Seven steps and three rules for doing homework with your children. If you stick to it for a month, you will see changes.

Every parent has a basket of materials to tell about the pain of tutoring homework. There is no need for us to list it again. Everyone understands it. Without further ado, let me share seven steps and three rules for doing homework with your children. If you stick to it for a month, you will see changes, from hell mode to painless mode. The first step of the seven steps is to exercise first and then study. Let’s put ourselves in the children’s shoes: sitting in school all day, and even being restricted to ten minutes between classes, they are not allowed to run or jump. I finally looked forward to the end of school, thinking I could finally relax for a while. As a result, students were asked to go home and sit in a fixed seat to face boring knowledge. Their brains were exhausted and slowed down. How to help students adapt to the new semester as quickly as possible? Their energy was jumping up and down, but they were suppressed and had nowhere to release it. This is not in line with their nature at all, and the child\’s aversion to homework and learning has simply reached its peak. Go out and play for half an hour first, and then start doing homework immediately for the best results. \”Cognitive Awakening\” mentioned that exercise can cause the brain to grow new neurons. Neurons need to develop and grow nerve axes and dendrites to form true nerve cells. Therefore, high-intensity and difficult mental activities within 1 to 2 hours after exercise can stimulate new neurons and continue to grow. If you stick to the exercise + learning model for a long time, your brain will become more and more flexible without realizing it. The book \”Hyperactive Children Can Also Study Well\” mentions that exercise can promote blood circulation in the brain, stimulate the growth of brain nerve cells, and improve learning ability. After exercising, you will be more energetic, absorb knowledge more easily, and be more motivated to reinvest in learning. Walking or riding a bicycle home, playing in the community for a while, skipping rope, and going up and down the stairs several times can be used as exercises to activate the brain before doing homework. The second step is to deal with chores 5 minutes before writing homework. Some children are not focused on their homework because there are many things to distract them. It may be that the surrounding environment is noisy, and the child is disturbed by the sound of TV and talking; it may be that the physical needs are not met, such as drinking water and eating snacks, going to the toilet, and seeing toys on the table. Before your children do their homework, give them a quiet environment; make an agreement with your children to do the preparations well: keep the table clean and tidy, leave no toys, drink water and go to the toilet in advance, and if you are hungry, you can cushion your stomach before writing. . Once you start working on your homework, do not leave your seat. The third step is to sort the homework. Write down the daily homework one by one and determine the order in which you should write the homework. Before doing homework, it is up to the child to decide which item to write first, that is, to judge the difficulty. When doing homework, finish one item, put a check mark, and then complete the next item. The advantage of this is that it will virtually make children do things in a planned and organized manner. In the future, learning will become more difficult and learning tasks will increase, which requires the ability to formulate study plans. The fourth step is to review what you learned that day and then do your homework. This may seem like a waste of time, but it actually improves efficiency. Class time is limited, and a lot of knowledge has not been fully digested. If you flip through books while doing homework, it is actually no different from copying. Clarify the purpose of homework: to see whether the children have learned what they learned in class and to understand the topics they do not understand, not to give an explanation to the teacher. Guide children to get their homework and think about the teacherWhy leave such a job? Because I learned ** in class, today’s homework is for consolidation, proficiency, and application… Homework has the function of testing and reflecting the results of the class. If I write quickly, it means I learn well. I write slowly because there are things I am unfamiliar with and don’t understand. Of course, there is another way that I write that is full of mistakes, that is, I haven’t learned it yet. Reviewing before doing homework not only consolidates the knowledge learned that day, but also improves the efficiency of homework and sharpens the work of chopping wood. The fifth step is to enter the \”test\” mode. Clear feedback is the key to children\’s progress. Set a time, do not flip through the book, do not read the answers, do not ask questions at any time, treat daily homework like a small test, and complete it in one go. The problem exposed by doing homework every day is clear feedback, and mistakes are used as directions for improvement. In the process of training children to learn independently, children can be encouraged to conduct self-tests and self-feedback. For example, when memorizing words, you don\’t look at the book and read it over and over again, but look at whether you can read and write it when you close the book. If you have any questions you don’t know, you can leave them until the end. This also requires parents not to watch all the time, but to correct mistakes immediately when they see them. Research by two professors of psychological and brain sciences, Andrew C. Butler of Washington University in St. Louis and Henry L. Roediger of Yale University, shows that slightly delaying feedback on students’ learning content for a period of time can produce better long-term learning effects than immediate feedback. In terms of learning effect, no test after learning <no feedback after test <immediate feedback after test <delayed feedback after test. Wait until the child has finished writing, and then explain and correct the mistakes. It is equivalent to letting the child learn twice. The impression will be deeper and the effect will be better. Step 6: Check and ask questions. For younger children, you can draw a range when checking homework: there is an error in these four questions to guide the children to check themselves. For older children, you can define a large range for the children to self-examine and guide them to think: Where have I learned and where am I weak? What is this question testing? How difficult is this knowledge point? What is the connection with what you learned in the past? How can I learn this difficulty? What methods should be used to avoid making mistakes on error-prone points? I got this question wrong, what is my thinking? Adjust your thinking and methods to see if you can get it right? …In daily life, we should also pay more attention to cultivating children\'s thinking ability and let them think about \"why\" instead of letting parents do everything. Use questions and inspections to \"force\" children to think more and use their brains more. You must know that the combination of a child\'s independent thinking ability and listening ability is the real learning ability. The seventh step is to classify and sort out wrong questions. Wrong questions can most accurately reflect blind spots in knowledge. The wrong question itself is your weak link. If you correct it directly after listening to the teacher\'s explanation or checking the answer, then you only remember it momentarily and have not analyzed and summarized how to deal with this type of question or what issues you need to pay attention to in the future. You will still do it next time. Same mistake. Only by summarizing can we draw inferences from one instance to another. The wrong questions found out are collected in the wrong question book to facilitate regular revision and review in the future. The wrong question book is a must-have for academic masters.When dealing with wrong questions, you need to go through several thinking processes: Look at the wrong question, what type is it roughly? How do these errors occur? In future study/question solving, which link can be changed to effectively reduce/avoid such errors? I usually sort out the wrong questions in time, read them every few days and do them independently, and use them to review before the exam, which can be said to get twice the result with half the effort. Three rules: 1. Don’t procrastinate when doing homework. Don’t talk, don’t look around, don’t play while writing, but focus on completing it efficiently. We all know the importance of focus. Just like what is said in \"Cognitive Awakening\": Concentration is the sharp sword that cuts through the thorns in learning. The real motivation for concentration is not perseverance and patience, but the constant discovery of subtle differences in technique and continued focus. The more concentrated the energy, the more subtle the perception. 2. For words that you can’t write without calling mom, you can look them up in the dictionary instead of calling mom. After you’ve finished writing, check it yourself first and read the composition fluently before calling mom! If you don\'t know the questions, you can think about them first. If you really don\'t know them, you can save them until the end and read the book to solve them. In the end, you will definitely not call mom again! 3. Don’t be perfunctory. This is reflected in some reading and recitation assignments. (1) Isn’t it just about reading aloud? Being able to recite means being able to read. You don’t want to read aloud during the exam? Can I get more points by practicing reading aloud? But the benefits of reading aloud should not be too great! When reading aloud, pay attention to what you see with your eyes, mouth, heart, and ears. You should pause when you need to pause and reread when you need to. In order to be correct and fluent, pronunciation, punctuation, and sentence patterns are all things that should be focused on. The correct process of reading aloud is to be able to read the difference between a comma and a pause, the difference between an ellipse and a dash, understand the difference between the tone of an imperative sentence and a rhetorical question, etc., as well as how to break up a long sentence. Usually, you can let your children read a paragraph or a text aloud. Regardless of the passage or topic in which subject, when reading, you must make sure that you do not omit any words, do not add words, use correct words, do not repeat words and sentences, and have appropriate sentence breaks and pauses. If you have ideas or do not understand, you can simply write them down in the book. Make a comment. Reading aloud also plays a role in improving concentration. The advanced level of reading aloud is reading silently. Practice reading aloud well, and then mute the process so that you can read silently accurately and effectively during exams. (2) Recitation should be carried out in writing. I am very proficient in reciting ancient poems, ancient prose, and English words. When it comes to dictation and exams, I still cannot get full marks. The mistakes are basically concentrated in writing. Memorize and write at the same time. On the one hand, you will be considered memorized if you can write it out. On the other hand, you can form muscle memory and make it less likely to make mistakes during the exam. Once children start to come into contact with homework, they will have to deal with it for twelve consecutive years. It can be said that there is a \"long and long way to go\". What we parents can do is to slowly adjust our children\'s battle plan, keep improving, and win this protracted battle with an independent and skillful attitude. I wish all the children victory!
