Later, when I had a baby, I really experienced this, and I had a completely different view.
In fact, for most babies with normal intellectual development, it is really not difficult to recite poems at the age of 2. As long as the baby's language function is sufficiently developed, there is no need to force the child to recite. Just read it several times in front of the baby, and the baby will surprise his parents in a few days.
My baby began to be interested in books when he was about 2 years old, and read poems and nursery rhymes to her before going to bed every day. By the time she was 25 months old, she could read the original children's songs except for a few occasional words. She is not interested in Tang poetry, but she can also read more than a dozen of the most classic poems.
And she's just an ordinary baby.
At this time, I discovered that it is really not difficult for a 2-year-old baby to recite Tang poems. As long as you listen carefully to your parents and recite it several times, the baby can recite it himself.
Before the age of 3, the baby's brain is in a stage of rapid development. At this time, the baby's little brain is very flexible and easy to use. For some things that they think are crude, rote learning can also be learned quickly.
But as long as the baby's brain develops normally, the baby has this ability.
Although the baby has this ability, it does not mean that it is a good thing to force the child to recite.
Forcing children to recite will weaken their interest, make them resistant, and is not conducive to their study.
In addition, children's rote memorization does not understand the meaning of ancient poetry, which is not helpful to enhance their interest in the future.
Take my baby for example, because she can surprise me, so for a while, I used a notebook to urge my baby to "read poetry and Tang poetry" every day.
At first, she was very interested, read it with relish and was very efficient. Most of the two poems can be read correctly, some can't read correctly, and some can say a few words.
But by the time she was 26 months old, she began to show boredom. Every time I mentioned "reading poetry", she would say "no".
At this stage, babies begin to like playing risky games, such as hanging upside down, climbing on adults, or jumping.
For babies, this is a growth stage. They can't sit there reading for as long as adults. They are more willing to play games for a long time after discovering their "special functions".
At this stage, their physical behavior ability is greatly improved, and their interest in books is gradually weakened, but when adults pick up books or directly say one of them, they will become very interested.
Therefore, if children want to learn, coercion is not enough. The key is to create a good environment for children. Adults like reading, like reading, and children will slowly like it.
However, this is a step-by-step process, so parents must not worry. The growth of children not only needs these books, but also needs to improve their personal behavior ability.
Finally, I want to talk about how this topic can improve children's language expression ability.
Some time ago, I visited my relatives in the countryside, where the living standard was very high. The annual income of young families exceeds 6.5438+million, and many of them exceed 200,000.
The life happiness index of local people is quite high.
But I found a phenomenon that it is very common for local children to be unable to speak after two and a half years old. Many three-year-old children are not good at expressing themselves, and can only simply "mm-hmm" or simply call people.
The local people are amazed at my baby's language expression ability. A 25-month-old baby can chat with people normally and has a rich vocabulary.
However, my baby's watch is only normal in our community now.
Relatives said that the locals didn't speak so early, and everyone spoke very late.
Careful observation shows that the reason why children talk late is not the problem of children, but the problem of adults. Parents seldom talk to their children, and only yell at them when they are in trouble.
How can children talk early if their parents don't teach them?
Children's language expression ability is directly related to the acquired environment and the guidance of parents, not by talent.
The way to improve children's language ability is simple. After the child is born, the mother will form the habit of talking to the child and guide the child to speak.
In addition, in the process of babbling, when we hear something clearly, we must clearly express it to our children again, and their language expression ability will be improved quickly.
Here, I want to dispel a legend: nobles speak late and can only comfort themselves, which does not exist at all.
When a child's brain develops to a certain stage, it can be clearly expressed, and then it can further promote the development of the brain in the process of improving the expression ability. This is a positive process.
Children's bad speech and unclear expression are not caused by "noble people" at home, but by improper guidance and education of parents.
