Entering China
In the blink of an eye, the lively and pleasant Spring Festival is coming to an end, and the winter vacation is more than halfway over, and many parents have to face such a problem: children are often in a relaxed state and in the process of having fun during the long vacation…… Now that the New Year is over, I can’t pull my child out of this life.
Here are a few tips for children, you may wish to give your child a process of adjusting the transition in advance, and help your child adjust to the new semester!
Tips to help children pay attention, parents should not solve problems through “simple and rude”, but pay attention to strategy. Specifically, pay attention to the following points:
Tell your child that learning must be hard, and that everyone is the same
The vast majority of children are unlikely to regard learning as a happy thing, and the achievement of excellent academic performance requires children to calm down and learn when others are playing games and watching movies.
Some children are more precocious and have their own lofty ambitions from an early age, so they have their own goals in the learning process and work hard for them; There are also children who don’t have ambitious goals, but at least have a short-term goal like getting into a good high school or university.
But in either case, they first have a goal, and in the process of achieving the goal, work hard, and this process is not happy.
Happiness is reflected in the results of learning, and the joy of learning will only be manifested when children achieve excellent results and hard work is rewarded. However, it is not excluded that a very small number of people with high IQs have extremely strong talents themselves and can achieve good results without too much effort, but this is just an example and is not within the scope of our discussion.
Finely adjust your biological clock
It is best to do homework two weeks before the start of school. During this time, don’t let your children schedule time-consuming and labor-intensive recreational activities, remind them to maintain their energy, gradually move from casual play to learning, and find good habits from school.
Q: What should I do if I don’t want to sleep at night or get up in the morning?
It’s easy to go from diligence to laziness, it’s hard to go from lazy to diligent, and it’s really addictive to sleep lazy! After the start of school, the time to get up is definitely much earlier than the holiday, and if the child still continues the routine during the holiday, he will definitely take a nap and lose energy during class.
However, it is certainly not realistic for children to make sudden adjustments.
Therefore, it is necessary to let the child implement the school routine 7-10 days before the start of school, go to bed early and get up early, take a nap at noon, and slowly adjust to a normal state. Once you start to adjust the routine of work and rest, you must implement it uncontrollably, and do not allow the child to be lazy under any excuse, otherwise there will be no effect. If your child is having trouble getting out of bed, playing soft music in the morning and gently opening the curtains can help your child get up early.
Step-by-step guided learning
Whether it is reviewing old knowledge or previewing new knowledge, investing in learning will lubricate the way forward, and it will be unimpeded after the start of school.
In this process, parents do not need to assign too many learning tasks to students, and on the basis of completing the winter vacation homework, they can bring the textbooks for the next semester for preview.
Q: What should I do if I play crazy with my friends every day and don’t read books at all?
Children need to be led by parents when reading books, and more parent-child reading activities can be carried out.
First of all, it is necessary to create an atmosphere of family reading, so that “the child finds the book he needs most at this moment”. Ask yourself: Is this book appropriate for your child at the moment? What books will I choose for my child at the moment?
Secondly, it is necessary to communicate appropriately and accompany, but do not rush. Children’s reading is a process of spiritual growth, don’t want children to finish reading a book, they can’t wait to ask: What did you read? What’s in it? You must know that some feelings that cannot be described temporarily may be the real gain, and it takes time to ruminate and digest.
Finally, parents need to understand that it takes a long time to develop a “happy” connection between children and books, so it is a good idea to talk to your child about the story of the author and the book regularly.
New semester, new plan
You can discuss your plans for the new semester with your child in advance.
During the conversation, parents can ask their children to summarize what they did well last year, what they plan to do this year, and what help they need to provide.
Parents can take some opportunities to intervene in these topics by taking advantage of some daily conversations, which can also achieve a psychological suggestion effect of “closing the heart”. Of course, parents should also pay attention to the principle of gradual progress in helping their children “close their hearts” after the holiday, otherwise they will not be able to achieve it quickly.
Parents should lead by example
If parents want their children to return to the normal learning track and no longer be loose, they should first lead by example. If parents themselves are still in a lax holiday life and have no regularity, it will have a certain impact on their children. If the family atmosphere returns to a regular state, it is easier for the child to “get into the role”.
Vegetables and fruits can regulate appetite
During the Spring Festival, it is inevitable to have more large meals, but due to the limited digestion and absorption capacity of children, they will not only have loss of appetite, but also indigestion. Experts suggest that children can reduce their snack intake, encourage children to eat more light vegetables and fruits, and choose pasta that is easier to digest as a staple food.
For children, the most difficult thing between the Chinese New Year and learning is psychology.
Due to the freedom of the Chinese New Year and the excitement of having fun, many children are afraid and resistant to going back to school. Parents should pay attention to their children’s psychological changes and make adjustments to their children in time.
By supervising the children’s work and rest according to the school schedule in advance, and gradually reducing the entertainment time such as watching TV and playing games, the children’s psychology is gradually detached from the state of “vacation”.
Parents should also urge their children to make full use of the second half of the winter vacation, arrange more learning-related activities, mobilize their enthusiasm for learning, let their children gradually shift their attention from play to learning, and take back their children’s hearts little by little.
