For the child is not to enroll in interest classes? There have always been two camps.
One kind of parents think that a child's childhood is not just to play? Why give him such a big burden?
If you can't have fun when you're young, you won't have fun when you grow up. Enrolling in so many hobby classes is totally depriving children of their right to play.
Another group of parents think differently from the one above. They feel that when children are young, there is not so much pressure to learn, and it is even more important to learn more things. There is a lot of time for children who are not yet in elementary school, so don't enroll him in a few more interest classes.
Because the pressure of competition in society is too great, so the child is born into a big environment, every parent wants to let the child win at the starting line.
As parents, we don't care which camp we stand in and how many kinds of ideas we have about our children's education. We always have to realize that we are educating a child, they are not a thing, they are a living, breathing human being with a mind of their own.
It is the child that we are focusing on when we do something. Whether or not the child's will is that strong for the thing to be done that's what matters.
My eldest child is 6 years old, and I myself have always been relatively calm about my child's enrollment in interest classes. Of course, in my heart, I also want my child to learn more, but also belong to the latter part of the parent's idea.
But for the children to learn hobby class, I am partly concerned about the children's ideas and hobbies. The other part of the consideration of their own pockets, as a mother of two children, I can not have the energy to accompany the child to insist on interest classes, as well as has been enrolled in the cost of the class are to be considered.
Our family is two female babies, the big baby in the kindergarten class, kindergarten on June 1 to select small children dancing, she loved. So we first enrolled in the interest class is dancing, and it is her own repeatedly asked us to enroll before going to enroll her. This way her willingness to learn is particularly strong, and very happy to work hard to learn oh.
She was enrolled in one class per week, every Saturday at 2pm. She loves her dance class so much that she wakes up early on Saturdays to get ready for her dance.
Usually, she is rushed to eat, but on this day, she is very active. And the class will be especially serious to do.
That's when you realize that interest is really the best teacher, and it's not a compulsion to do something a child likes.
There should be more and more things that you like to do, and for her to do what she likes is a kind of enjoyment, not that learning this thing is tiring.
So if she likes to enroll in a class, it's really not too much, but more often than not, she learns to self-organize her time.
Because I didn't know if she liked drawing, I let her take a trial class in summer vacation, and she liked it after four sessions.
Then the class moved to a faraway place and it was inconvenient for her to go to the class here, so she didn't take it.
But she still enjoys it, so I'm trying to keep it as a hobby for her.
I bought her some drawing materials at home, plus some of the knowledge she had learned from previous classes.
Every week, I let her follow the pictures on the computer, and she draws them herself, and puts them up all over the house. At this time, she feels very accomplished, and she thinks she's done a great job. In fact, I also think that she is very good at drawing, so I encourage her to draw more and more confidence and interest in drawing.
But when it comes to painting, there are two of us working together, and then she's in charge of coloring. Maybe the mindset is more peaceful. We also don't think he should have to learn how? It's just that it's a hobby. I think it's going to be good for her to grow up. And this way and this way you spend time with your child yourself and also do it very efficiently because we do what we like to do together.
On the hobby class side, my personal understanding is that children like is the most critical.
Rather than using utilitarianism to measure this aspect. For example, how will learning this help in the future? It's a little bit more simple that way.
We don't say we want the child to be good at what they do. Or to be great, as long as he enjoys the process of learning.
For example, if I were to dance, I would be a very hard-headed person, and I've never liked it.
But it's like square dancing if you put your heart into it. In fact, the music and dance steps are not the key, the key is to make your heart also become open. Cultivate more hobbies and interests, it is also a pleasure for your body and mind, which you yourself have experienced in the process of accompanying your children.
Because since I've been learning to dance and paint with my child, she's been my little teacher, and a lot of the time I've been practicing at home, she's the one who's been taking me and my sister to dance.
As long as the child is serious about learning, it will be fine. In the past, when I was just starting out, I would feel that the child did not get a little star today, is not a particularly good dance.
But then I tried not to think that way. Because I saw my child dancing very seriously and happily as soon as the music started.
Everyone's talent is actually different, so we can't say what to expect from her? Rather, we focus on whether she is happy inside. Of course this thing can be learned very well, and achieve some results of course very good.
All in all, as long as the child is interested in learning more love to learn is certainly beneficial, that if he does not like anything, we will be more with the child to try to find her favorite things. Everything is treated calmly, the future is still long, we and the child to grow together, the process is the most critical.
