July 31, 2019? Wednesday? Cloudy to sunny
Children, when summer vacation comes, they are almost crazy: carefree, no need to go to class every day, it is simply It's a bit "lawless", and many times it simply turns a deaf ear to parents' requests and reminders. That way, it was completely "liberating".
One day, two days, three days... As time goes by, parents become a little anxious. How can this continue? It’s better to enroll your children in some tutoring classes! At least there is some control. This is the case with my daughter.
She just had a holiday and she had relaxed for a few days. I suggested that we should formulate a study plan, but my daughter has not taken action yet, but she has made some changes. For example, if you can take some time every day to review English, read classics, or practice calligraphy, you can finally do something related to learning. I am generally satisfied with my daughter's performance. Although I encourage her to go to bed early and get up early every day, and schedule her study time more compactly, my daughter's progress is still slow and there is no improvement.
Later, a few days later, I took my daughter back to my hometown to visit relatives. More than a week flew by and my daughter had a lot of fun in the countryside. It can be said that my daughter completely relaxed her body and mind there. Seeing that my daughter is very happy, my grandparents are also very happy. I was a little embarrassed in my heart, after I go back now, will the child get out of control?
During this period, her mother enrolled her in a year-round calligraphy class, which cost more than 3,000 yuan. For the sake of her children, this money must be spent! In addition, the summer class for the painting major that had already started started when we returned to our hometown. I also asked my daughter for a few days off. Now, the child needs to attend two tutoring classes during the summer vacation, with classes on the 24th and 6th and a day off on the 13th and 5th, but there is still homework. On a class day, I spent two hours drawing in the morning and two hours practicing calligraphy in the afternoon. It can be said that the time schedule is full.
Fortunately, every time it comes to tutoring classes, my daughter is usually ready early. She basically doesn’t need adults to worry about her, and she doesn’t need too many reminders. She can complete her studies on time. Since both classes are not far from home, the children don’t need us adults to pick them up and drop them off. They can go back and forth by themselves, which saves a lot of worry. However, the weather has been relatively hot during the summer vacation this year. It was a bit hot for the children to walk to and from school, but they didn’t say anything and tolerated it. It can be considered a kind of exercise and a kind of progress!
On days when children are not in tutoring classes, time management will be poorer, they will get up a little late and play a little too much. However, there is basically no need for adults to remind me, and I can always take the initiative to complete the calligraphy tasks set aside by the calligraphy class, as well as the painting tasks set by the painting class. I saw that when my daughter did this, she was basically not unhappy. Especially when it comes to painting, although you need to use computer pictures to copy every time, you always choose what you like, take it seriously, and paint happily until you are satisfied. My daughter's paintings at home have been praised many times by her painting class teacher. My daughter is very happy, and I am also very pleased.
The only bad thing is that when my daughter is drawing in front of the computer, she always likes to listen to music while drawing. Sometimes she even watches anime videos when we adults are not paying attention. It took a lot of time and made her mom and I very angry.
However, although my daughter paints and plays at the same time, she must complete each painting carefully. Sometimes, she would paint until after 11 o'clock in the evening. If she didn't finish the painting, when we would urge her to go to bed, she would get up early the next day and continue painting. She must finish the painting before class, and then it would be considered over.
Although my daughter said that every time she takes the initiative to complete a painting, the painting class will reward her, and she wants to get more rewards, I am still quite satisfied with my daughter's serious and proactive approach to painting.
Every time my daughter completes an assignment, she will ask for free time to do what she likes, such as watching TV, playing on the computer, or doing some handicrafts. We often Will promise her. I believe that giving children more trust and encouragement will help them maintain a lasting and strong interest in learning, instead of treating learning as a chore early on, let alone being tired of learning.
Of course, regarding my daughter's procrastination and laziness, I always remind her of her procrastination and laziness, and never relax for a moment. Although I can't see immediate results, I still have to work hard! My daughter said that even though she sometimes can't do it, she understands and supports her.
With my encouragement and request, after the children complete their homework and have fun, they can basically take time to read classics such as "Journey to the West" twice to feel the beauty of reading.
Although the child cannot insist on doing housework every day, with my encouragement, the child will assure us from time to time that she will wash the dishes that day, and the work she does is just so-so. During the summer vacation, the child also washed his own clothes several times, which can be regarded as a kind of progress and growth!
In the process of children's growth, the company and encouragement of family members are indispensable. However, first of all, we parents must trust their children, teach them by words and deeds, encourage them more, and put forward their actual requirements and hopes in a timely manner. , so that children will be more receptive, and will also give us growth surprises from time to time.
