Before the third grade, parents will become more and more worry-free if they pay close attention to these habits of their children.

We have almost all heard the saying \”There is not much difference between the first and second grades, but the differences begin in the third and fourth grades.\” Starting from the third grade, the gap in children\’s performance gradually widens. The reasons are nothing more than the following points. First, you have not found a learning method that suits you, or you have not developed good study habits and self-discipline. Second, as the subject content and difficulty increase, some children may not be able to adapt to this change quickly. Third, the influence of family education and environment. Some parents lack attention and support for their children, or their children may face other family problems that prevent them from focusing on their studies, affecting their performance. Fourth, the influence of social and emotional factors. If a child feels isolated in class, he or she may lose interest in learning, leading to a decline in grades. These factors make learning increasingly difficult for some children after third grade. In view of this, what habits should we pay close attention to in our children before third grade? 1. Independence, whether in life or study, parents must gradually cultivate their children\’s autonomy. If parents have to remind them every time they study, such children will definitely not learn well. Let them establish the idea that \”learning is their own business\” as early as possible. It ranges from doing homework and reviewing lessons to as small as packing school bags and preparing school supplies. Parents should not do everything. Second, a regular schedule can ensure that children have plenty of energy when studying, can listen and think more focused, and improve learning efficiency. We need to help our children set a reasonable schedule, take into account study, exercise, and entertainment, and ensure adequate sleep time every day. Third, reading ability becomes more important in later stages. Many children’s lack of stamina is actually due to poor reading comprehension. Start with the books your child likes, and continue reading with your child every day until you read independently. Before third grade, a child is considered successful if he can keep books as a companion. Fourth, students with better concentration scores have stronger concentration. If there is no concentration, children will easily become distracted in class. They will snap rubbers while doing homework and play with rulers. There is no certainty in learning. Such children are destined to learn poorly. We can exercise children\’s concentration through some interesting games, such as puzzles, mazes, and spotting differences, and we can also use Schulte squares for professional training. 5. Exercise Daily exercise can improve children\’s physical fitness. Only when you are in good health can you have more energy to study. Otherwise, if you have too much homework, your body will easily be overwhelmed and you will often get sick, which will delay your studies. Encourage children to participate in various competitive sports, such as basketball, football, etc., and cultivate children\’s willpower and resistance to frustration. Sixth, good interpersonal relationships teach children to interact well with others, such as learning to share, respect others, etc. Encourage children to have more contact with outstanding students, learn from their strengths, and they will gradually become outstanding. Seventh, cultivating one or two hobbies can make children\’s lives more colorful and keep them away from mobile phones. When you are under a lot of pressure to study, you can also use your hobbies to release your emotions instead of going to extremes. At the same time, hobbies can also improve their concentration and creativity.
