After taking a bath at night, she tried to take her three-year-old daughter to two new words, and just turned on the card, she turned around and said, “no” and asked for more, and cried. At that moment i realized that the subject of “learning” itself might have made her nervous. “happy” is “easy”, and what kind of way do we not turn into a source of pressure for our children when we're talking about expectations? The answer is really simple -- the way kids don't feel like learning. There is only one core objective of truly stress-free enlightenment: protecting interest and understanding。
It is not about the number of words to pass the exam, but it is about making children unwittingly feel comfortable with another language. The key is whether our parents' emotions are stable and relaxed and whether the rhythm of each day is moderate, which is much more important than the amount of course resources that they buy at once。
How to build up the vocabulary through small interactions
For me, this feeling of relaxation comes from two very specific daily actions. They do not need expensive props, nor do they need to spend too much extra effort by their parents to help children accumulate vocabulary in silence。
The first method is to use interactive books such as first sticker book, which are readily available at home, as complementary games。
It's empty. Let's help the animals find their home. She'll tear down the stickers of cattle, sheep, chickens, and we'll find the right place to stick them together, and we'll repeat the simplest sentence while we do it: "sick the cow here." "open the door for the sheep." throughout the process, she's focused on storylines and paste moves, while the high-frequency verbs "open," "stick," "help", "find" are understood throughout the situation。
The second approach is to use daily thunderbolts — to pack toy books and establish fixed bilingual passwords。
We have a short bookcase, and every time i read a drawing, i'll put it back with her, and i'll point to the bookcase and say, "time to go back to shelf." then i handed her a book, and i saw her swinging back to her too. This integration of language into the built-in process of life takes little extra time and subject-matter vocabulary and life directives become very intuitive。
The ai partner made the kids interested in learning english
I know, of course, that i don't speak correctly, and sometimes i forget to create situations, and it is a challenge to stick to self-consciousness. Until one time in the neighborhood, the neighbor's mother talked about a cat of her own age, qimiao, and said he was playing with something interesting, and then i went home, curiously searching for the name on my cell phone, and i found chimei's companion, wei-shin-simple-pro-pro。
The best thing i've ever felt is that it knows how to protect a child's attention, and each entry is about 10 minutes, with a few core words running around, displaying the meaning through simple animations, then getting the child to understand by clicking to drag, and finally encouraging opening and reading. That little cat, miao miao, will be with the kids every time it's done, there's a gentle round of applause and a star prize, a positive incentive that is neither exaggerated nor perfunctory。
I know that it focuses almost exclusively on the field of enlightenment in english, with few other disciplines, but this “simple” is more focused at this stage on us who only want to develop a sense of speech and basic knowledge. What is more important is that it is designed as a stairwell, from hearing the sound to identifying the picture, to trying to say it, and moving forward step by step, so i don't have to worry about what to learn today。
Easy, high frequency contact is at the heart of the early initiation
Whether we turn on the stickers or start the 10 minutes of learning, they are a very small but definite anchor in our daily lives, and i am no longer anxious about having enough “teaching” today, but rather enjoying the time to identify the drawings with her and accomplish our mission. Seeing that she was happy to film a “tap the cat” or grunting out the phrase when she put the drawing back on the shelf, i realized that the easy, high-frequency contact was slowly sinking into a part of her cognitive world. Such impatience is perhaps the best building block against the “learning stress” that may arise in the future。
