It has been said that as a mother, it is not only to raise the child to adulthood, but also to raise the child as their own business to operate.
In the child is not born to have the child after birth and early education knowledge, in his four or five years of age to understand and his adolescence will be the emergence of knowledge related to the problem, only these, will not panic in a crisis, will be able to guide and direct the child in an organized manner. For this reason, we also have to prepare our children before they go to school so that they are not in a hurry.
When I was on the phone with a former coworker the other day, she reminded me over the phone: you are home full-time now anyway, so let your kids learn to read more, we're feeling a lot of pressure right now. I asked her which classes are under pressure, she said the child now feels the pressure of language and English, math, because in kindergarten on the Kumon math, some of the foundation, the subject is okay.
And advised me to let Dot take kindergarten Kumon math. The colleague's child is not too good, every time I met her before going to elementary school, she talked about the child's food and drink, rarely talk about the child's education, may be the child's foundation is not too good, right?
Before elementary school, often play with the point of swallow sister since the elementary school has never seen her out to play, one evening, we played in the garden when they met their mother and daughter three, asked about the situation after the swallow school, her mother said that now the pressure is very big, the swallow to do homework is very slow, and a lot of words do not know, do their homework will not have the time to come down to play. There is also a colleague, the child on the fifth grade, every day after school, mother and daughter in the garden to play badminton, jumping rope, usually to play for more than half an hour.
Ask her mom: Do you have much homework? How do you have time to come out and play? Colleagues said: homework is not much, the first calcination for a while, after I go home to cook, she will write homework, after dinner and then read books. They do feel very relaxed look.
This colleague's daughter on the focus of the elementary school, the above a few small children are on the garden near the elementary school, not particularly good, but also are Guangdong Province, the first-class school, the school is not bad. Dot will be in elementary school next year, the mother of these children in elementary school is particularly concerned, see their families to understand the situation after they go to school, before going to school to have what basic knowledge, not only that, the mother also added into a few elementary school moms group, to the mothers to learn from those who ask them to go to school after the emergence of some of the problems.
Some moms responded: some do not accompany the child to do homework after school, completely let him deal with his own, the child is very conscious, the performance is very good. Some want mom to do it with them, and when they walk away, they get distracted, and mom feels tired.
Some said that at the beginning of the company for a while, and then do not accompany, let him do their own, some can do well, some can not do well. Some moms say that their kids don't pay attention in class, and the teachers keep asking their parents to go to school.
Some say that their children's writing is a big problem, and they ask where there are writing courses, and some say that their children are not interested in English, and they ask how they can make their children interested in English. Some say that their children are too slow in mental math, and say that they need to strengthen their children's mental math skills.
Different families have different problems. After learning about some of the problems that arise after their children go to school, they ask about the foundation that their children need to build before they go to school.
Many mothers said that they need to know more words, read more storybooks, and that math in elementary school is very simple, so they don't need to learn too much.
Some moms say that they need to listen to more English for their children to develop a sense of language.
Some mothers say they don't need to learn too much, learn too much to go to school after the child in the classroom to look at their own will not pay attention to the lecture, and develop a bad habit of not listening carefully. Some mothers say that their children have never learned pinyin, and that the teachers are very quick to teach them, and that both the children and their mothers feel very stressed.
Some parents were also told by the teacher that they should go home and strengthen their children, that other children would be able to do it, and that your foundation was too poor, which made the parents ashamed of themselves. After two or three months, to understand the city's three districts of a portion of the children's after school and before school, combined with the situation that we can not get into the famous school, mom and dad finally reached an agreement: on our neighborhood supporting elementary school, before the school to point point to lay a good foundation, after the school mom tutored point point point of the homework, point point of a relaxed and happy learning atmosphere.
1, before going to elementary school to solve the problem of independent reading. The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and the second time I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and the third time I was a student there.
Let's lower the requirements, 1000 words, basically can understand the general storybook, read the elementary school year through the textbook should not have a problem, read the test questions should not have a problem. The first thing you need to do is to get a good understanding of what you're talking about, and you'll be able to do that.
These are the words that DotDotDot already knows. No one knows how many words Dot Dot Dot knows now, but I don't think it's more than 400.
Because usually seldom teach her to separate to literacy, are the process of reading books to recognize, some did not teach, she read more on their own also recognize. But compared with the 1000 words, there is still a lot worse, it seems that the task is still very difficult.
2, read more. The first is to expand the vocabulary, to prepare for the future of writing.
Which books to read? The first category is the story of the picture book, this kind of book is more on the child's appetite, the child is also interested in, more like to see. These books are simpler and some can be read independently on their own.
The second category is the ancient classics: Dot has finished reading the Analects of Confucius, and is now reading the Tao Te Ching, the Three Character Classic, and some poems that are suitable for young children's tastes. In the past, Dot used to listen to her mother read and slowly recite, but now her mother writes some of the articles or poems she has read on the whiteboard at home, so that Dot can point and read them, and by reading these books, she recognizes more characters and more words, and the third category is the history books.
After watching the National Day parade this year, Dot was very interested in the era of *** Chiang Kai-shek. Dot's father also took the opportunity to tell her stories about that era, guiding her interest in history, and then took Dot to the Shenzhen Museum of History, where Dot is now very curious about history, and is always asking a lot of questions about why. The father took out the family's "Five Thousand Years of China", ready to inject it into the brain of Dot.
The fourth category is popular science books. There are a lot of popular science books and craft books at home (in the words of my friend: your home is a small library.)
Dot can read them at any time. Doing experiments and handicrafts is what Dot is most interested in. Before, mom always took Dot to do it, but now mom is lazy too. Now is the point of their own books to read, find their own materials, their own hands, really can not do mother to help.
2. What do children need to be able to do in the early childhood stage
If you have a parent who speaks a foreign language, you might want to try to get your child to live in a two-language environment. For example, if you have a father who communicates with you in Chinese and a mother who communicates with you in English, you will be able to speak to your child in both languages.
Social adaptability Social adaptability includes the ability to socialize, adapt to the environment, and live independently, but the most important thing for growing children is the ability to live independently. The most important thing to do is to be able to live independently, and you only need to do this in two words.
Let go of your hand and let your child do things like eating, dressing, brushing teeth, washing face, and tying shoelaces. The ability to live independently is based on respect and trust for the child, and parents can only really "let go" if they believe in themselves and believe in their children.
3. What to learn in the early years
The first impression is very important, and I believe that no one would be unaware of the fact that you should dress decently and neatly for the interview.
However, it's not just your child who should be decent and neat, it's also yourself. Just think, a parent who dresses sloppily, behaves lazily, and can't even manage himself, how can he manage his children? There are also parents who like to pester the teacher to ask this and that, and the attitude is not even very polite, not knowing that the teacher is actually very annoyed with this kind of parents.
If the school accepts your child, it means that the next few years will have to deal with you, and who wants to be pestered by such parents? The child's ability to take care of himself or herself needs to be cultivated Kindergarten teachers sometimes act as babysitters, but in elementary school, teachers can no longer interfere too much in the child's life and living. So it's important for children to learn the basics of self-care.
Can your child tie his own shoes? The first thing you need to do is to find a way to tell what's going on in the world and what's going on in the world, and you can do that. Your child has developed basic hygiene habits? All of these minutiae can be the subject of an early childhood interview. Don't expect these skills to be learned by surprise before the interview, but it is important to cultivate them little by little in the course of the day.
Even if you don't get the interview, these basic self-care skills are essential for your child's life in elementary school. The quality is in the details Humility, courtesy and politeness are traditional Chinese virtues that are still present in most people's minds, even today, when individuality and flair are emphasized.
A modest and polite, everywhere know how to think of people's children, will inevitably be able to get along with their classmates in the future, and the harmony and friendship, so that a class body can have a collective centripetal force. These basic human qualities are often reflected in the details, for example, self-introduction of the interviewer's attitude, and children group interviews with other children's words and deeds In addition, the child's psychological quality is also reflected in the details.
Easily nervous, mental laxity and other problems, to overcome also not a day's work, it is important to exercise from childhood.
The first thing you need to do is to get rid of all the mistakes you've made in the past, and you'll be able to get rid of all the mistakes you've made in the past.
As a teacher, I am most happy to see a child who can learn by example, and who wants to bring a memorization machine? So, some schools will come up with some break the habitual thinking of the topic, although there is a suspicion of tricky, but it is to give us to train children to provide another line of thought. There is a test question circulating on the Internet: one minute to pick a melon on the melon tree, how many can be picked in a day? The answer is not 1,440, but it is impossible for a melon to grow on a tree.
In the face of such a poor answer, you may want to teach your children this rebuttal: teacher ah, melon is impossible to grow in the tree, but no one can pick a minute to pick a melon, a pick to pick a day ah! The interview focuses on the child's comprehensive ability.
4. What is the knowledge of ECE
I believe that many parents are quite entangled in the ECE, do not want their children to go to after not learning any knowledge. In fact, the focus of each family is slightly different, some focus on the cultural knowledge of the study, some focus on the ability to improve the training.
Like my daughter, she is not self-conscious about her studies, and her reading ability is poor, and she is influenced by other things when she reads. This kind of situation in elementary school also has a big impact on learning, in class or writing homework easily distracted. So I went to the Qiaoqian Education across the street to enroll in the Kindergarten to Primary School Bridging Classes, their Kindergarten to Primary School Bridging will not only enhance the child's ability to learn, but will also guide the child from the comprehensive ability to enter school. For example, one of the courses is attention training, mainly to increase the child's ability to resist distraction. Now slowly, my daughter can sit down and read a book for half an hour honestly.
In addition to this, there are also programs that train children to understand the operation of the hour and minute hands, to establish a preliminary concept of time, to form a sense of time management, and to let children combine numbers and drawings to expand their creativity, and so on.
Parents will put the focus on the wrong thing, that is, to learn the knowledge of the elementary school, but wait until the classmates to learn, quite fast will be overtaken. Parents should focus on cultivating children's learning habits and ways of thinking, and help children improve from the thinking that is really useful.
5. What do you need to know and be able to do before you start elementary school
There are still a few months to go before your child enters elementary school, so what do you need to know and be able to do before you start elementary school? Kindergarten is a play-oriented form of education, suitable for preschool children thinking characteristics and understanding of the way to accept, elementary school is to classroom learning as the dominant form of learning, from the point of view of the continuity of education, the core of the transition period of qualitative change is mainly reflected in the child's social awareness and abstract and logical thinking of these two aspects of the mental quality of cultivation.
First, the cultivation of social consciousness. For children, social consciousness includes: task consciousness, rule consciousness, independence consciousness, self-control, etc. Children may face a sudden rise in task density and difficulty along with new dominant activities in elementary school, and the amount of rules and independent completion of the requirements of new environments are the corresponding psychological variables.
Around this, the main aspects of education and training in the transition period are as follows: 1. Cultivate a sense of rules and the ability to implement rules, such as understanding the meaning of rules, and abide by the basic rules of life and learning. 2. 2. Cultivate independence, such as self-awareness Independence; cultivate basic self-care ability and independent study habits, problem solving ability, etc.
3. to develop task awareness and the ability to carry out tasks, including achievement motivation, the development of a sense of responsibility and the development of the basic ability to complete tasks. 4. to develop interpersonal skills, such as positive feelings towards peers and the collective, learning to establish good interpersonal relationships with classmates, and learning interaction skills.
5. Cultivating initiative, including cultivating a wide range of interests and curiosity, as well as protecting the child's desire to discover and search for new experiences, and allowing the child to learn to choose his or her own activities and practice them on his or her own initiative. ● In each of these areas, kindergarten and home education should focus on developing the latter three.
Second, the development of abstract thinking, logical thinking ability. For children, the cultivation of abstract thinking and logical thinking ability mainly refers to the cultivation of the child's ability to analyze and synthesize, abstract generalization, judgment and reasoning, as well as the use of knowledge and experience to solve problems.
The child enters the elementary school along with the new dominant activity of recognizing, reading, arithmetic and other classroom requirements corresponding to the psychological variables. Parents must not enter the misunderstanding of letting their children receive concrete textbook knowledge early, but should pay attention to the development of intelligence behind the child's recognition, reading and arithmetic, such as: spatial relationship understanding, observation and comparison, logical operation and abstract symbols operation, etc., as well as the interest and motivation of active learning.
Around this, the transition period of education and training are mainly in the following areas: 1, reading readiness (1) Strengthening the training of listening and speaking skills. (2) Strengthen the cultivation of early reading.
(3) Cultivate the ability to observe, compare, analyze, and classify. (4) Develop orientation and spatial perception.
* Kindergarten and home development focuses on (1) and (2). 2. Mathematics Preparation i. Recognize quantitative relationships (equivalence, transference, relativity, reversibility, inclusion). ii. Understand the meaning of application problems. iii. ii. understanding the meaning of application problems, understanding the methods of solving problems, using simple math in life, making up simple oral application problems, etc. iii. developing an interest in noticing, discovering, and exploring.
Parents should avoid two tendencies when they learn about the main educational contents of the transition period between kindergarten and primary school: First, they should expect too much from their children. Instead, they should patiently guide, inspire, and encourage their children according to their actual level of physical and mental development, and refrain from making excessive demands or forcing their children; and secondly, they should over-protect their children or do everything for them, which not only affects the formation of their sense of responsibility for their independence, but also makes their children dependent on them for everything, and reduces their self-confidence.
To believe in the child's ability, let the child have more opportunities to try and experience on their own. In short, both tendencies objectively increase the slope of the transition, which is not conducive to the growth of the child.
A wise parent should "understand the child, encourage the child, support the child".
6. What children should be prepared for when they go to elementary school
The transition from kindergarten to elementary school is a major transition in a child's life. UNICEF and the former National JW Early Childhood Education Department jointly conducted a study on the transition from kindergarten to elementary school, and the results showed that the impact of this transition is even greater than that of children entering middle school or college.
Teachers of the lower grades of elementary school give the following understanding and suggestions:
1, now the children's growth environment is too superior, parents are too pampered, too much to do, resulting in the children are afraid of difficulties, afraid of frustration, poor self-control, poor mental capacity, poor self-reliance.
2, pay attention to the habit of training; focus is the most important.
3, to help children form a good attitude, do things seriously, carefully, patiently, start and finish;
4, to help children enhance the comprehensive quality, so that children can listen, learn and think, so that they have a certain amount of basic skills of learning;
5, so that children have a certain sense of rules, the sense of task and the concept of time.
6. The teaching of hanyu pinyin should make the training of the sense of language and imitation ability as the primary task.
7. Focus on the training of audio-visual perception, spatial perception, logic, and reasoning ability, and enhance the child's observation, listening, and thinking ability;
8. Most children do not have professional guidance when they initially put up their pens to draw and write, which leads to errors in sitting and holding the pen, as well as errors in the rules of writing. Since bad habits have already been formed, it is very difficult to correct them. It is recommended that the "bridging" stage focus on sitting posture, pen grip guidance, focus on pen skills training.
9, follow the principle of education, according to the material, from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult.
The goals of the training program are:
1. To enable children to develop good observation and thinking habits, enhance their ability to learn math, and increase their interest in learning math;
2. To enhance children's phonological sensibility and imitation ability, to master the spelling skills of Hanyu Pinyin, and to help children carry out early reading to reduce the learning obstacles caused by the lack of literacy in the school;
3. Understand the basic composition of Chinese characters, establish the basic skills of learning Chinese characters, perceive some rules and methods of learning Chinese characters, and reduce the difficulty of learning Chinese characters after entering school;
4. Determine the correct order of observation according to different things and scenes, and be able to carry out organized and complete expressions;
5. Develop the child's audio-visual perceptions, so as to enable the child to have a normative awareness and adapt to the teaching style of elementary school teachers and the structure of the elementary school classroom.
6. To enable children to handle school interviews with ease and to be happy and confident in their elementary school life.
As a matter of fact, both the interviews and written tests for Kindergarten to Primary School and the requirements of Primary School teachers for their students, all of them hope that the children from Kindergarten to Primary School can have good manners and study habits, master the basic power of expression, observation and certain logical reasoning ability, including the coordination and balance of the limbs. And be mentally prepared to start learning knowledge. Teachers want children to be ready, is the attitude and basic ability, is a student with the potential for development of the qualities that should be.
7. What are the competencies needed for the interviews of children and parents
The education of children has always been the center of gravity of parents' lives, and elementary school education is the most important one.
The vast majority of parents can be said to have made a great deal of effort in choosing a school, trying to get their children into a good school. There is a difference between public and private schools, so let's not argue about the highs and lows here, but today we're going to talk about the interviews for admission to private elementary school in Shanghai.
As we all know, private elementary school in Shanghai are enrolled through entrance interviews, and each private school can arrange its own interviews, which are determined by the private schools themselves. The major well-known private elementary school entrance interview questions in previous years casually online search is a basket of those interview questions, although on the surface seems to be a variety of things, all-inclusive, but a hundred variations are not deviating from the same thing, summarized are basically around the child's ability to investigate the eight abilities, which include: virtue, physical fitness and coordination, attention and observation (memory), logical ability, language expression, The first is the ability to think, and the second is the ability to think, and the third is the ability to think, and the third is the ability to think, and the third is the ability to think.
Next Xiaolezi took you to see what way those hot private schools are examining these abilities, so that parents from now on to teach and train their children a variety of abilities. The "moral" refers to the child's ideological and behavioral norms, which is easier to ignore, some private schools will be examined for the child's moral.
For example, there is a group game in the interview questions of Shifu Primary School 2015, which allows children to work together to complete a piece of work, and the interviewer will observe the child's behavior during the game to see if they are standardized, and whether or not they are friendly. Good virtues need to be cultivated from a young age, so parents should teach by example in their ordinary lives, set an example, improve the quality of the child's mind and regulate the child's behavior.
Physical fitness and coordinationThe vast majority of schools will examine the physical fitness and coordination of the child, basically letting the child follow the music or video dancing, jumping exercise, jumping rope, jumping lattice and so on. In the interview of the World Wide Primary School 2015, the children were allowed to dance according to the music, do radio gymnastics and even dance mechanically, which examined the children's physical fitness and coordination, so the parents should pay attention to give the children enough time to move up.
Attention and observation (memory) memory partly by heredity, the other part is to rely on attention and observation, only a high degree of concentration, observation of meticulous mastery of the trick, will remember longer. The world outside the elementary school interview in 2015 there is a level is to observe different graphics, say the difference, this will require the child to concentrate on observing the graphics of the different points.
There are also school interviews where the teacher will let the child look at something first and then let you reproduce the image, etc., to examine whether the child's observation is sharp and memory is accurate. The first thing you need to do is to change the items in your home from time to time to see if your child can notice the difference, and you can also prompt your child to find out what is different in your home, and use such methods to exercise your child's power of observation and memory.
Language skills are the main way to improve our quality and develop our potential, and the ability to express ourselves is one of the most important factors for success in life. Some school interview teachers usually communicate with children by chatting with them and suggesting simple topics to communicate with them.
The interviews of elementary school such as World Wide, Aiju, Yifu, Grand Garden, etc. 2015 will have the part of self-introduction, name, age, where do you live, what do your mom and dad do, etc., or say one thing that makes you very happy or very sad, look at the picture and tell a story, etc. The interviews of elementary school such as World Wide will have the part of self-introduction. The above ways to examine the child's language expression is fluent and complete.
Parents can usually talk to their children at home, before going to bed at night to talk about what they played today, happy or unhappy or other ideas can be said, the parents themselves can first talk about their own experience today, and then let the children speak, share and exchange; parents can also let the children tell their own stories and so on, to develop the child's habit of verbal expression. The first thing you need to do is to find a way to get the best out of your child, and you'll be able to do it in a way that's easy for him or her.
The Grand Garden 2015 interview allows children to use tangrams to put together pictures, such as houses, flowers, small fish, airplanes, etc., and add a stroke on top of a circle, square, rectangle, or semicircle, what pattern can be turned into? In normal life, parents can play jigsaw puzzles with their children. Parents can ask their children to ask why more often, or they can also ask their children why, so that they can exercise their children's cause and effect relationship. In addition, you can also let your child classify their toys, clothes, food, furniture, etc., to exercise their logic skills.
Imagination (divergent thinking) Imagination and divergent thinking are usually examined together. The basic method of examination is to look at pictures and tell a story, giving the child a few pictures and letting the child pick out his or her own pictures and sort them to tell a complete story or several. Some schools will also give children some different shapes of blocks, so that children can come up with several different ways of arranging them, which requires children to have a big brain and give full play to their imagination.
The child's idea is actually the most bizarre, in ordinary life do not easily give the child's ideas to correct, to encourage the child's many imagination and assumptions, so they will be more bold sky. The hands-on ability of the child's hands need to be put into action in combination with their own learning and imagination, so many schools will also be on the child's hands-on ability to examine.
Yifu Primary School's 2015 interview asked the child to make a Mother's Day card according to the teacher's requirements, and to be able to clearly articulate the steps of making the card, and then to develop his or her imagination and tell a story with the created scenario. This requires the child to fully combine their knowledge, hands-on skills, and imagination.
Parents can do a lot of crafts and chores with their children at home, which is a good way to develop their hands-on skills.
Some schools will examine the child's interpersonal and collaborative skills, usually requiring several children to work together to complete a task, such as the Shaw Elementary School 2015 interview with the interviewer to put a few children.
