E贝乐国际少儿英语 language experts advise parents not to use coercive learning

Love brings family members closer, and love makes oneself more beautiful. Love is the most beautiful state in the world, and it is the ideal realm that people yearn for and pursue. The greatness of maternal love cannot be embellished by words. In today's society, every mother selflessly dedicates herself to her baby, allowing her baby to grow up healthy and happy.

In an increasingly competitive society, more and more parents hope that their children will be able to stand firmly in society in the future. English, this international language, has become an indispensable tool for external communication for the new generation. Adding this language, such as children's English franchise, is equivalent to having another weapon, making them less afraid of such fierce competition. Unlike the social environment when we were young, many parents now start paying attention to how their children can learn English well from a very young age. This reflects from another angle that society's requirements in this aspect are getting higher and higher.

So, when should one start learning this language, and how can one learn it well? Many new parents are troubled by this question. I am often asked these questions, and therefore, I have seriously thought about these issues. If I were to have a baby in the future, how would I let him/her learn English well? After all, the way children learn English is different from how adults learn it. Speaking of this, I need to clarify one point to avoid being misunderstood. I am not some so-called educator or teacher; I am just an ordinary person who has studied English for many years, studied abroad for a period of time, and received both Chinese and Western education, truly feeling the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western education. Therefore, I have some personal insights on learning English, which may not be unique. This is my first time writing such an article, and also my first time sitting down to seriously think about these issues. If there are any inappropriate parts in the article, I welcome your corrections!

Parents' attitudes need to be correct, and cultivating interest is very important.

Before talking about methods of learning English, the first thing is to correct the parents' attitude. After all, it is you who want your baby to learn English well, and effort is required from both sides. Children are still young and naive. If you want him/her to learn well, you need to know how to guide him/her. Here, guidance does not mean teaching him/her English hand-in-hand. Not every parent knows English. What I mean here is to keep your mindset balanced, with proper tension and relaxation, and then guide him/her on a good path. As long as you do this, the baby will follow your lead.

Many parents have a "expecting their children to become dragons" mentality, hoping their children to become talented early. Thus, they enroll their children in various training classes from a young age, filling up their weekends. A relative's child participated in various training classes, like Sesame Street English classes, art classes, piano classes, dance classes. I once saw her schedule, where her weekends were fully packed, almost without any personal time. At that time, I thought this child might become a polymath in the future. One day during dinner, the child's mother scolded her for not taking the piano grading exam seriously. Seeing her child look unhappy, I accompanied her out for a walk. I said: "It's great that you have such a good opportunity to learn piano, I wanted to learn piano when I was young, but my home was too small to even fit a piano." Unexpectedly, the child burst into tears, as if she had been holding back for a long time. Her tears flowed uncontrollably, and she cried: "Actually, I've always hated learning piano, it's very hard, I wanted to learn violin, but mom didn't allow it." Watching her cry and hearing what she said, my heart ached. Alas, the child has suffered a lot.

Here, I'm not criticizing the parents' actions. Actually, their intentions are good, wanting their children to learn more skills to better stand in society in the future. But they don't think from the child's perspective, not listening to the child's voice, instead imposing what they think is right onto the child. Love, when excessive, is harmful. Everyone knows that if you put some sand in your palm and hold it lightly, the sand will stay peacefully there. But if you clench your fist tightly, the sand will slip through the cracks. Love is the same principle. If you want him/her to follow your feelings obediently, don't "love too hard". If you want your child to learn English well, first, you need to do more perspective-taking, think more from his/her point of view, and don't let him/her feel pressured, don't force him/her to do things he/she doesn't want to do. Try another method to "guide" him/her, and I believe he/she will follow your lead. The role parents should play is not "instructor", but "guide" — guiding the child on the path parents think is correct. How to "guide" well? It starts with "feeling". I believe the best time to cultivate "feeling" is from birth to preschool age. Children at this stage, especially newborns, have very pure thoughts, like a blank sheet of paper, anything written on it will be absorbed entirely.

Cultivating "feeling" is actually cultivating "interest". Learning English is a long process. Only with feeling can one endure and possibly learn well. Here, we talk about cultivating interest in English, the sense of English, also known as "language sense". Regarding the "importance of language sense in English", we need to further discuss "how to cultivate language sense".

Let the child learn while playing.

Besides correcting the mindset, when parents are cultivating the child's "feeling", remember one point — let the child learn while playing. In the child's dictionary, there is only the word "play". They don't know what studying is, and rarely will they sit down seriously to study. They are carefree and playful groups, and under no circumstances should pressure be given to them, otherwise, it may backfire, making them hate studying, and thus making it difficult to cultivate interest again. Designers of toys in both China and the West consider how to integrate learning and play when designing children's toys, ensuring that children are interested in the toys designed while also learning something, thereby eliminating parents' concerns about "only playing and not learning". When cultivating a child's interest in English, we need to consider more how the child can learn English while playing?

Educational toys are an indispensable auxiliary tool. Whether ordinary toys or toys with learning functions, as long as used properly, they can make your efforts twice as effective. For example, if you want to cultivate their interest in English, use more toys related to English. The E-BLOCKS system in Ebei International Children's English is a good educational tool. While teaching him/her to "play" with building blocks, you can also teach him/her the English names of various actions, and even tell stories (in English) according to the book.
