Before enrolling your child in a hobby class, you must understand these things

After you have a child, should you enroll him in a hobby class? What to study? When to learn? What should I do if my child wants to give up? These are probably questions that all parents need to face. It just so happened that I was also considering letting Rooney learn an instrument recently, so I checked a lot of information, plus some previous experience in enrolling in classes, so I summarized it and shared it with you. Do you want to sign up for a hobby class? Jack Ma said at the recent Big Data Summit in Guizhou: If we don’t let children play, experience, and try piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, I can guarantee that in thirty years, children will not be able to find jobs! Indeed, in the future society, most of human jobs can be replaced by robots. The key to the competition between humans and machines lies in wisdom and experience. If our children only learn knowledge by rote, they will definitely be eliminated in the future! Learning musical arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is an important way for children to increase their life experience and improve their wisdom. Just look at our college entrance examination top scorers in recent years and you will know. Which one is not versatile? Moreover, this year the Ministry of Education recently announced that art and music will be included in the examination and will be officially implemented in the autumn semester. As a friend said, for children of our generation, music, chess, calligraphy and painting have become their standard equipment. If they don’t understand any art, they will be “different”. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about whether to attend interest classes. The answer is, if conditions permit, you must attend! Ma Yun’s speech video Let children fully experience chaos theory. It is believed that if children are given enough information stimulation at the right age, if the child has a certain type of talent, then he will lay the foundation. When children grow to a certain age, such advantages will be highlighted. Sufficient information stimulation can be obtained through children\’s play and experience. Part of it comes from family, such as taking children to knead dough in the kitchen, growing fruits and vegetables on the balcony, and building blocks in the living room; part of it comes from nature, such as taking children to catch fish in the river, pick up fallen leaves in the mountains, and go to the beach. Playing with water and sand; some also come from existing art works, such as taking children to listen to concerts, watch plays, see art exhibitions, read picture books, etc. Xi Murong once said that if a child has never been in contact with nature in his life, such as touching tree bark or stepping on fallen leaves, she cannot teach him art because he has not had first-hand exposure to beauty. Long Yingtai also said that it is better to let children walk in nature for a day than to teach them a hundred hours of aesthetics lessons; it is better to let children touch a few ancient cities than to teach them one hundred hours of architectural design; to teach literature a hundred times The skill of writing is not as good as letting the writer get his pants dirty in the market. It can be said that play is the foundation of all knowledge in the world. Therefore, before enrolling your child in any interest class, take him to play and fully experience it. After discovering the child\’s talent and enrolling the child in an interest class, the first step must be that the child is interested. However, because the child is very curious, he may like everything, and our energy is limited, so it is impossible to enroll in everything, so what should we do? I think that the child’s interests must be considered, but in addition, the child’s talent cannot be ignored. If you only have interest and no talent, you must persist in learning an interestIt is very difficult to get used to it. Like in the movie \”Dangal, Dad\”, it was when the daughters were fighting with the boys that the father discovered his daughters\’ wrestling talent, and he decided to train his daughters to become wrestling champions. Facts have proved that his decision How correct. But most children’s talents are not that obvious. How can we discover children’s talents in daily life? We can compare it with the research test chart of Dr. Robert Sternberg of Yale University in the United States to see what potential abilities our children have: If a child performs outstandingly in items 1, 8, and 17, it means that he may have good language talent. For children with language skills, parents should often ask him to describe some objects, an event, a natural phenomenon, etc., and often provide him with books in this field. If a child performs well in items 6, 12, and 18, it means he may have good musical talent. This type of child pays special attention to listening to regular sounds when he is very young (2 or 3 years old). As long as there is music, he will listen with his eyes wide open and concentrate. No child of 20 years old can compare. This shows that he has great potential in music. If a child performs well in items 3, 7, and 15, it means that he may be talented in mathematics and logic. He likes to play checkers and chess, and can quickly understand some equivalence relationships. If you give him some toys that are completely confusing, he will sort them into categories. For this kind of child, his math performance may not be ideal after school (this may be due to his inability to adapt to the language of the course, or his attention is too easily distracted), but his potential in this area should not be doubted. If a child performs well in items 4, 11, and 13, it means that he has good spatial talents. He has a rich imagination and has a strong interest in painting and mechanical assembly. You should take him to travel more often and let him play map drawing games from an early age. If a child performs well in items 5, 9, and 14, it means that he has good physical and kinesthetic abilities. Often athletes and dancers have a talent for this. If a child performs well in items 10, 16, and 20, it means that he has good self-understanding. Usually the playwright or director will have this talent. If a child performs outstandingly in items 2, 10, and 19, it means that he has a good understanding of other people\’s talents. Such children often make involuntary judgments and introspections about themselves and others, and have the potential to interact, communicate, and organize with others. At what age should you enroll in which class? Once you discover your child’s interests and talents, can you enroll your child in a class right away? of course not. There is an optimal age for formal learning in most interests. If children are forced to learn step by step when their physical and mental development has not reached a certain stage, it will be harmful to the child. Regarding the question of what age can be learned, here is a reference for us: painting can be enlightened between 3 and 5 years old, allowing children to use their imagination to graffiti, but it is not appropriate to teach too many techniques, let alone learn simple drawings. Japanese painter Akimi Torii’s suggestion is that children should not start systematic painting learning until they are 9 years old. Dance to avoid injuryIt is harmful to bones and muscles. Before the age of 3, try to avoid children participating in dance, taekwondo and other training classes. After the age of 3, children can exercise their dance coordination in different environments. Just play music and dance at will. After the age of 4-5, you can start learning dance in the primary stage, but it is not necessary to practice targeted basic dance skills, just cultivate your child\’s interest in dance. It is generally believed that girls can start learning piano at the age of 4-5 and boys at the age of 5-6. But it still depends on the child\’s own situation. Such as hand bone development, physical development, discrimination ability, intelligence, hearing and other comprehensive conditions. The mainstream theory of guzheng is that enlightenment begins at the age of five, and the best results are achieved at the age of ten. Swimming Children under 1 year old: You can play in the water with your parents, but you will not receive any form of swimming lessons because it will not help the child’s safety. 1 to 3 years old: Parents can analyze their own circumstances and consider learning to swim, which can reduce the risk of accidental drowning in their children to a certain extent. Over 4 years old: You can start learning to swim. Especially after the age of 5, children\’s physical development is more mature and they can learn to swim faster. Roller skating is more likely for children over 5 years old because they have poor self-control and are more likely to be in danger. In addition, the bone development and coordination skills are insufficient, making it difficult to learn and easy to cause damage to the bones. It should also be noted that not all children are suitable for roller skating. Children with congenital inner skating who are prone to falling are not suitable for learning. English is the best age for bilingual education at any time. When the violinist is 5-6 years old and has good bone development and has basic language expression and understanding abilities, it is more appropriate to learn the violin. It is better to start calligraphy around the age of 6. This time is mainly for preparation work. The optimal age is around 7 years old, which is easier for children to master. Of course, it can be adjusted appropriately according to the child\’s personal situation. It is generally believed that the best time for children to learn Go and chess is between the ages of 5 and 6. Children of this age can generally distinguish between black and white chess pieces, the words on the chess pieces, and can follow simple rules. As long as your child is interested in performing, there is no better age to start. Some suggestions: Many parents treat interest classes as care classes and just put their children there and let them go. When the child says he doesn\’t want to learn, he doesn\’t know what the problem is, so he either agrees to give up the child\’s study, or forces the child to continue learning. This is the most important thing. I would like to make a few suggestions for this: First, be careful before making a choice. Not only should you consider your child’s interests, personality, and talent, but you should also carefully choose training institutions and teachers. It is best to visit multiple schools and try out more classes before deciding whether to sign up for a class. , give priority to the nearest choice, and don’t sign up for too many interest classes, which will put too much pressure on your children and yourself. Second, after choosing, children should be encouraged to study seriously and not give up easily. Although attending interest classes does not necessarily allow children to become painters, pianists, etc., they must at least meet the basic requirements for learning. At the same time, it is also necessary to exercise children\’s patience and willpower through learning. Third, when a child wants to give up, parents should work with the child to analyze the reasons and solve the problem, instead of blindly indulging or forcing the child to give up.son. If after encouragement, companionship, and exhaustion of various methods, the child insists on giving up, respecting the child\’s wishes is also an option. I once read a saying that said very well, \”True letting nature take its course is actually trying your best and not forcing it, rather than just inaction.\” Before enrolling your child in a hobby class, you must think about it. Parents, what can we do for our children.
