Three stages
1, free-range stage: one or two weeks before the summer vacation.
Just after a semester of intense study and exams, the child's physical and mental state is relatively tired and needs a period of rest and recovery. At this time, the arrangement of summer vacation is mainly to relax, and you can take your children to the playground and travel to cultivate a good parent-child relationship.
2. Captive stage: the middle of summer vacation
This is the longest period of the whole summer vacation, the best stage of children's physical and mental state, and the best opportunity for children to check for leaks. During this period, we can give priority to learning, supplemented by relaxation, arrange work-rest learning tasks for children, and supervise their earnest implementation.
3. Heart-closing stage: Late summer vacation
Half a month before the start of school, I have begun to enter the stage of child acceptance. This period of time is mainly to help children overcome the "holiday syndrome", adjust their work and rest rules and mentality, and let them return to school. At the same time, don't forget to check your children's homework, lead them to preview new knowledge in advance, and help them meet the new semester with confidence.
Five key points
There is a good saying: details determine success or failure. Blindly assign a bunch of summer vacation tasks to children, it is difficult for children to persist, and the meaning of summer vacation will be greatly reduced. If you want to make good use of holiday time, so that children can rest and adjust, but also carry out effective self-growth, it is best to grasp these five key points.
1, let the children make a set of study plans independently.
A father who sent his daughter to Cambridge University in England encouraged her to make her own study plan every holiday. Children may not accept the plans made by their parents. Only by letting children think about their own "learning plan" can it be implemented more easily and lead and urge children to move forward step by step more efficiently.
Goals guide actions. Only when children have the goals and directions they want to work hard can they have a strong internal drive.
2. Focus on cultivating a hobby.
Let children develop a hobby during the holidays, such as Go, dancing, football, etc. It is good for children's learning and growth. More importantly, when a child is doing something he is interested in, his imagination and creativity can be brought into full play, and his concentration, seriousness and perseverance can also be beneficially exercised.
3. Let children feel the hardship of making money.
In reality, many children spend a lot of money and are too lazy to do it every day. They don't know how hard it is for their parents to earn money, and they don't realize the significance of studying hard. Summer vacation is a good opportunity for children to experience the hardships of making money, and it is also a good opportunity to grow and motivate themselves. Don't just let children sit at home and study, let them feel the difficulty of making money personally, and let them better understand the value of labor, the hardships of their parents and the significance of reading.
Step 4 plan a family trip
Children's growth is completed by parents' letting go again and again. Let children learn to solve their own problems in life, make their own decisions, and face any consequences of their decisions on the road. A family trip is the best opportunity to exercise children, and children can become more independent and confident in the process of solving problems and overcoming difficulties again and again.
Step 5 learn a life skill
If a child lacks the ability to live independently and take care of himself, it is difficult to become a strong man in life. We can't take care of children all our lives and teach them some life skills in summer vacation, such as washing vegetables, cooking, boiling water, washing clothes and repairing electrical appliances. Let children really learn to be "self-reliant" and have less troubles and worries in the future.
Seven habits
Educator Ye Shengtao once said, "Good habits are best formed through a long history." What determines whether a child can develop for a long time is a good habit that children develop on weekdays. Using summer vacation to help children develop these seven habits will benefit them for life.
1, the habit of independent thinking
"There is only one way to really train a person, and that is to let him use his own brain."
Tell the child the answer directly, and the child is prone to dependence. Only by developing the habit of independent thinking can children's thinking ability and problem-solving ability be continuously improved. The more you learn, the more refined you are, and the easier it is to learn.
2. The habit of going to bed early and getting up early
Morning is the time when the brain is most awake and focused. Studying during this period not only greatly improves the learning efficiency, but also has no health problems caused by staying up late. We must help children form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Children who go to bed early and get up early can get twice the result with half the effort and overtake in the corner when they are full of energy in the morning.
3. The habit of reading
Recently, Dong, the popular cargo anchor, has also let countless netizens witness the power of reading again. The power of knowledge helps children develop good reading habits from an early age, thus giving them rich souls; Only in this way can children express themselves incisively and vividly, put on invisible wings and fly higher and farther.
4, the habit of preview and review
Almost every top student has the habit of preview and review. Preview can not only help children better understand knowledge, improve learning efficiency, but also exercise their autonomous learning ability. Review can help children consolidate their memories, deepen their understanding and prevent them from forgetting in their studies. Helping children develop the habit of reviewing and previewing is to lay a solid foundation for their study.
5. The habit of practicing calligraphy
I remember someone said, "Practicing calligraphy is practicing heart." Persist in letting children practice calligraphy regularly and quantitatively every day, which not only improves children's test scores and impression scores; More importantly, it can hone children's patience, exercise their concentration, help children develop rigorous and meticulous study habits, and prevent children from losing points because of carelessness.
6. The habit of reading
Some children have difficulties in learning, often because several problems are intertwined, they can't distinguish clearly, they can't understand, and they can't find a way. Therefore, we must help children develop the habit of combing knowledge points and summarizing during the summer vacation. For example, let children sort out their weak knowledge points, classify and analyze the reasons, and practice and correct them in a targeted manner; Concentrate similar problems, sum up the rules and points, and improve learning efficiency. Only in this way can children overcome confusion and laziness and truly master the procedures and key points of the subject.
7. Exercise habits
Brain science research only finds that exercise can release inner energy and anxiety in the body. Exercise can exercise concentration and endurance, and transfer these qualities to study.
Lawrence, a clinical psychologist, also found through research that the levels of serotonin, adrenaline and dopamine will change after children exercise.
Among them, dopamine will keep children in an exciting learning state; Serotonin can help children release stress and improve memory; Adrenaline can help children improve their attention and concentrate more in class. Therefore, helping children develop the habit of exercise is the best gift for parents to give their children during the summer vacation.
