Senior teachers tell you: These two habits are designed to prevent children from being distracted in class

Many mothers ask me, what should I do if my children are distracted in class? Is there any good way to cure it? A child\’s distraction in class is a form of inattention, which is affected by many factors, such as the child\’s personality, the habits he has developed, the child\’s physical condition, emotional state, and whether the child has had enough sleep, etc., which will all affect the child\’s attention. force. If we want to talk about an immediate and effective way to cure distractedness in class, then we will introduce these two good habits today: Raise your hands in class. During the summer vacation five years ago, my daughter Xiaoxi was about to become a primary school student. When the head teacher came to visit her home, the key points were: When I asked my child if she usually raised her hands, I said she was not very active in raising her hands. The teacher specially warned: You must develop a good habit of raising your hands! Raising hands can allow children to form a good interaction with teachers. Children can get more attention from teachers, become bolder, become more eloquent, and become more confident, etc. So, how does raising hands in class help prevent children from wandering off? If we require children to raise their hands, or if the child develops a good habit of raising hands in class, he must always follow the teacher\’s rhythm and listen attentively when listening to the class. He must first understand what the question asked by the teacher is, and then he must think quickly to determine whether he can answer the question, and then make a decision whether to raise his hand or not. If a child raises his hand, no matter whether he is called by the teacher to answer or not, he will definitely be emotionally nervous while waiting to be called. This can greatly alleviate the \”auditory fatigue\” caused by listening to the class. Let alone being called up to answer questions, the child can stay focused for most of the class. Taking notes in class Xiaoxi\’s study this semester is obviously much more intense than before. She has more homework at home than before, and the teacher is more strict about various study habits. At the beginning of the school year, the English teacher asked each child to prepare a notebook specifically for recording class notes. There was also an assignment last weekend: organize class notes and submit them to the teacher for review on Monday. The teacher said that it is very important to learn to take notes. We all know that taking class notes can record doubts and difficulties, content added by the teacher that is not in the textbook, the method of the teacher\’s summary, etc., to facilitate review and understanding. I believe everyone has heard the saying \”The lightest ink is worth the strongest memory\”. So, what role does taking notes play in preventing children from being distracted in class? During class, children receive information mainly through listening and seeing, that is, hearing and vision. Psychologists tell us that when children are learning, their nerves have an \”optimal excitement level\”, which is simply the level with the highest efficiency and best results. If a certain form of activity lasts for too long, people\’s nerve \”excitability level\” will decrease. For example, let the children listen to the teacher. If the teacher only speaks a few words, the children will definitely be able to listen attentively and remember what the teacher said, and their nervous excitement level will be the highest. If the teacher talks for a long time and contains too much content, it will become increasingly difficult for the child to concentrate, which means that the level of nervous excitement will decrease. Some teachers teach in a variety of ways, asking the children to read aloud, printing books on the blackboard, and letting the children copy.Now tell an example, now tell a joke, and now call the children to answer questions. The voice is cadenced, and the child may walk up and down the podium, or even among the children, with rich body movements and expressions. Reading aloud uses the child\’s mouth (vocal system), asking the child to copy means using his/her hands, telling jokes is to regulate the child\’s emotions and relax the child, and answering questions by name makes the child emotionally nervous. The cadence of the voice can avoid the child\’s auditory fatigue. The teacher\’s walking around can relieve children\’s visual fatigue. When such a teacher teaches, children generally listen more attentively and are less likely to be distracted. On the contrary, if the teacher\’s voice in class is very low and the teaching method is monotonous, the children will be much more likely to be distracted. As students and parents of students, we cannot choose teachers, nor can we guide teachers on how to teach. We can only educate our children and find ways to adjust the level of nervous excitement ourselves. Taking notes in class is a good way to do this. Through the hand movements of children when writing, they can regulate their nerves, relieve auditory fatigue, and allow children to keep their minds on the task of \”listening to lectures\” for a longer period of time. At the same time, because class time is tight, it is impossible for a child to record everything the teacher says. He must selectively record the content. Then he must process and analyze the information he heard in his brain, select difficult points, and judge whether It needs to be recorded and so on. This series of psychological activities will help prevent children from becoming distracted in class. Of course, if a young child is too slow to write and cannot take notes, you can let him circle the key points in the book, and the effect will be the same. Habits determine character! Character determines destiny! A child\’s study habits determine his academic performance. To prevent your child from being distracted in class, please start by raising your hands and taking notes in class!
