As long as children in primary school can develop these three habits, it will be difficult for them to make progress in the new semester. When we were in elementary school, we basically didn’t have to sign up for cram schools during holidays, and we didn’t have much exposure to difficult things like Mathematical Olympiad, but I have always adhered to these three habits. Now there is less homework and fewer exams, but many parents are even more anxious. What are you worried about? Parents\’ biggest worry is that their children\’s grades will decline. Let me share some interesting data with you. In the 12 years of education, children need to master approximately 1.3 million knowledge points. If we take the distribution ratio of knowledge in the three stages of primary school, junior high school and high school as 1:3:30, you will find that the knowledge points learned in the six years of primary school are actually less than 3% of the total. A little surprised? Why is it designed this way? In fact, throughout the primary school stage, the focus is not on how many knowledge points the children can master, but on cultivating their learning abilities, learning habits, and learning interests. These are the keys to supporting children\’s continuous progress in middle school and high school, and grades, in the final analysis, are just the natural result of the process of cultivating these abilities. What are the three most critical aspects? First, reading ability. In the first and second grades, the difference in children\’s reading ability is not obvious, but in the third and fourth grades, the situation is different. At that time, the requirements for reading comprehension and composition will rise to a higher level, and application questions will begin to appear in mathematics, which will test the child\’s reading comprehension ability. Those children who read less may clearly feel lack of stamina in liberal arts and science subjects by this time. Therefore, we have to take advantage of the holidays when our children have plenty of time to study the Ministry of Education’s reading guidance catalog. This directory recommends many classic books, covering various fields such as literature, science, and art. These books can not only enrich children\’s knowledge, but also improve their understanding and thinking skills. We can work with our children to select some books that interest them, such as fairy tales, popular science books, classics, etc. Let children find pleasure in reading and develop their reading habits. Second, time management. Have you ever noticed that children can finish their homework in half an hour but take an hour to finish it? Or the homework that can be finished in the morning has to be put off until the evening. These problems are actually inseparable from time management. During the holidays, try the Pomodoro Technique with your kids. This method is simple and practical, allowing children to experience what it feels like to focus on work for 25 minutes. The Pomodoro Technique involves asking children to focus on working for 25 minutes, then rest for 5 minutes, and repeat in this cycle. You can prepare a timer for your child. When the timer sounds, the child should start focusing on homework. During these 25 minutes, try not to do anything unrelated to homework. Once the 25 minutes is up, you can rest for 5 minutes, drink water, and move around, and then continue studying for the next 25 minutes. The advantage of this method is that it helps children establish the concept of time and allows them to understand the importance of focusing on work and taking appropriate rest. Moreover, in this way, children canUse time more effectively and improve learning efficiency. Third, develop good study habits. These habits are basic skills in learning, such as how to preview and review scientifically, when to start using the wrong question book to sort out mistakes, and how to self-check after completing the homework. These are key points. If you help your children lay these foundations in elementary school, parents will be able to worry less when they reach middle school and high school. Because children have taken the initiative in learning and know how to arrange their own learning plans reasonably. First, science preview and review. Children must learn to have a general understanding of the content they are about to learn before class, and to consolidate and deepen the knowledge they have learned after class. In this way, they can better understand and absorb new knowledge in the classroom. Secondly, the wrong question book is a very practical tool. Starting from elementary school, we should develop the habit of sorting out wrong questions. By analyzing errors, children can better understand their own weaknesses and avoid repeating mistakes on similar problems. Finally, check your homework on your own. After children complete their homework, teach them how to check it themselves to ensure the accuracy of the homework. This not only improves the quality of homework, but also cultivates their sense of responsibility and carefulness.
