Piano, taekwondo, painting ...... it is not uncommon for a child to attend multiple interest classes at the same time. In the summer, many parents enroll their children in such and such interest classes, and then many parents do not know how to scientifically choose interest classes for their children, most parents believe that more art does not pressur ,a morespecializedl skills in the future to gain a foothold in society. However, experts at Mother's University believe that for most children, there is a limit to what they can receive at a certain age.

All kinds of interest classes have their educational value. The whole process of your child's participation in interest classes is a process of learning and development for your child, and not only does he or she have to put in a certain amount of effort, but parents also have to put in a certain amount of energy to cooperate with the education in for to be effective. Therefore, you should take a cautious attitude whenchoosingna ganinterestingt class, otherwise blindly follow the trendand letg your child learn in a way that makes you invest a lot, but with little results. How can I help my child choose an interest class?

Education

First, according to the interests and characteristics of the child to choose

What is "interest"? It is an emotion that the child likes the most and wants to participate in the most. "Need" is the child's requirements for physical and mental development. In addition to their physical needs, children also have a variety of needs such as play, interaction, learning, expression, and aesthetics. Then the class we choose must first be the activity that children are interested in, most like to participate in, and need most. You can intentionally observe and understand what kind of activities your child likes to participate in the most in general. If you don't know what your child's interests are, we recommend that you take a look at Mother's University's "Playing with Children" so that you can understand your child's interests and know what your child's points of interest are. For example, some children sway their limbs when they listen to music and like to imitate actors singing and dancing; some children like to draw and paint regularly. You can make a decision based on his performance and willingness, only if he likes it and needs to participate can he get started and can persist in learning. Never enroll your child in a class based on his curiosity and impulse. Nor should you impose your child's ideas subjectively, otherwise it will be contrary to your wishes.

Second, don't be greedy to enroll your child in classes

Because the energy of your child and you are limited, do not be like some children who take four classes on both days, withoutgiving themm a little free time. This will not only exhaustthatt alsmakeske him not concentrate ontheirs work. It is recommended that you enroll your child in at most two classes.

Parents should not just send their children to interest classes, but also pay attention to their children's learning status, cooperate with teachers to educate them, and supervise their children to practice at home, so that they can not only keep their children's interest, but also participate in learning with a sense of purpose, and get the most benefit from learning.

Third, the interest classes enrolled in the relevant investigation to understand

At present, there are many institutions running classes in society, and the level of teachers varies, so the ability and responsibility of teachers directly affect the development of children. Some teachers, despite their professional knowledge and skills, do not understand the age characteristics of young children and the laws of education and use the methods of teaching college students, so the results are not satisfactory, and some children are bored with school. In such cases, you should find out if the teacher has a background in early childhood education, and you can also find out from kindergarten teachers or parents of children who have attended interest classes before making a careful choice.

Mothers' University reminds parents that they must not follow the crowd when choosing classes for their children. Be careful to avoid putting the cart before the horse, the strange phenomenon that parents areinterestede ind, children are not interested, forced to participate in a class he does not like will kill the child's interest.
