What are the ways to cultivate children's love of thinking?

Parents all hope that their children will use their brains and become smarter. When encountering problems, children can decide how to do things through their own thinking. Of course, children are not born with the ability to think. In many cases, it is cultivated slowly by parents in life. If parents want their children to think, they should not help their children do everything. Only when children do more things by themselves can they develop the habit of thinking.

1. Cultivate children's interest in thinking

"Interest is the best teacher." If a child has a strong interest in something, he will concentrate his thoughts and attention, and will find ways to overcome various difficulties to achieve his goals. How to cultivate children's interest in thinking? Parents are the children's enlightenment teachers and have a considerable influence on their children. Therefore, parents should infect and influence their children with their emotions and behaviors, and influence their children with their attitudes and interests towards the things around them. At the same time, parents should often ask their children questions to stimulate their desire for knowledge and guide them to use their brains to solve problems.

2. Cultivate children's interest in thinking step by step from easy to difficult

Parents should not make too high expectations of children who do not like to think. Instead, they should start with the most direct and easiest questions based on their children's actual situation, such as comparing the similarities and differences between two things, and then gradually increase the difficulty, allowing children to solve the difficulties they encounter through their own efforts.

3. Integrate the cultivation of children's interest in thinking into their daily lives

Children aged 3 to 6 years old find it difficult to understand abstract theories. Therefore, it is not enough to just preach. Parents should create an environment that stimulates children's thinking and carry out some healthy and beneficial activities to inspire children to use their brains. For example, they can organize family math games, family guessing games, family intelligence games, Mid-Autumn Festival moon-watching parties, etc., and integrate math and intelligence questions into the activities.

4. Take your children to nature and society to experience life and broaden their living space

You can ask questions while observing, guide your children to observe the changes in seasons, the characteristics of animals and plants, and patiently answer questions raised by your children.

5. Use incentives to let children experience the sweetness of using their brains and enjoy the joy of success.

Even if the child makes only small progress, parents should not let it go, but give timely affirmation and enthusiastic encouragement.
