We often say that "words are like the person they are", which means that the quality of a person's writing can reflect part of his personality. Usually people who write well will also leave a good impression on others.
I often hear parents complain: “Our children’s writing is very sloppy and they are not serious.”
You only see the result of your child's sloppy handwriting. Have you noticed the reasons behind your child's bad handwriting?
Reasons why children cannot write well
1. After writing too much, my attitude changes.
Different from the first and second grade children when they first learn to write, the writing of children after the third and fourth grade becomes more and more sloppy. Because the children were new to writing and were very interested in writing, they were able to calm down and write stroke by stroke. However, when the number of words written increases, the child's interest weakens and he becomes more and more attracted to play, and he no longer devotes 100% of his energy to writing.
As a result, children become more and more impetuous when writing homework. They just want to finish it quickly and play. If they make a mistake, they don't even bother to erase it and correct it again. They just draw it into a black ball, making the paper look particularly messy.
2. Increase in course content
When children are in first or second grade, learning to write is the focus of teaching, and teachers pay more attention to children's writing habits. As the grade level increases, children learn more and more things. Teachers gradually focus on right and wrong when marking homework every day, and no longer pay so much attention to writing, so children naturally relax themselves.
On the other hand, children have to face so much homework every day, and their patience in writing stroke by stroke has long been worn away. Children just want to finish their homework quickly so that they can play or go to bed early, so writing becomes less and less important to children.
3. Misunderstanding of "ligated characters"
The child writes in "continuous strokes", and I teach him, "You are still young, you have to write one stroke at a time, you know? You can't do 'continuous strokes'." The child replied innocently: "But I think you adults all write like this. .Then when I grow up I can continue to write, right?"
I immediately realized that the child might have misunderstood the meaning of "continuous strokes". I quickly explained: "You can't do continuous strokes at any time. Whenever you write, you have to draw one stroke at a time and work neatly. The 'continuous strokes' you are talking about are not called 'continuous strokes', which is not serious." Scribbling". The real "continuous" is a kind of calligraphy, called "running script". The kind of "continuous" is called "cursive". That is something you have to practice specifically in the future. In daily writing, there is no As for "continuous writing", you can only do "continuous writing" after you have mastered "running script" and "cursive script".
4. Written influence
If you open the composition book of a child with scrawled writing, you will find that the writing on it is crooked, not to mention the writing on the scratch pad, which is simply a mess. It is almost impossible to find a horizontal and vertical stroke. The word "LE" is written as "子", the word "arrow" is written as "Jian", the "氪" on the left side of the word "like" is written as vertical, and the " Another stroke is added next to "vertical". There are only fifteen characters in one line of the composition text. On average, two or three characters in each line are smeared into a ball, which looks very unsightly...
Just imagine, if such text is placed in the examination room, no matter how well you write the content, what's the use if the marking teacher can't understand it?
5. Personality influence
Words are like people, and handwriting is a reflection of a person's inner world. If the children have clear separation between words when writing, it means that the child has good judgment and can solve problems independently; on the contrary, if the spacing between words is not clear, it is easy for the child to do things in a sloppy manner and end up in a hurry.
If the font size is large, it means that the child has strong self-confidence, is active in doing things, and likes to take risks. Of course, the font size should not be too large, because if it is too large, the behavior will be exaggerated; if the font size is small, it means that the child is careful in thinking, cautious in doing things, but lacks self-confidence. Heart.
If the child writes stroke by stroke and has a rigorous structure, it means that the child is a "conservative", rigorous in doing things, and has a strong sense of responsibility; if the handwriting is loose and loose, the child is prone to carelessness, casualness, and informality.
How to correct children’s bad handwriting problems
1. Encouragement is important
I remember that when my child was in first grade, he was very serious about his homework every day, writing stroke by stroke. Because of this, I have been praised by teachers many times. But gradually, his handwriting became larger and larger, and became more and more sloppy, often exceeding the square grid.
So I often naughty him and said: "Write slowly, make the words smaller and not exceed the standard, write correctly, and write beautifully." Sometimes I would give him a small punishment, and I would punish him by writing a wrong word three times. But as for him, he still goes his own way, punishing me and writing his own, but it has no effect at all.
One day, I saw my child doing homework, so I went over to take a look. I saw that he was writing the word "scrabble" in a "scrawl", and I said, "You have learned such a complicated word now? Can you?" Can you teach me, Mom?" Seeing the curious look on my face, he suddenly became interested and really started to teach me.
After I finished writing like a child, I said: "Oh, this character is too difficult to write. How can you write it so well? You are so awesome!" When he heard that he was praised, he became even more excited and immediately pulled away. Then I said: "Mom, mom, do you know? I can also write 'impatient' and 'impatient', and I can also write..."
From then on, after the child finished his homework every day, he would take the initiative to show it to me and ask me to guide him on which word he wrote poorly, and he would erase it and write it again.
Therefore, it is important to educate children not to confront them head-on, but to encourage them.
2. Put in more effort
You can let your children practice writing some words every day, and write each word several times. It would be better to write less, but the quality of writing must pass the test. When writing, don't rush to start writing. Let the children first understand the frame structure of the characters and become familiar with the position and order of each stroke. During this process, parents should discover mistakes in time and correct them immediately. After making these preparations, Start writing again. After this process, the children have a more detailed understanding of the words they want to write, and they will naturally feel confident when writing.
3. Write with a “targeted approach”
Writing skills always take some practice to develop. Children must be allowed to write consciously, otherwise the children will write and do other things at the same time, and the words they write will definitely not look good. You can tell your children about the meaning of writing to arouse their interest in writing and encourage them to consciously abide by the rules of writing and practice when practicing. In addition, during the practice process, the Chinese characters must be based on auditory memory and understanding of word meanings in order to be effective.
