Children 1~3 years old (infancy): writing is not recommended. Because the child's finger joints are immature during this period, if the child is required to practice calligraphy, it is easy to cause the child's fingers to deform. In addition, the child has not yet started to read, and practicing handwriting may be no different from scribbling for him, let alone sorting out his writing tools.
Children aged 4~6 (preschool): It's time for children to go to kindergarten. At this time, children can take care of themselves, which is a critical period for preparing for writing.
First of all, childhood is a critical period for the development of brain thinking in images. At this time, we can start with knowing Chinese characters. Let the children look at the pictures, remember the glyphs and read a lot of words. Parents can help explain the meaning of words and let children deepen their memories. It should not take too long to read every time, mainly to cultivate interest, but it can be repeated several times to prevent him from being tired of learning.
Secondly, children in this period have strong anti-mildew ability and strong curiosity about new things, but the disadvantage is that their concentration time is short. Therefore, it is necessary to guide children step by step at this time. This period is the best time to cultivate children's interest in calligraphy. Parents can start from the following three aspects:
1, popularize some calligraphy historical stories, take children to some calligraphy places of interest when traveling, and cultivate children's interest in calligraphy;
2. Try to find one-on-one professional teachers to learn from writing habits, pen holding posture and other aspects, so as to lay the foundation for subsequent calligraphy learning. There are many people in the training class, and the teachers have limited energy. Each child has a different foundation. One to one is more suitable for early learners.
3, encourage more, appreciate more, writing is not quick, talent is important, but it still needs 99% persistence and hard work, so your encouragement is also the biggest motivation for children.
To sum up, about 5 years old is the golden age for children to start learning calligraphy.
