“You never know your parents until you become one yourself,” the saying goes, and it rings especially true when your child enters 6th grade, a transitional period full of changes. Many parents lament that their children suddenly become “lazy” and “unwilling to study.” So, how can we reignite their passion for learning? This article on HỌC LÀM will share tips to help parents support their children and turn learning into a joy.
Understanding the Psychology of 6th Graders
Entering 6th grade, children not only change their learning environment but also face many psychological and physiological changes. Increased academic pressure, new friendships, and first crushes all contribute to a complex psychological landscape. It is crucial for parents to understand and share with their children. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huong, an educational psychology expert in Hanoi, emphasized in her book “Adolescence – Parents’ Worries”: “Listening and understanding is the golden key to opening the door to a child’s soul.” Take time to talk with your child and find out why they are losing interest in learning. Perhaps they are having difficulty adapting to the new environment, the curriculum is too heavy, or they are simply engrossed in a new hobby.
Tips to Ignite a Passion for Learning
“Learn while playing, play while learning,” our ancestors wisely taught. Turn learning into a fun game, integrating knowledge into everyday activities. For example, when learning about history, parents can watch documentaries with their children, visit museums, or even act out historical characters. For math, apply knowledge to calculating household expenses or measuring and crafting. As Mr. Le Van Thanh, a renowned math teacher in Saigon, often says: “Mathematics is not dry; we just haven’t found a fun way to learn it yet.”
Building an Ideal Learning Environment
A quiet, tidy, and well-lit study space will help children concentrate better. Decorate the study corner with your child’s preferences to create a comfortable and exciting feeling. In addition, arranging a reasonable schedule, balancing study and rest, and play is also very important. According to Vietnamese spiritual beliefs, placing the desk in the right direction, according to age, can also bring luck and favor in learning.
Accompanying Your Child on Their Learning Journey
“One tree does not make a forest, but three trees together make a high mountain.” Parents should not put too much pressure on their children but rather be their friends and companions, overcoming learning difficulties together. Praise and encourage your child when they make progress, even the smallest. Remember that each child has their own strengths and weaknesses. Comparing your child to others will only make them more self-conscious and discouraged. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Thi Mai Lan, in her book “Educating Children the Jewish Way,” shared: “Nurture your child’s passion, ignite their potential, and success will come naturally.”
