New first grade teacher: 5 key points and 4 taboos for parents to help children transition smoothly to junior high school

One week after the first child started school, the school held a parent-teacher meeting. The head teacher said frankly that when some children first enter junior high school, the transition only takes a week, and some even take a semester. The difference in time will definitely have an impact on learning. The teacher emphasized 5 key points and 4 taboos for parents to help children quickly and smoothly transition from elementary school to junior high school, and shared them with everyone. 015 Key Points 1. Keep an empty cup mentality. You cannot use the standards of elementary school to measure junior high school. Many children in elementary school have scores in the 90s and 100s. When entering junior high school, as the amount of knowledge and difficulty increases, the children’s scores will naturally not be so good. nice. At this time, both parents and children need to adjust their mentality. Regardless of their past academic performance, they are now standing at a new starting point. The glory or regret of the past has become history. What is important is how to grasp the present, maintain an empty cup mentality, and face the first grade of junior high school with a positive attitude. 2. Preview is a crucial step. Compared with primary school, the first-grade courses are more difficult and deeper. If children can preview before class and have a preliminary understanding of the content they are about to learn, they will be able to listen more attentively in class and better understand and absorb knowledge. Develop the habit of previewing. You can set aside a certain amount of time every day to let your children preview the next day\’s course. This is the first and crucial step in learning. 3. Efficiency in 40 minutes in class. Classroom is the main battlefield for learning. The efficiency of 40 minutes in class directly determines the learning effect of children. During class, you should pay full attention to the lecture, follow the teacher\’s ideas, and actively think and answer questions. Don\’t waste every minute in class, because after-class remediation often fails to achieve the results in class. 4. Don’t hold back if you have questions. During the learning process, it is normal to encounter questions that you do not understand. Encourage children not to hold back when they encounter problems they don’t understand, but to ask teachers or classmates for advice in a timely manner. Storing problems will not only affect subsequent learning, but also create frustration and weariness with learning. Asking questions is a manifestation of bravery and wisdom. Only by constantly asking questions can we continue to make progress. 5. Pay attention to recitation. Recitation is a basic skill in learning, which is especially important for children in the first grade of junior high school. Whether it is Chinese ancient poetry, classical Chinese, or English words and sentence patterns, the knowledge points of Primary Four require recitation to deepen memory and understanding. Supervise children to carry out regular recitation exercises and help them develop reasonable recitation plans. At the same time, children should also be encouraged to understand the content during the recitation process, so that they can understand what is happening and why. 02 Parents’ “4 taboos” 1. If you act too hastily, your child’s academic performance will change. This is a normal phenomenon. The head teacher said that in previous years, many parents came to him after every exam. Why were the primary school scores so good, but now they are only 70 or 80? He said that there is a big gap between junior high schools and primary schools. Parents should not be impatient. The correct approach is to discover problems in time and then remedy them in a targeted manner. 2. Give orders. Children aged twelve or thirteen begin to enter adolescence and have strong rebelliousness and independence. Don\’t use a commanding tone to ask your children to do various things, otherwise it will cause rebellion. For some issues that are not very principled, allow children to do what they want and give them a democratic and relaxed environment.environment and give children appropriate freedom. 3. Over-care. Every child is a unique seed, and every parent hopes that this seed can be outstanding and independent in the soil of survival. Therefore, there is no need to do everything by yourself like in primary school. Cultivate the child\’s ability to live alone. Treat the child as a little adult and let the child do as much as possible. Many children go to and from school by themselves and arrange their own after-school studies. Independence is a lesson that junior high school children must learn. 4. Ignore children\’s emotions and communicate with them about school in a timely manner, handle emotions well, and solve problems in a timely manner. You are not afraid that your children will tell you, but you are afraid that your children will not tell you. Children of this age have stronger self-esteem, are more likely to be emotional, listen patiently, and analyze and solve problems together. When children first enter junior high school, there will be some changes in their learning rhythm, living habits, and emotions. Pay active attention to help your children transition quickly to junior high school life.
