Lane專欄
Learning is a life-long process. As parents, we can’t teach our children to love to learn, but we can creating an environment of support — both at home and at school — in which children can develop their own ideas, express feelings, take chances, make choices, share their opinions, and most of all, grow to be strong individuals.
學(xué)習(xí)本是終生的體驗(yàn)。無論孩子在學(xué)校還是在家，作為父母的我們雖不能強(qiáng)迫孩子熱愛學(xué)習(xí)，但至少可以為孩子創(chuàng)造良好的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境——這樣一來，孩子不僅能自主思考，自由表達(dá)，還敢于抓住機(jī)會(huì)，自己做決定并樂于分享他們的心得，成為堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的“大小孩”。
Surround your child with books
A child who enjoys reading will not only expand their vocabulary, writing, and reading comprehension skills, they will also be introduced to different cultures and concepts. The best way to encourage your child to love reading is to set an example - let your child see you read. Read-aloud before bed time is also an excellent way to introduce your child to the joys of reading.
1. 把孩子“泡”在書里
一個(gè)熱愛閱讀的孩子不僅能拓展自己的詞匯量，提高寫作和閱讀的綜合能力，他們還能接觸到多元的文化和不同的概念。鼓勵(lì)孩子閱讀最好的方式是以身作則-讓孩子看到作為父母的我們也是“書蟲”哦。睡前給孩子念故事也是讓孩子體會(huì)到閱讀樂趣的一種好辦法。
2. Let your child play
Play is the work of children. When children have ample opportunities for open-ended play, they naturally grow their curiosity through investigation. Playing with peers will help your child develop strong social skills including teamwork. As a parent, it is important to adopt a responsive, inquisitive attitude towards yourchild’s play. Help them extend their activities by asking leading questions that encourage the curiosity that comes naturally to all children.
2. 讓孩子開心玩耍
愛玩是孩子的天性。當(dāng)孩子有大量機(jī)會(huì)參與“開放式”游戲時(shí)，他們會(huì)在游戲過程里油然而生出好奇心。和同齡孩子一起玩耍也能很好地幫助孩子增強(qiáng)社交技能，比如說團(tuán)隊(duì)合作能力。對(duì)于孩子的玩鬧，作為家長的我們不妨持有一種積極回應(yīng)和互動(dòng)的態(tài)度。幫助孩子拓展社交活動(dòng)，問孩子一些啟發(fā)性的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力問題，鼓勵(lì)孩子好奇心的成長。
3. Let your child choose what to learn
While some learning is mandatory, a child should be encouraged and supported by parents to pursue their own personal interests. What does your child enjoy the most? Not all extracurricular activities must have an end goal. Encourage your child to sign up for activities like team sports which support social skills, teamwork, and persistence, or art which supports creativity and creative thinking.
3. 讓孩子選擇自己想學(xué)的東西
雖說有些學(xué)習(xí)體驗(yàn)是強(qiáng)制性的，但我們還是要鼓勵(lì)支持孩子追求自己的興趣愛好。你知道你的孩子最喜歡什么嗎？另外，不是所有的課外活動(dòng)都需要一個(gè)明確的目標(biāo)。鼓勵(lì)孩子參加一些團(tuán)隊(duì)體育活動(dòng)——這些活動(dòng)能幫助孩子增強(qiáng)社交能力、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作力、意志力等等。或者鼓勵(lì)他們參加一些藝術(shù)活動(dòng)，培養(yǎng)好奇心和創(chuàng)造性思維。
4. Teach that learning is life long
The element that separates very successful, happy people from unsuccessful, unhappy people is attitude. The top thinkers of our time pushed beyond the classroom and what was expected of them to learn and learned on their own. Soft skills like persistence, optimism, and curiosity prove to be a more effective indicator of how successful a child will be than grades or standardized test scores.
4. 告訴孩子學(xué)習(xí)是終生的體驗(yàn)
成功并且快樂的人與失敗、不開心的人很重要的一點(diǎn)區(qū)別就是——態(tài)度。這個(gè)時(shí)代頂尖的思考者超越了傳統(tǒng)課堂教授的東西以及輿論環(huán)境期待他們學(xué)習(xí)的東西——相反，他們自主學(xué)習(xí)。像意志力、樂觀精神還有好奇心這些“軟實(shí)力”被證實(shí)比標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試下的成績更能衡量孩子的成功與否。
5. Support your child at home
A child needs certain elements to learn. These elements include good nutrition, enough sleep,and a lot of hugs and kisses. By using positive reinforcement tools such as a reward system and really listening and empathizing with your child, a parent is able to motivate without resorting to negative approaches like yelling or punishment.
5. 在家里也要好好支持孩子學(xué)習(xí)
孩子學(xué)習(xí)需要一些必需的條件——包括良好的營養(yǎng)，充足的睡眠，此外孩子需要大量的擁抱和親吻。不妨使用一些正面鼓勵(lì)，比如獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)機(jī)制或者認(rèn)真傾聽孩子說話并擁有同理心真正理解孩子——這樣一來，作為父母的我們就不用使用懲罰機(jī)制或者對(duì)孩子大吼大叫這么傷感情的方式啦。
