In this video, Teacher Chen offers insights and strategies for addressing children's restlessness and lack of focus during learning. The core points are as follows:
Understanding Children's Learning Styles:
The author categorizes learning styles into four types: auditory, visual, reading/writing, and kinesthetic.
Traditional teaching methods in most schools suit visual and reading/writing learners better, while kinesthetic learners are often mistakenly labeled as “inattentive.”
Kinesthetic learners require physical movement to aid concentration and memory retention. Parents should accept and permit appropriate activity rather than criticize it.
Learning Recommendations for Kinesthetic Learners:
Allow children to engage in minor movements during study (e.g., standing while doing homework, touching objects).
Support learning through dynamic methods: recite while walking, release energy through exercise before studying.
Parents should tailor study routines to their child's needs, such as scheduling activity before learning or using games to expend excess energy.
The right parental approach:
Avoid labeling children as “inattentive” or “lazy.” Instead, understand and support their unique learning style.
Help children reach their potential through tailored instruction and supplementary support (e.g., tutoring, personalized learning plans).
Success Stories:
The article illustrates how kinesthetic learners can progress through tailored approaches (e.g., improving from AL5 to AL2).
Twin students demonstrated enhanced focus and academic gains after releasing energy through pre-class exercise.
