A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 13 4 Make Your Children's Words Logical
If you divide the children who are in the language learning period into two groups, one group has contact with their father, and the other group has no contact with their father, you will find that the children who have more contact with their father have an advantage in language expression.That is to say, Dad let the child learn to speak some complete sentences.

Talking seems to be something that will happen sooner or later, and many fathers don't think they need to care too much.But behind the words, it is actually the growth of children's logical thinking ability.If he is good at talking and thinking quickly, he will not only have an advantage in speaking, but also be methodical and have strong thinking ability when doing other things.

But in the life of children, they often have more conversations with their mothers and less communication with their fathers.Some fathers don't talk to their children very much because of their own personalities. For children in early childhood, this is tantamount to a waste of resources and a loss.

Generally speaking, men have strong rational thinking, are more rational on some major issues, and have a long-term perspective. This is manifested in the logical and logical language of their speech, which has a strong progressive relationship.Dad's simple words are a good learning model for children. They will follow up with the same logical sentences and gradually improve their logical ability.

Because of this, fathers need to pay attention to several issues when their children are in the language learning period. Fathers whose children have passed the language learning stage can also check these aspects and combine their children's current language expression ability.

[-]. Let the children maintain a happy and curious heart

We often make fun of people who "parrot" because they don't think and copy what others say.But when we teach children, we often let the children learn to parrot in an urgent state of mind.In fact, the child does not understand the meaning of the language at all. If he is asked to repeat some tones that he does not understand, it will only make the child feel nervous and painful, and lose interest in learning the language.Therefore, fathers and mothers should cooperate to find out what the children are most interested in, and talk more about the things the children are interested in.Dad should also maintain a relaxed and happy expression and mood, and can't regard himself as an instructor.

[-]. Accept your child’s distractions
It is very common for young children to be distracted while studying. The key is how to guide the child and avoid bullying or reprimanding.When the child is not cooperating in learning, the best thing for the father to do is to say nothing and continue the game by himself, pretending not to notice that the child is distracted.If the child does not cooperate at all, loses his temper, etc., the father can leave the room for a few minutes before continuing. The worst way is to pack up all the toys and end the game when the child is mischievous.

[-]. Speak complete sentences by yourself

"Come on, let's ride in the car." This is a lot of mothers.What grandma often said, few fathers took the initiative to talk to their children like this, but sometimes they followed their mothers and said these incomplete sentences.This is actually not good for the child's language development.Adults may think that overlapping words reduces the difficulty for children to understand. In fact, children need the same ability to understand any new words. "Car" and "car" are the same for him.If the father can express accurately, the child will also imitate this formal way of speaking.

Of course, the father speaks for the child to learn the language, not to give a speech.So don't talk to yourself, and don't ask too many questions.

Four, persevere

Dads should insist on long-term dialogue with their children. They can't just talk when they are interested, and stop talking if they are not interested.It is best when the child is most energetic and focused, so that the learning effect will be better.

[-]. Record your child’s progress
If you can't see your child's progress for a long time, it will affect the enthusiasm of parents to teach their children.In order to avoid this, I suggest that Dad also be a caring person and record the nature of the vocabulary they use, whether it is a noun or a verb, whether it is a word or two words, whether it is a phrase or a sentence.In this way, the father can have an overall grasp of the child's progress and mastery.

Generally speaking, children with higher language intelligence have some special performances, such as: liking to listen to stories and nursery rhymes; being good at imitating other people's voices and languages; Can read and read picture books independently; is good at remembering names, places, dates, and trivia, and can easily retell stories in full; always asks questions about words, sounds, or names of things, such as "What does this mean?" Likes to play word games, is good at understanding riddles and jokes; likes to scribble and write, etc.If the child performs well in these areas, the father should encourage the child to continue to develop in language, talk to him more, tell him stories, or help him choose some suitable books.
