Methods to practice young children’s memory
By the end of this summer, three-year old Su will go to nursery. In this period, she extremely likes to behave like an adult, and often acts against what her friends say. Your responsibility is educating her to become an obedient child via three methods: repetition, mislead and supervision.
According to psychologists, at any age of children, you should not confuse that training goes along with punishment, but guide your children to become obedient. The reason is at each stage, the child will learn different skills and the best training method for him is to help him develop rightly with that stage.
In the period from 1 to 3 years old, you need to instruct the children in accordance with three basic ways: repetition, mislead and supervision.
repetition
In the 1-to-3-year-old period, the child will never sits in one place. You have to repeat again and again what you require from him or her. For example, your kid likes climbing up the table to reach things upon it. You have to ask him many times not to climb up the table until he changes his behavior corresponding to your requirement. Demanding the child to follow instructions in turn is the frequent practice for children of this age.
Mislead
The best way for you is that ignore children’s disturbance and find ways to distract them. Like in the above example, if your kid persists on climbing on the table, instead of scolding him, it’s better for you to pull his attention to other places such as “do you hear a dog on the ground?” or “there’s a sparrow outside the window”…If you don’t agree with something, teach your child by drawing his attention to other things.
Supervision
You should know how to deal with unusual moods of children of this age because they do like saying “no”. They are stubborn and difficult: like playing with toys alone, like choosing clothes by themselves although these clothes are “strange”. At the same time, you need to look after them every time and everywhere in order to ensure they are absolutely safe; since they enjoy doing inverse things without any intention.
You should set your mind relaxed because on getting over this period, your child will be surprisingly more docile and lovelier. There will be a time you will be amazed at the child’s “extremely adult” statements. It is the outcome that parents effortfully train them since their very early years of toddling into life.
