of course, the most distracting thing for families nowadays is electronic products. The visual impact brought by the oversized TV screen, the novel children's games in the ipad and the cartoons played on the mobile phone all make children feel dizzying.
Well, by the way! In fact, even adults can't resist this temptation! After all, the mobile phone has become a "plug-in organ" of modern people.
Hey, what are you thinking?
"I am very focused on watching mobile phones and playing computers. Is it an advantage? " Get rid of this idea quickly! After all, when people passively receive information, brain activity is completely different from active learning.
My friend Joy's mother did it extremely, just for reference:
In short, there are always some parents who "deliberately" interrupt what their children are doing. If you insinuate that it's not good, they won't take it seriously. "What's wrong with me telling him what to do?" "Can he do without water?" "The child is so small, I can't bear to let him play alone!"
Ga-ga!
How do you know that toys won't be more fun to play in another way?
What happens when a child is immersed in a picture book and drinks water later?
In smoldering weather, the grass is really dyed red! Parents are limited by themselves!
When parents get along with their children, they should not interfere excessively, but should pay attention to their real needs.
Dr. Wei, a professor of psychology in Peking University, once said: "If parents are strong and always teach their children, children will not be able to exercise their ability to eliminate interference."
Therefore, if there is nothing very important, parents had better not interrupt what their children are doing, but give them enough time to concentrate on it.
If children focus more on what they are interested in, they will lose their focus and linger on what they are not interested in. Therefore, how to cultivate children to "discover fun" is the most important task of early education classes. Nowadays, the so-called early education classes usually ignore children's interests, which is equivalent to negative education and is not desirable. I emphasize that outdoor observation and cognitive activities are to let children experience how to find interesting points in the face of things that have nothing to do with them, so they concentrate on their studies. This is also an effective way to change the habit of fooling around.
Parents should be happy with this phenomenon of children, and never interfere with this phenomenon of children. First, paying attention to things means that children have concentration. . Second, be interested in what you care about. Only by focusing on one thing can we have internal motivation to explore. Make achievements. When the child is older, it can guide him to become interested in other things. It is a good thing that children are only patient with what they are interested in. What parents should do is to guide their children to establish correct interests and not to interfere blindly.
