​ Introduction to methods to cultivate children's interest in learning

Of course, parents hope that their children will get better grades, so they usually pay more attention to their children's learning problems in life. However, many parents will find that their children are not interested in learning, and sometimes even show signs of being tired of studying and skipping classes. So at this time, parents should pay attention to cultivating their children's interest in learning and let them find that learning is actually a fun thing.

1. Enhance the pleasure of learning and cultivate direct interest. The famous physicist Yang Zhenning once said: He does not agree with people saying that he studies "hard" because he never feels "hardship" in learning. On the contrary, he experiences endless "joy". If learning can bring happiness to children, then children will definitely like learning. The younger the child, the more direct their interest in learning will be. For example: Some children like to draw. It may be that they enjoy painting on paper with colorful crayons and watching the colorful lines extend and expand on the paper, and their thoughts and imaginations also roam and rotate freely; it may also be that the teacher often praises them, even though their paintings are not very good. So, how can we make learning a happy thing? First, give more praise and less criticism. Be good at discovering the strengths of each child. Some parents always say things like "You can't even do something so simple, you just know how to play". They are disappointed in their children, but they don't know that the good steel has been dulled by the criticism. Over time, the children always feel that they are very bad and always make mistakes. They feel depressed in learning and thus hate learning. If the child really does something wrong, of course he should be criticized, so that the child can understand why the adult criticizes him and let him understand the truth. Secondly, let the child have the experience of success from the beginning. Adults should help children master knowledge as much as possible and let them learn from the very beginning. This will not only enhance children's self-confidence but also let them experience the joy of learning.

2. Clarify learning objectives and cultivate indirect interests. The experience of excellent parents also proves that education on learning goals should be linked to children's thoughts and reality, adhere to patient and meticulous positive education, and use vivid and infectious examples and a variety of forms to link learning goals with life goals. Only in this way can good results be achieved. For example, some children are learning to dance. They don’t like practicing basic dance skills and cannot bear the hardship. However, they are interested in the result of learning dance that they can participate in various performances and activities. This interest can motivate children to engage in basic skills practice. Therefore, parents should not only make full use of their children’s direct interests to stimulate their diligent study, but also improve their children’s indirect interests through education on learning goals. The motivational role of interest in activities has been recognized by many psychologists. Swiss child psychologist Piaget described interests as "regulators of energy." Pan Shu, a famous Chinese psychologist, believes that: "Interest is the most realistic and active component of learning motivation." If a child is interested in learning, it can arouse his enthusiasm for learning and motivate him to achieve good results in learning.

Many times, a child's personality, and the way he behaves and deals with things are interrelated with his growth environment and his parents' education. Therefore, parents should also pay attention to these problems of their children, cultivate their interests and hobbies in life, and improve their self-confidence.
