If a person has no foresight, he will surely have immediate worries;

Everything will be successful if it is foreseen, and it will be ruined if it is not foreseen;

There is also a sentence in "Zhu Xi's Maxims on Family Governance": It is better to prepare for a rainy day and not to dig a well when you are thirsty...

These wise sayings have been familiar since childhood, but "knowing" does not mean being able to "do it". When we really face daily life and things, the famous saying is still the same. , the behavior is still the same...

Sharing a story around me, there is a mother friend whose son is already in the first grade of junior high school. Recently, she has been discussing with me: "Should his son also enroll in New Concept English?" She said that she saw that the classmates around her son had good English scores and had learned New Concept, so she also wanted to enroll her son! I told her: "You must first understand the current status of your son's English learning. If you want to improve it, then make targeted choices. Don't do what others do, because you can't afford to waste your child's time. ..."

Why give this example? Because there are too many things in life like "digging a well when you are thirsty".

Parents who have done some research in advance will know that the first and second volumes of New English Concepts cover the first and second grades of junior high school. It takes about 2 years to study these two books. The most suitable time for learning is when children are in the fourth grade of elementary school. They have a certain foundation in English, and then spend 2 years learning the first and second volumes of New Concept English. That is equivalent to preparing for English learning in junior high school. It will help you learn English in junior middle school to a certain extent.

But if the child is already in junior high school, spending another two years learning new concepts is equivalent to repeatedly learning similar knowledge points. In terms of time cost, it may not be worth it.

But this kind of thing happens all the time. Mothers heard that this course was good today and signed up their children for one, and tomorrow they heard that this course was good and signed up their children for another one. The key question is, is it suitable? Does it make sense strategically to sign up for classes like this?

Therefore, especially in the lower grades of children, parents’ vision and strategic thinking are very important. Secondly, it tests the parents’ ability to acquire and judge excellent resources, and then make reasonable decisions based on the parenting goals. planning.

Our Liu Xiaoxuan is 7 years old and in the first grade of primary school. Because I have always attached great importance to Chinese language, I started to do rhyme enlightenment and recite classics since I was about 5 years old. The current language sense of Chinese language and the children's love for ancient Chinese can be seen: the initial enlightenment stage has been passed smoothly, and now it has entered It’s the rapid accumulation stage.

People’s energy is limited after all. Compared with those parents who have more foresight, Li Xiaoxuan’s English enlightenment was a little later, but fortunately, she was still in the golden second language acquisition period of 12 years old, so This year’s strategy is to gradually implement closed-loop learning of English on the basis of a solid Chinese language foundation.

Perhaps when you read this article, you will say, "Liu Xiaoxuan's mother, how "chicken-blooded" you are? Isn’t it hard for children? Haha, friends who know our family, Liu Xiaoxuan, will definitely know that our family is definitely happy to learn! This is also the core concept of my mindful home parenting.

I believe that after 300 days, I will write an article: "How a 7-year-old with zero basic knowledge of English can counterattack the little English master in one year"

The person who shared this article today The original intention is: As parents, what should we pay attention to when raising children? What exactly are our parenting goals? How to happily implement our parenting goals? I hope it can inspire you to think.

Finally, I end with this sentence from "Zhu Xi's Maxims on Family Governance": It is better to prepare for a rainy day and not to dig a well when you are thirsty. With parents' foresight and strategic planning, our children will learn more and become happier, and learn more happily!
