How difficult is it for overseas children to learn Chinese? The old mothers who taught their children Online Chinese learning at home expressed their sufferings!
When the teacher is chatting with the parents, I often hear many mothers complain that their children are very resistant to Chinese lessons when they are exposed to Chinese learning.
“Mom, I don’t want to learn Chinese anymore, Chinese is so boring!” “No, I have to go! Don’t be self-willed, be good.” “I hate Chinese!”
Looking at the baby’s red eyes, most mothers dare not say a word to their children at this time, for fear of arousing their children’s rebellion against Chinese; some mothers start to question themselves, is it right to insist on letting their children learn Chinese?
I believe that you who read this article must have encountered a similar situation. In order to escape the Chinese class, the children often fought wits and courage with the old mothers.
From the initial verbal resistance, to pretending to be sick and staying in bed, everything that can be used has been used.
Although most of the children’s tricks ended in failure, there is no winner after a fierce battle.
The child’s idea of “not wanting to learn Chinese” has not been dispelled, it is only a temporary submission to the authority of the parents.
After a long time, children will feel that their inner voice has not been listened to and understood by their parents.
As learning Chinese becomes more and more difficult, children who do not experience the joy of learning will inevitably have stronger resistance.
However, after meeting Online Chinese learning, too many children’s mentality towards Chinese has undergone qualitative changes, from being forced to taking the initiative, from resisting to liking.
Some children cry because they can’t go to class on time because of family affairs.
Although children’s changes in Chinese are inseparable from Sinobus well-designed courses and excellent teachers, parents’ attitude towards children’s learning Chinese is the key to making children fall in love with Chinese.
Today, I will talk about how, as parents, how should we correctly deal with children’s resistance to Chinese.
1.Rebuild self-confidence and identify with emotions.
When your child expresses negative emotions towards Chinese for the first time, don’t rush to get angry, Xiao Wukong will give you a big praise first!
When your child encounters a problem and can speak out on his own initiative, it means that you have communicated very effectively with your child in daily life.
When the child sends out his distress signal, the parents should not immediately get angry or get angry, first of all, they must express their position, we are friends on the same front, not enemies.
You can share your childhood experience: “My mother couldn’t distinguish pinyin and English when she was young, but you are so good at learning, much better than your mother!”
You can also fully understand your child’s mood and encourage them: “Mom understands your mood very well.
Writing Chinese characters is indeed more difficult than English, but you can learn so many Chinese characters in one class, which is really amazing!”
In the process of learning Chinese, children will face one challenge after another. It may be that just because a word is not written well will hit the child’s confidence and motivation to learn.
At this time, parents must help their children build up their self-confidence in learning, and at the same time, from the perspective of their children, find out the problems that need to be overcome at present, and recognize and agree with their emotions.
I believe that after receiving your encouragement, the children will be full of confidence to meet the next challenge.
- Lower expectations and focus on gains
Parents should sometimes reflect on whether they have added extra psychological pressure to their children’s Chinese learning.
Excessive expectations are sometimes the last straw that overwhelms their children’s Chinese learning.
When some parents choose a course, they only choose which institution has the highest knowledge density in the class.
How many words the teacher can teach their children in a class has become an important indicator for some parents to choose, but they ignore that the child can learn in a class.
Understand, how much to absorb. Ignoring children’s ability to bear, and only relying on the wishes of adults to stuff knowledge into children, not only affects the learning effect, but also extinguishes children’s enthusiasm for learning Chinese.
Parents should calm down their children’s Chinese learning, set clear goals, and first build up confidence in Chinese learning.
After each class, write “Baby, how many words did you learn today? Write it several times and don’t forget!” Change to “Are you happy in Chinese class today? You have learned so many characters, how about teaching your mother?”
Now that you have interest and confidence, are you still afraid that your child will not be able to learn Chinese?
2.Interest is getting stronger, hobbies are the most important
The saying “Interest is the best teacher in learning” is a cliché, but many old mothers still have difficulties in cultivating their children’s interest in Chinese.
After all, the child grew up overseas and had neither a language environment nor the motivation to learn Chinese.
How to cultivate a child’s interest in Chinese can be said to be even more difficult.
The mother of Sinobus student Amy used to be one of the many troubled people, and she resolutely refused to go to the Chinese class, which caused her mother a lot of headaches.
Until Amy accidentally saw the ancient costume TV series that her mother was chasing, the architectural style full of oriental charm, the exquisite ancient costumes, and the mysterious and melodious soundtrack made Amy have a strong interest in Chinese classical culture.
Although I often don’t know much when watching dramas and need my mother to translate from the side, but after watching the TV series 3 times with love, Amy can speak many lines following the characters in the drama.
Seeing this, Amy’s mother was overjoyed, and quickly applied for a trial class for Amy. Unexpectedly, Amy agreed this time without even thinking about it. Wukong’s class did not disappoint Amy’s mother, and the class firmly captured Amy’s interest.
Now Amy not only likes to take Chinese class, but also likes to recite ancient poems and sing them out.
I heard from Amy’s mother that, since Online Chinese learning the child wants to learn a national musical instrument recently~
