Parents teach their children to think independently.

There are many positions, viewpoints, forbidden zones and conclusions, which leads to the extremely narrow space left for children to think freely in our education. Where to start to cultivate children's independent thinking ability? Below I have collected some methods about teaching children to think independently, hoping to help you.

Teach children how to think independently.

The first step is to respect the facts and abandon prejudice.

This means that you can first distinguish between facts and conclusions, and statements and opinions. Some primary schools in the United States have implemented this kind of education since primary school students. We, on the other hand, need to form this habit, otherwise we can't move on to the next step.

Step 2: Be clear about your own problems.

To be honest, this is almost the biggest obstacle facing China people. In reality, many people's speaking style is completely nonsense, mostly because they don't know what the problem they are facing. It doesn't matter if they don't know People who have been trained in independent thinking are still ignorant and confused here. As long as you remember to get rid of the emotion in your problem statement and make the problem specific and clear, you are likely to get through this.

Step 3: Think under the hypothetical boundary.

Some experts will suggest charts, pie charts and column charts. Because many people are faced with the problem that their brains can't turn around at all. But most people in China don't have the habit of writing papers. It doesn't matter if they don't want it. You might as well go down and take a lap along the first two steps. Once you get into the habit of positive thinking, you will find that you don't know when there will be more pens in your hand.

Step 4: Find a counterexample to prove it.

The third step has a conclusion, and here is the first denial. Any conclusion can be denied. All you need is negative physical evidence. Finally, compare the positive and negative data. At this time, you will find that few things are absolutely one-sided, and only by comprehensively considering the advantages and disadvantages of both sides can you find a life plan with the greatest benefit and the least harm.

Step 5: Team discussion

Of course you don't have a group, but you can always find some friends. Talk to them. At this time, because you have done enough thinking, the problem will be made clear, so that you will not become a dumping pot for complaining about negative emotions and will not be annoying. Only in this case, some suggestions made casually by friends can be integrated into your thinking, correct or even subvert your original ideas, and then slowly make choices that meet your immediate interests.

Methods of teaching children to think independently Part II

1, it is often said that you should try to cultivate children's independent thinking ability first, and first you should have guidance. Often say to children: "Think about it first." Guide children to think independently and encourage them to express their ideas.

If you are in trouble, don't help immediately. When a child is in trouble, you should first let him find a way to solve it himself. Many parents, because they don't like their children to do something wrong, or can't bear to see their children wronged by problems, always help their children solve them at the first time. This will only make children dependent. If you have difficulties, let your parents solve them at the first time. If you use your own brain, you will lack the ability to think independently over time.

No matter how naive the question is, seriously answering the child's question is to respect the child's performance. With the growth of age, children pay more and more attention to their parents' attitudes. Answering children's questions seriously and making them feel recognized will be an encouragement to encourage children to continue thinking about problems. Let children have the enthusiasm and motivation to think independently.

When children want to say something, they won't help them say it immediately. Children learn slowly, and their language skills are still lacking. At this time, you can cultivate his language organization ability by the way. Let children think independently and how to express themselves, killing two birds with one stone.

5. Don't disturb the children's enthusiasm or concentration. Many parents regard their children's serious thinking as a joke. They always laugh at their children like adults and don't take their serious thinking to heart. Serious thinking can make children's brains develop faster. Facing up to children's seriousness is not only a good way to respect their performance, but also a good way to cultivate their independent thinking.

6. The so-called "attachment" that expresses surprise and admiration for the child's "new discovery" brings affirmation to the child and encourages the child to continue to discover with praise and surprise.

7. Teaching children to do things, explaining them in words and letting them repeat them is a process of passing things to their minds, then transforming them into children's versions, and then feeding them back. It can strengthen children's attention and brain awareness.
