In fact, each child's receptive ability and logical thinking ability are different at different ages. Before choosing an interest class for your child, look at whether your child's age and acceptance are within the range before making a choice.
Children aged 3-6 enter school age, which is also the peak period for parents to invest in their children's education and training. During this period, children's thirst for knowledge and learning ability are also extremely strong. So many preschool children began to learn writing, calligraphy, swimming, English and so on. There is certainly no harm in learning more at this stage, but it is necessary to distinguish between those who need to focus on cultivating investment for a long time and those who are really interested in learning.
Children aged 6- 10 are in the training period. When children enter school, they begin to learn systematic cultural knowledge, the formation of study habits and living habits, and the initial psychological and physical development. With the diversification of homework, you will find that many interest classes will be stopped, and at the same time, you will find that children are learning interest classes in some fields better and better.
10- 12-year-old children are very mature psychologically. The development of hobbies also tends to be stable. But for children in this period, it is a terrible thing if they don't have their favorite interests. If you are interested in a certain professional field during this period, parents should fully cooperate.
Therefore, when choosing an interest class for your child, you must decide it according to your child's situation. You can't follow blindly. You know, it takes time to master one more skill. However, children's time is limited, and it is futile to sign up for more interest classes without consolidating their practice.
How to balance hobbies and study without conflict?
In fact, academic performance and hobbies are not contradictory. Parents must prevent their children from entering the boiled water state-it is difficult to find their own excitement and it seems that they are not interested in anything. Hobbies don't mean entertainment that completely kills time, but they mean exploring attentively, focusing on investment and persisting in accumulation when doing things that interest you. In this process, children can also exercise the abilities and qualities needed for learning, such as willpower, attention, understanding and memory. This will definitely help students make progress and promotion in their studies.
Only by understanding this point can parents learn to "do what they like" and focus on cultivating their children's interest in learning. At the same time, there are a few interest classes, which enrich children's after-school life without taking up too much practice time. For example, your child is 7 years old and has studied piano, English and calligraphy. Now you are considering signing up your children for swimming. The purpose of signing up for swimming is to keep children fit and learn this skill at the same time. Therefore, the study of swimming can be done once or twice a week. If you study every day, it will consume your child's physical strength and make it impossible to study at home. You should know that children's time and energy are limited.
Not everyone is interested in learning as soon as possible!
It is said that "children's education cannot be lost at the starting line", but sometimes it is not a bad thing to start late. For example, it is better to learn strings in the future. Such as violin, cello, flute, clarinet and guitar. Why do you have to study all this late? First of all, children can play the violin and the strings when they are older. Moreover, children need to change their teeth to learn the instruments they play. Secondly, children are young and have no concept of fixed pitch, which is why many parents are worried about "why children have never played a tune after learning for so many years".
