Learning habits that benefit children

1. Pre-class preparation

Pre-study allows children to connect previous knowledge and bring new questions to class, which allows them to better understand what the teacher is saying. It not only cultivates children's self-learning ability, but also improves their interest and effectiveness in listening.

2. Review after class

The purpose of reviewing is to "review the old and learn the new." The "Ebbinghaus Forgetting Rate Curve" created by German psychologist Ebbinghaus shows that forgetting follows a regular pattern - fast at first and then slow. Things just remembered are forgotten the fastest in the first few hours, and then slower after two days. Reviewing is actually about fighting against forgetting and consolidating the knowledge learned.

3. Solve problems independently

When children have difficulties in learning and ask for help, parents must not ignore or be perfunctory about it. Instead, parents should enthusiastically encourage their children to try on their own. If the child really cannot solve the problem independently, the parents should not do it for him/her. Instead, the parents should patiently guide the child step by step so that the child feels that he/she has accomplished it on his/her own under the subtle guidance of the parents. As long as children taste the joy of victory, they will gain confidence and bravely face the next challenge.

4. Write carefully

Writing is not just a form. Its quality directly affects people's evaluation of the writer's learning attitude, learning quality and even personal qualities. The paper is the face of the student in front of the teacher. The teacher often consciously or unconsciously gives "impression points" based on this. From another perspective, a child who writes carefully is often also serious about studying and many other things. On the contrary, a child who is unwilling to write properly will find it difficult to do other things well. Therefore, paying attention to and making early demands on children's writing can not only improve the quality of their writing and get many good evaluations, but also encourage them to develop good habits of being careful and attentive in everything and improve their overall quality.

5. Take notes and organize them afterwards

As the course content grows and becomes more complex, taking notes helps you stay on top of the key points. If the notes taken in class are rather disorganized due to time constraints, they should be sorted out after class to make them comprehensive and organized. The process of organizing is a very effective process, and it can also exercise your analytical and summarizing abilities, killing two birds with one stone. So you should develop the habit of organizing your notes.

6. Active Learning

Ask your child to prepare a red pen and correct mistakes in exercise books and test papers at any time. The bright red color will deepen the impression of the mistakes in his mind. Then use a notebook to collect these mistakes and record them in the form of a compilation of wrong questions and examples of typos to warn himself and avoid making similar mistakes.

7. Actively read and write

Reading is the main way for children to acquire knowledge. Parents should encourage their children to actively read and absorb extracurricular knowledge extensively on the basis of repeated reading of textbook contents. Parents can buy relevant books and subscribe to newspapers and magazines to create material conditions for their children's reading. Remember to let your children develop the habit of observation, thinking and reading, while also being diligent in writing, such as writing reading notes, book reviews, movie reflections and diaries. This process is not only a training in the use of language and writing skills, but also a rigorous training in cognitive abilities such as observation, thinking and imagination.

8. Be organized

You need to arrange time in advance to do homework for each subject, put away study supplies regularly, store books in a certain order in your schoolbag or on the desk, etc. If things are not stored in a regular pattern, you will have to look for them everywhere when you need them, which can easily affect your mood for learning. Similarly, if you are not organized when doing your homework, and are haphazard, your learning efficiency will definitely not be high.

Developing a habit is not something that happens overnight. It requires parents to cultivate their children's children's patience, set requirements and plans, and check and supervise them frequently until good habits are gradually formed in their children.
