More often than not, parents expect their children to be taught the most important things at school. Yes, when it comes to certain disciplines, but there is something that parents should take on. Our educational system is now going through hard times, focusing more on passing standard exams like the OGE than on the really necessary skills. Tlum. Ru will tell you about 7 things that should be taught to children in spite of school. This is not bad advice from Grigory Oster, but something that most of today's teachers do not have time to tell and cannot because of the system itself. 1: Don't Be Afraid of Mistakes Some children become overly stressed by mistakes they make. The equation is not considered so, the letters in the sentence are confused and, in addition, they may not receive emotional support from the teacher at the required level. This is why total perfectionism is absorbed into the subcortex, which can greatly interfere in adult life: after all, we regularly make mistakes in various little things, and nothing catastrophic happens "Fairy Patrol": for the girls Baba Yaga is like an aunt, when the girls had a little mischief with Morok (he was in a different essence), the sorceress was not upset and encouraged them. Solution: show by your own example that nothing terrible happens from mistakes. Help your child understand that a mistake is the same bump in life, every person fills them. And in learning, mistakes are helped when they are understood and helped to correct, so there is no need to be afraid to do something wrong. Yes, and the expression "by trial and error" is not just entered into the verbal circulation and for a long time stuck there. 2: Thinking with your own head This is about critical thinking. If the teacher claims that the sum of two twos is equal to four, then it is better to check it yourself. When they say that there is only one method of solution, what happens? A slight slowdown in progress, scientists can fight over unsolvable equations for decades until they are illuminated. "Kitty-Dogs": in Max's family, everyone is smart and constantly invent something. The kid himself, while the elders were solving the problem with a huge hole in the road, preferred to approach the solution in a different way and filled it up. Solution: develop critical thinking in the child, show the same optical illusions (there are enough demonstrations on the Internet, some of which can be made at home from paper), discuss what the child sees, show how everything really works. Here it is important to start from the first point - let the fear of mistakes become weaker, then the variety of thoughts will increase. 3: Try different things Many parents are of the opinion that they themselves can choose the right sports sections, mugs, clothes, toys and everything for their child. Calm, do not do this, especially when your child is already at school and begins to discover an even greater variety of the world around. "Smeshariki": how not to be afraid to try different, the heroes show in the series of issues "ABC of Professions". So the advice is useful for adults about children and themselves. Solution: do not want to go to the art? More annoyance from the pool with bleach than the joy of a new medal? In general, do you want a change? Let their child, because a little man who was raised in strict frameworks, in adulthood, can drive himself into them on his own and not get the right amount of joy and pleasure. Support and encourage, any undertaking has a chance to develop into a real hobby. 4: Don't memorize How, then, do you cope with assignments in school? Soulless cramming helped out more than one generation of schoolchildren, it was only necessary to try, repeat the text (or formula) so many times that, as they say, bounced off the teeth, and voila. Is this approach reasonable? Ideally, learning should be fun, not painful because of the inability to remember everything the first time. Yes, and memorized information from the head will quickly fly out, because of which its usefulness will approach zero. "Fixies": DimDimych's dad does not forget to teach his son various things, for example, he says that you can go to Africa only after receiving the required number of vaccinations.: it is important to be able to correctly search and process information. Does your child have trouble memorizing a verse, even if it is perfectly rhymed? Let him find the history of the creation of the poem, listen to a musical composition (the poems fit perfectly into the music - it's not a secret), sketch lines in visual images-puzzles and rest a little, be distracted by something in order to return later. The advice does not work the night before the lesson, there are two options: memorize or get a deuce. 5: Developing Your Own Personality Standard school practice is to be like everyone else. What does it mean? Dress like classmates, listen to the same music, get carried away with the same thing? Or should there be some differences, not a thin, but quite clear and visible line, beyond which the student is not one of the many? Of course they should. Becoming one of the masses (even if it is not gray) is a direct path to losing yourself. "Three Cats": the characters of the animated series are constantly trying something new: skateboard, drawing, table tennis, in general, their parents do not limit them in any way in entertainment that helps to better understand your own I and what you like and what you don't. Solution: it is worth listening to the child and his needs, not forgetting the first and second points, which are successfully part of this - the fifth. Help the student navigate and tell stories from your childhood, even if you play the role of a black sheep there. The color of a crow does not mean at all that it is worse than others. 6: Asking Questions The period of "why" after many years, parents perceive with delight and warm joy. By the way, he does not leave us later, does not go anywhere as he grows up. Only the essence of the questions, their depth, changes, which means that it is worth choosing the right formulations - sometimes adults cannot cope with this. "Orange Cow": Mom Korova taught the children to be polite first of all (when looking for berries), and only then ask questions - an important point. Solution: Help your child to articulate thoughts clearly, watch how you ask questions yourself and, most importantly, how you answer them. At school, the teacher says: “everything you need to understand the material is written in the textbook,” but your child doesn't think so? He shouldn't be shy about asking questions. This is also a good test of teachers - how they answer and whether they answer. 7: Separate tasks The school is full of different tasks, lessons, difficulties and other confusion. Many children can simply "break" under the amount of material. It is important to take this point into account and not overload the child with additional worries like sections. Everything should be in moderation. "Heroes of Envell": the characters in the animated series are well aware of how to divide a big problem into parts, so that each of them works on a solution in the area in which they are best versed. Solution: teach your student to divide any problem into subtasks. So it will be easier to assess the scale of the "catastrophe" and understand that the devil is not so terrible as he is painted - that is, there is nothing impossible. It is worth evaluating your strengths sensibly and do not forget about rest, the same breaks between lessons exist so that the student takes a breath, and does not run to the next lesson and begins to delve into other material without a pause. Life lessons happen to us everywhere: at the school desk., at home, on vacation. Sometimes you may not have time to realize that something like that happened, all this will come later. Remind your child that you, too, were once (and still are) a student, and now you can play a great role as a teacher outside of school. Let everything work out.
