How to cultivate top students in primary schools

What is the direct reason for the performance difference between top students and poor students? In fact, it is the difference in learning methods and learning habits. Real academics have efficient study habits, such as previewing in advance, listening carefully, and sorting out wrong question papers. If you want your children to become academic leaders, you need to cultivate these habits in your children. So what exactly is a habit? How to cultivate children\’s habits? [Must-learn for 4~8 years old] Peking University Ba Primary School Mathematics Calculation Problem Course 82 Lessons MP4 Habits are unconscious behaviors. Children can preview before class, sort out wrong questions in time, and complete homework consciously. When he has these behaviors, We might say he has good habits. So aside from these specific examples, what is a habit itself? In fact, habits themselves are a series of unconscious behaviors. A habit is first of all a behavior. To develop a habit is actually to fix a certain behavior pattern of oneself; to say that someone has a good habit or a bad habit is to look at his behavior. Secondly, this behavior is unconscious. When you do it, you do it spontaneously without rising to the level of consciousness. You do not need to use your brain to deliberately control yourself to do it. For example, if we go to brush our teeth and wash our face after getting up in the morning, we don’t have to make a decision to brush our teeth, we will do it naturally. Another example is getting up early. Once you develop a habit, you will wake up naturally when the time comes, and you don’t even need an alarm clock. This is also a basis for us to judge whether a habit has been formed. When we do something and no longer need to deliberately control ourselves, it means that the habit has been basically formed. Habits do not consume our willpower. Many people think that those top academics have been studying well for more than ten years because they have strong willpower. This is actually a misunderstanding. But the formation of habits also requires a certain amount of perseverance. Because when forming a habit, it will be difficult at first. After persisting for a period of time, we will become accustomed to it. But if too much willpower is consumed, habits will not be formed. Three Things to Easily Develop Habits Is it difficult to develop habits? In fact, it is not that difficult. When cultivating habits, you cannot aim too high or rush for success. When cultivating habits, slow is fast and less is more. As long as you do these three things, it is easy to form a habit. The first thing is to start small, because this will not consume a lot of our willpower at the beginning. By setting small goals at the beginning, it will be easier for us to take action and stick to them. For example, if you want to develop a habit of exercising, you may want to run five kilometers a day or jump rope five hundred times. This is too difficult for a person who has no exercise habit and will definitely consume a lot of willpower. The same is true for children\’s study habits. If you want to cultivate a child\’s reading habit, you only need to let him pick up a book, even if he only reads one page or even one line a day. Start small, this is the starting point for habit formation. If you want to do this little thing for a long time, the second thing is to record it. The purpose of recording is to let yourself see how you are doing, which is giving yourself feedback. Then the third thing is positive feedback. If a person is willing to continue to do something, dopamine must be released in the process of doing it. This isOur brain’s reward system. Therefore, in the process of cultivating habits, it is important to receive positive feedback. This feedback can be some material rewards or spiritual encouragement. The habit of enjoying the process of learning does not require the consumption of willpower, and the same is true for study habits. Willpower will be consumed, and no one can do it by relying on willpower to study for more than ten years. Then top academics have been studying day by day for more than ten years, and some people can learn for life. How do they do it? In fact, a very important point is to enjoy the learning process. Learning is not anti-human. Learning a knowledge point that we didn’t know before and mastering a skill that we didn’t know before can bring us a strong sense of pleasure. Exams may be anti-human, but learning is not. Human beings are born with curiosity and desire to explore, and it is human nature to like to learn. As long as the child can continue to maintain this curiosity and desire to explore, he can learn things. But when exploring the unknown, curiosity may lead to danger. So in order to prevent their children from danger, some parents tell their children that this is not allowed and that is not allowed, and they may even deliberately scare them. Then when the child is disobedient, as long as he tries and explores, the feedback given by the parents is harm, punishment, and restriction. Then the child\’s curiosity is stifled little by little, and he begins to become afraid and unwilling to explore. So what should parents do? Parents should protect their children\’s curiosity and give them enough sense of security to dare to explore. Only when a child is willing to challenge the unknown can he overcome difficulties one after another and feel the joy of learning. What is the habit? Habits themselves are a series of unconscious behaviors. Developing a habit is actually a way of fixing our behavior. In the process of developing habits, slow is fast and less is more. In fact, it is not difficult to develop a habit. As long as you do these three things, it is very simple to form a habit. Start with small things first, give yourself timely feedback afterwards, and then have a reward mechanism so that we can persevere.
