How to develop a child's ability to develop a child's abilities
There are no parents who would not like to be proud of the success of an adult son or daughter, but there are dads and moms who do not do anything for that. If you do not belong to the second, then you should not think about how to develop the abilities of a child in this or that area, not when he goes to school, and certainly not when he will finish it, but much earlier!
Classes in kindergarten
Many parents rely on developing activities in kindergarten. Are they right? Theoretically, a child who attended a kindergarten will indeed be ready for school. Educators purposefully develop the child, teach him to work on the lessons in the team and individually. But this, if you really want to give your child a very good base, is not enough. Few, because it's only half an hour for children between the ages of two and three years;about an hour for kids from four to five;and about two hours for children from five to six years. The rest of the time is reserved for games, walks, meals, rest.
If the parents are not educators and not teachers
We foresee the question of some parents: how can they help their child if they do not have a pedagogical education? It is because of their incompetence that they start the development of the child on their own, hoping only for teachers and teachers. In fact, they can help the child take a serious step forward, and here's what you need to do:
- Read a lot of the child, try to instill in him the love of books.
- Often talk, not only on everyday topics. In the circle of talks include questions that would expand the horizon of the child.
- Do not allow a kid to mess around: take his leisure time useful lessons. Let him draw, sculpt, construct, in other words - "think"!
- To teach the child to be assiduous, to teach him to focus on one particular matter.
- Do not forget to praise him for some "invention", "discovery";encourage his creativity.
The task of parents is to determine what the child is inclined to!
It happens that a child is still in school, and his future profession is already defined. For example, it is obvious that he will become a sportsman, since he already has awards;or he is given excellent foreign languages - as an interpreter;wins on subject olympiads on exact sciences - it is waited with a technical specialty, or, perhaps, a career of the scientist. So it turns out only when parents in time noticed the child's abilities in this or that area and directed all the forces for their development.
Many fathers and mothers, not knowing exactly how to develop the abilities of the child or even how to determine them, rush to extremes: they give the child to all kinds of circles and schools, turn to private teachers - and only themit seems a little. The child receives such a volume of information that he simply can not "digest" it, so much is demanded from him that he does not physically cope with the tasks, and, ultimately, he has no success anywhere! Parents are disappointed: so much effort, so much time, so much money, and the child is not praised anywhere. That is why you should not try to give your son or daughter to the place where "all" go - you have to try to determine what he can surpass his peers, where he will have excellent results.
And the role of heredity here, too, can not be denied. If the parents are musicians - perhaps, the child has an absolute musical ear and in successes he will surpass them. Or one of the parents is an athlete: why should the child not become a successor of the "Olympians" dynasty if he inherited excellent physical abilities?
Mugs, sections of music schools and studios - should they be visited?
Required! And do not repeat after someone from far from the most wise parents: "They will not teach anything!" They will teach, they will definitely teach the child the following:
- Patience and diligence. While other children will simply "walk" in the courtyard, your child will train or comprehend the basics of art, thus outstripping the development of their peers.
- To work in a team. It's one thing to sit at home, where no one will see or criticize your drawing, the other is among peers who do not always make pleasant comments;but they will also be enthusiastic if their friend really does something very well.
- Compare your achievements with others, adequately assess them. As a rule, moms and dads are touched by everything their children show them: drawings, handicrafts, somersaults, etc. The teacher and coach are devoid of sentimentality: they are judged by the results of an exhibition or competition, where it will be immediately clear how successfully the child is doing.
- Strive for victory, leadership in any business. The success of others inspires: I want to emulate them - to become as clever, strong, smart, skillful.
Each child has his own abilities. Parents are left in time to determine them, because some classes have an age limit - you can be late!
