Self-learning is a learning ability that children must master. Let children be themselves and fall in love with learning. This is an important family education class.

Why do children need to master self-learning abilities?

Early childhood is the period when the metabolism of the cerebral cortex is most vigorous. Judging from brain maturation degree, all areas of the cerebral cortex have approached the adult level by the end of childhood. Therefore, early childhood is a period of rapid growth and basic maturity of the human brain, which ensures the possibility of rapid development of children’s mental and intellectual activities, and is an important period for children’s early education. And letting children master the ability of self-learning can effectively exercise their brains, allow them to think more, and effectively cultivate flexible thinking.

How should children effectively master self-learning skills?

1. Guide children to learn to think based on their interests

If your child likes a particular toy, stay with him and help him research the toy. For example, if your child has liked to play with model cars since he was a child, then parents can often take time to play with the child to play with his various vehicles, and then parents should ask him from time to time, what parts does this car consist of? What does it do? When the child says what the car is used for, parents can simulate the scene of a short story. In playing, children learn to think and understand what the toy does.

2. Buy books about a specific toy your child likes

Use toys to guide children to form the habit of reading. If your child loves toy cars, parents can buy a variety of car-related picture books. The book introduces the detailed construction of the vehicle. Children will be very interested in such books because they like cars, and will gradually develop the habit of reading.

3. Study time should be regular

Parents can accompany their children at a fixed time each day and then study with them. Don’t let your child read a book alone while you play with your phone. Parents should set an example. There is one more thing to pay attention to. Except for special circumstances, it is necessary to learn with children every day. Habits need to be accumulated over a certain period.

4. Guide children to learn to think and expand the scope of children’s hobbies

When you take your child out to play, when you see something, explain it to the child, and guide the child to think. Let the child develop more interests and make him full of curiosity and a new attraction for learning new things. Children need to learn to think.

5. Don’t command child what to do, which will stress him out

Children’s learning is “playing to learn, learning to play”. Children are not like adults, adults can quietly read a book, but children only have 3–5 minutes of concentration. If you want your child to do the homework, do not tell the child directly that “this is the homework assigned by the teacher. You have to do it.”

This will be stressful for children, because neither adults nor children like “commands.” Maybe he wants to watch TV at this moment, then parents need to guide him. For example, design homework as a game and let the child cooperate actively. Remember not to let children complete their tasks through criticism and scolding. The child can’t remember the content he learns. And gradually, he will be afraid of doing homework. If he is allowed to complete the homework through the rules that he can accept, he will remember the content, and at the same time, he will find it so interesting to do the homework. When your child learns, be sure to encourage him, which will increase his self-confidence.

6. A perfect tool can effectively tutor your kid’s study.

As mentioned above, children are easily distracted at this age. Children are easily distracted when studying and like to play with small objects. It’s essential to buy a tool for your child to help with learning. Children can use this learning tool when playing to have a greater interest in learning and effectively improve their self-learning ability.
