I always regret why my parents didn't give me an interest class when I was a child. In fact, I was very talented in painting when I was a child.
For children, besides learning this thing, there are still many things worth investing in life, and eventually they will become their own poems and distant places.
Personally, I think it is very useful to enroll children in interest classes.
1, cultivate sentiment, cultivate self-cultivation.
Interest classes of painting, music, dance, calligraphy and other artistic nature can help children to accept the influence of art, which is of great help to children's creativity, imagination, personality and concentration. Interest classes such as Go and Chess can help children form careful thinking and learn to think twice before you act.
2. Keep fit and temper your will.
Nowadays, children are under great pressure to study and have heavy learning tasks. They have been sitting reading and studying for a long time, and there are not many opportunities for exercise, but health is the capital of the revolution. Taekwondo, boxing, badminton, swimming, table tennis and other sports interest classes can all achieve the effect of strengthening the body. Exercise can also transform the brain, and the more you exercise, the smarter you become. Whenever you feel stressed, you can exercise and sweat, relieve bad emotions and increase dopamine.
3, a skill, a means of making a living
If children can develop their interests into a means of making a living, it is not impossible to teach other children to dance, play the piano and draw pictures, and then set up their own studio. Some children really can't improve their academic performance, but painting is very talented, so they can find another way and take the road of painting. It is also a choice to discover your own strengths and specialties and maximize your own advantages.
Experts say: if you don't go to the interest class, you will miss the sensitive period of your child.
Each skill does have its specific sensitive period, which is scientifically divided. Don't simply and rudely interpret it as "the earlier you learn, the better". I recommend you to read Teacher Sun Ruixue's "Catch the Sensitive Period of Children" to learn more. Children will show obvious interest in this matter when they reach the sensitive period. For example, children are particularly fond of graffiti, painting day and night, and are particularly interested in shapes and colors, which is the sensitive period of painting.
Parent case
Give children more competition.
Near the summer vacation, Mr. Wang is very entangled, and which training class the children go to in the summer vacation makes him indecisive. Mr. Wang told reporters that the child will be in the sixth grade next semester, and the pressure of junior high school will come at once. He hopes his children can do well in the exam next year, so this summer, he must give them a training class to make their competition more intense.
There are many parents who think like Mr. Wang. Liu Ying, the parents of seven primary school students in Tongchuan District, said that in fact, children are very interested in dancing, but in order to make their children have good cultural achievements, she had to enroll in two training courses, namely, math and reading. She said that the lottery at the beginning of Xiaoshengchu was very risky. She chose a cram school to charge her children, so that they would have more confidence in the independent enrollment of the model school in the future.
In addition to cultural tutoring, some parents also hope that their children have many specialties, so that they can have more choices in the future. Wang Kai, a pupil in Tongchuan District, told the reporter that at his mother's request, besides mathematics, he also signed up for calligraphy, art and singing. Our mother, Ms. Zhang, told reporters that it is necessary for children to lay a good foundation early so that it will not be too late to go to high school in the future.
You should also pay attention to the method of enrolling children in interest classes.
1, don't get together and sign up for classes, so that interest becomes a burden.
Some parents have enrolled many interest classes for their children at the same time, and the holidays are full. Today, they will learn to draw, and tomorrow, they will have Go class in the morning and swimming class in the afternoon. The children's play time is all squeezed out, which is more urgent than going to school. This will backfire and make them feel tired. Finally, interest becomes a burden. Getting together to report to class is easy to cause children to know everything, but everyone knows a little, which is not deep enough. Interest classes can be reported one by one, and no more than two at the same time. If I enroll my children in interest classes, I will enroll in physical education classes first, and then in art classes.
2. Teach students in accordance with their aptitude and choose interest classes suitable for children.
For children, many interest classes are new, and they may all want to try them, but parents can't all apply, and wallets can't bear it. Therefore, it is suggested that parents can take their children to listen and experience first, or try it at home with their children for a while to see if their children can continue to be interested. In addition, parents also need to fully understand the advantages of their children and teach them in accordance with their aptitude.
3. Help children learn to persist.
Once enrolled in the interest class, children may encounter various difficulties and have the idea of backing out. Parents should guide their children to stick to it. It is impossible to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. The process of attending interest classes is also a process of tempering children's willpower. If you want to learn, you should study hard, not just skim the surface.
