Advice from a senior head teacher: Be sure to pay close attention in the first month of school! Don’t step on these “pits”

Learning is like a relay race, and the first month of school is the “first leg”. If the \”first shot\” is completed well, the child can be confident and cope with it easily in subsequent studies. How to help your children run the \”first leg\” well? Don\’t step on these \”pitfalls\”. Without a plan, just focus on the present without looking at the goal. Harvard University once conducted a follow-up survey on a group of young people with similar intelligence, education, environment and other conditions. Among this group of young people, 27% have no goals, 60% have vague goals, 10% have short-term goals, and only 3% have clear and long-term goals. 25 years later, almost all of the few people who have been working hard towards their goals have become successful people in all walks of life. Most of the 10% of people who have short-term goals live in the middle and upper classes of society. The 60% of people have become the backbone of society, living a stable life but with little achievement. People without goals can only struggle at the bottom of society. The first month of school is when children are most motivated. Every child has the opportunity to counterattack. It is important to make a plan for the new semester. 1. Based on the child\’s scores in each subject, set goals, how many points will the score of each subject be improved, and how much will the class ranking be improved. 2. Based on the goals, formulate specific implementation plans. Writing a diary every day can improve your composition scores. Prepare a mistake book and include exercises that are easy to make mistakes to avoid losing points for the same mistake repeatedly. Extract important knowledge points, formulas and typical questions into your notebook for easy reference during review. By accumulating 20 English words every day, you can master 2,000-3,000 more words in one semester. 3. Plan study day and weekend schedules according to the plan. Scientists have found that the best times of the day for brain activity are: after getting up in the morning, 8:00-10:00, 18:00-20:00, and 1 hour before going to bed. If you manage your time scientifically and combine work with rest, your performance will rise like a \”rocket\”. 4. Allow time for flexible arrangements in the plan. If unexpected events occur, the plan should be adjusted in a timely manner. Can\’t get into the mood, get distracted in class. School has just started, and many children are still immersed in the freedom and leisure of the holidays. When people sit in the classroom, their minds have already flown to the sky. Some children are anxious, impetuous, and have random thoughts. I don\’t know how many \”movies\” have been played in their heads for 45 minutes in class. Some children stared blankly at the blackboard with their chins clenched. After the class, they didn’t listen to anything, didn’t think about anything, and just stared in a daze. I was distracted for one minute in class and spent half a day trying to figure out my skills after class. The earlier you enter the learning state and seize the 45 minutes of efficient learning in class, the better your academic performance will be. 1. In the first month of school, help your children adjust their schedule and ensure sleep. According to the work and rest schedule, make good use of the time after getting up in the morning and before going to bed. 2. If your child’s lack of concentration in class is because he doesn’t like a certain teacher, talk to the child more and help the child change his resistance to the teacher. Let the children tell the same content to their parents, experience the difficulty of imparting knowledge, and increase their understanding of the teacher. 3. If your child is not interested in a certain subject, you can buy some simple teaching aids. For example, globes, chemical experiment equipment, geometric thinking models, etc., let children learn in their own wayIncrease your interest in learning by doing it yourself. You can also find some related documentaries and watch them with your children on weekends to get out of boring textbooks. 4. Calculate an account for your child and don’t listen carefully to who suffered the loss. How much effort is needed outside of class to make up for the loss in class. In a classroom where there is no habit of previewing or reviewing, when the teacher asks questions, there are always a few students who can actively interact with the teacher immediately. When the teacher talked about difficult points, it was those students who used their brains and collided with the teacher to create \”sparks\” of thinking. Ask the students to go to the blackboard to solve the problem. The same students raised their hands actively and stepped onto the podium confidently. Why are there always those few students who can \”dance\” to the teacher\’s beat? When looking at the experience sharing of academic masters, the two words preview and review always appear frequently. Almost every outstanding student has the habit of previewing and reviewing without supervision. It has become a part of their student life. The book \”Persistence, a Habit that Can Be Developed\” writes: A new habit needs to go through three periods of resistance, instability and burnout, and it takes one month to develop a behavioral habit. The first month of school is the best time to help children develop preview and review skills. 1. Browse the new textbook quickly with your children, prepare a few blank sheets of paper, draw a mind map based on the table of contents, and understand the knowledge context of the textbook. 2. Arrange half a day every weekend for chapter preview, clarify the knowledge level according to the big and small headings, and mark the key points, difficulties and doubt points. 3. After completing homework every day, prepare before class and read the textbook intensively, including illustrations, footnotes, the scope of application of formulas, etc., and summarize and record the areas you do not understand. 4. Parents accompany their children to preview at the beginning, and then continue to check the preview results after they develop the habit. 5. The word \”timely\” should be grasped when reviewing. Review what you have learned that day one hour before going to bed, and let your children repeat what they have learned. 6. Increase the frequency of review and combine timely review with repeated review. My thoughts are still on my mobile phone. If we were to rank the things that parents worry about, mobile phones would definitely be in the top three. During the holidays, many families are unable to bear the bullying of their children, so many families use their mobile phones freely. Playing games, watching videos, chatting, children are addicted to the world of mobile phones and cannot extricate themselves. Even though school has started, many children are still focused on their mobile phones, unable to enter the learning state, and even secretly bring their mobile phones to school. An American psychologist once selected 100 children from middle- and lower-class families and conducted a follow-up study. He divided the children into two groups, 50 children who had no access to mobile phones and 50 children who were obsessed with mobile phones. Ten years later, only 2 out of 50 children who were addicted to mobile phones were admitted to college. Almost all of the other 50 children who never played with mobile phones were admitted to college, and 16 of them received full scholarships. In the first month of the new semester, parents must control their children’s mobile phones. 1. Parents should lead by example and try to avoid playing with mobile phones in front of their children. 2. Go outdoors with your children on weekends, or go to museums, planetariums, science and technology museums, libraries, etc., so that your children can be exposed to other things and avoid playing with mobile phones and watching TV at home. 3. According to the age and situation of the child, setSet up a reward and punishment system. 4. Many children are accustomed to using mobile phones to look up knowledge, but they don’t know that the knowledge comes quickly and is forgotten quickly. Prepare reference books such as dictionaries, thesauruses, and encyclopedias for children, and encourage children to solve difficult problems encountered in learning by consulting the reference books. 5. Many families, whether adults or children, have the habit of sitting on the toilet and playing with their mobile phones. Try using books instead of mobile phones to create a \”toilet culture\”. Do not pay attention to extracurricular reading. American sociologist Maria Evans once conducted a survey and collected data from more than 70,000 families around the world for 20 years. The results showed that there are 500 children with book collections at home. , receive an average of 3.2 more years of education; children with a reading habit are 19% more likely to complete college; children read independently, even if their parents’ education levels are very different, the children’s education status is almost the same . No matter how well-written the textbooks are, their length is limited and the knowledge they carry is limited. Reading extracurricular books can help children break the limitations of knowledge, improve their own knowledge structure, and also promote and supplement classroom knowledge. 1. Provide children with healthy and rich reading materials. The more information there is, the broader the child\’s knowledge will be and the richer knowledge they can absorb. For example, after learning the article \”Ball of Suet\” in Chinese class, parents can buy the \”Collection of Maupassant\’s Short Stories\” for their children for extended reading. 2. Encourage children to \”do four things\”: use their eyes to see, use their brains to think, use their hands to excerpt, and use their mouths to read aloud. 3. Family members form a \”reading alliance\”. Parents regularly share their reading experiences with their children and encourage their children to talk about their reading insights. 4. Prepare a note pad, encourage children to extract the essential content and knowledge that refreshes their cognition, and read it at their leisure. This will be a rich source of learning materials. 5. Children are under heavy academic pressure and have limited reading time. Lock the reading scope in specific areas and acquire useful knowledge in the shortest possible time. Inability to Concentrate on Homework During the first semester of school, many parents have trouble concentrating on their children\’s homework. Biting the penholder in a daze, playing with an eraser for half an hour, wanting to go to the toilet as soon as I write my homework, erasing and writing… I have to spend three or four hours to complete the homework in one hour, and the accuracy rate is extremely low. . Sitting behind him and supervising the work personally, he instantly transformed into a \”gangster\”. More important than academic performance is the cultivation of learning attitude. In the first month of the new semester, spending time and energy cultivating children\’s concentration will save parents a lot of worry in future studies. 1. Supervise children to clean up their desks before doing homework, and throw aside erasers, rulers, pencil sharpeners and other small objects that can easily distract them, so that only books and homework books are in sight. 2. Help children record the time they spend studying every day, accurate to the minute, and eliminate time when they are distracted or in a daze. 3. Although there are 24 hours in a day, the time actually spent on learning is limited. Let the urgency of time inspire children\’s inner motivation to learn. 4. Teach children to learn psychological cues and say to themselves loudly before studying: \”Such and such subject, I will like you from now on\”, \”The fun of such and such subject\”Wait for me to discover.” 5. One hour after getting up, let the child develop the habit of reading aloud, while using the mouth, eyes, and ears to deepen understanding through the interaction of vision and hearing. 6. Prepare an alarm clock for the child. Complete the preset content within a limited time, suggesting to yourself: Concentrate and only do one thing at a time. As the famous host Wang Fang said: \”Parents always have a way to train their children. The way is to take their children to a place.\” Another difficulty. \”No child is born excellent. Behind the outstanding children are the silent efforts and hard support of their parents.
