Cultivate habits, broaden the horizons to be useful for a lifetime As soon as the child goes to elementary school, many parents will be more or less concerned about the child’s academic performance, but you may not know that the child’s early grades, especially elementary school grades for the growth of a child, is really unimportant, parents must not pay too much attention to the score of this high or low. Theoretically speaking: 0-6 years old stage, is the child’s good habits (including mental habits and behavioral habits) the formation of the key period! At the same time, it is also the golden period for the development of children’s abilities, the most important of which is the development of learning ability, which seems to be complex learning ability, but can be cultivated with the development of an ability of more than 90%: that is, “reading ability”! But the ability to read, need two conditions to develop: the first is the continuity and consistency, that is, the cultivation of reading habits: to be fixed every day to have reading time, not like to read read, do not like to not read, this will not have a good habit of formation; the second is the cumulative amount of reading, the general young children a year’s reading to reach 50-1 million words can make this ability to sprout! 6-12 years old stage, is the reading ability (that is, the basis of learning ability) the most golden period of long development, these six years, it can be said, nothing is more important than the sea of reading, greatly improving the development of reading ability. A child’s intelligence, like a seed, needs conditions to germinate and grow. That condition is reading and hands-on brain play! If a child never reads a good book, never even reads a book of more than 100,000 words, but instead devotes a great deal of time to school textbooks and tons of homework, that child’s natural intelligence is starved! As a general rule, a child in first or second grade should not read less than one million words per year (normal is between one and two million words), second or third grade should not read less than two million words per year (normal is between two and three million words), and fourth, fifth, and sixth grades should not read less than three million words per year (normal is between three and five million words, and some children who are big readers can reach 10 million words or more per year). million words or more). The reason that children between the ages of 6 and 12 in elementary school can’t devote all their energy to textbooks and homework is that the singularity and superficiality of elementary school textbooks are far from being able to meet the needs of a child’s growing brain. Only by reading a large number of books, reading a large number of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign masterpieces and classics, and extensively reading encyclopedic books (e.g., astronomy, geography, history, physics, chemistry, biology, philosophy, art and other encyclopedic knowledge) can a child’s intelligence continue to grow, and ultimately, form a strong developmental ability! The child has been in school all day to follow the teacher to listen to the lessons, do problems, and at night to complete a large number of homework, such time and energy investment, as into the sea to find a needle, it is not worth the loss. How about “read a thousand books, traveling ten thousand miles”, read the masterpieces as full of trees, the final harvest is a forest! Its effect is much higher than into the sea to find a needle, even if the fishing is just a needle. Elementary school grades are confusing The reason why, elementary school grades are very deceptive and false, because the child put all the time into the textbooks and homework to go, naturally, there is no time to read a lot of books, and this is like losing the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds. Even if they get a high score, even if it’s a perfect score, it’s a huge loss for the child’s future! This loss to the middle school began to show, many secondary school teachers know a strange phenomenon: those elementary school stage alone by investing all the time and energy to capture the high score of the children, into junior high school grades fell rapidly, the more these children learn the more tired, the more they learn the more they will not learn; precisely those elementary school grades are mediocre, but the children who have read a lot of books, see a lot of children’s grades rise powerful, after the start, The potential is endless! High school this situation is even more serious! After entering society, when the need to work ability rather than a report card to assess a person’s development, this division is even more incomparable degree! Therefore, many parents in the child’s elementary school stage is very important to the child’s grades, and even sometimes by some teachers are emphasized every day to the score of confusion, do not want their children to spend more time to read and play, think it is a waste of time! However, when the child is as malnourished as a seedling and lacks the strength to grow, and when the child is weak in secondary school, the parents will only complain about how the child is doing, not realizing that they are the ones who caused the child’s “short-lived high scores” and “intellectual malnutrition”. Elementary school grades must be calmer, more subtle, do not pursue the high and low scores, but more importantly for the child’s growth in the future to make adequate preparations!
