I had a parent-teacher meeting last week and the teacher told me that my child's handwriting was poor. I didn't pay much attention to my child's handwriting in the past. Although I thought it was embarrassing to have ugly handwriting, I signed up for a handwriting class and did my homework. I didn't do any special training at home. When the teacher reminded me this time, I felt that calligraphy practice should be put on the right track. I usually practice calligraphy specifically after finishing my homework after school.
1. Prerequisites for practicing calligraphy
The prerequisite for a child to be able to practice calligraphy well is that he or she is not averse to writing. To be honest, writing is quite boring. It is rare for a child to really enjoy practicing calligraphy, unless it has made some progress and brought him a sense of accomplishment.
At this parent-teacher meeting, a father who is a junior high school teacher said that he likes to practice calligraphy, and his children are also very interested in it. He can write well at a young age. Later, I discovered that the handwriting of the children I was playing with was not pretty, so I started teaching the children how to write. I gained great enthusiasm and their handwriting became more mature and beautiful.
Not every child has a parent who loves to write. Most parents don't like to write themselves, and it's really difficult to guide their children. So I enrolled my child in a hobby class, so that the parents could do their best. After one semester, I found that my child's handwriting had not improved much. So I cried out, my baby's level is only this, please spare yourself, spare the baby.
Of course, there is another kind of parent who refuses to spare himself or his children, such as me. Now, in addition to attending interest classes, I also tutor and practice calligraphy at home. Practice one character every day, practice three rows of rice characters, about forty or fifty characters. I don’t dare to have any requirements on the strokes, but the position of the characters and the length of the strokes should be similar to the characters to be learned. If the writing is not good, erase it and rewrite it. I feel that my child has a fear of writing, so I try to do it last. It would be best if I can skip it. Therefore, because of my high requirements, my child has a huge handwriting problem. This is simply worse than not practicing calligraphy.
2. How to practice calligraphy well
1. Parents should have a deep understanding that it is difficult for a 6-year-old child to write well, and it is normal to not be able to write well.
2. The prerequisite for good handwriting is to hold the pen correctly and sit correctly. I remember when we went to paint during the summer vacation in the middle class of kindergarten, the teacher said that our pen holding posture was incorrect and we had to correct it at home. I bought a set of "Children's Hard Pen Regular Script Techniques" online. The first thing I learned was an explanation of postures. So after a period of turmoil, things are finally on track. Sitting posture is a long-standing problem, but now it finally has some effect.
3. Writing begins with the most basic pen control training. Writing requires strength, and a 6-year-old child does not have enough strength to write. I also saw another way to train strength on Zhihu. Use chopsticks to pick up peanuts, soybeans, and mung beans (from easy to difficult), and transfer them from one bowl to another bowl one meter away. My kids don’t know how to use chopsticks when eating, so I think this method can not only train their hand strength, but also train them to grasp chopsticks, killing two birds with one stone.
4. When practicing calligraphy, don’t start with calligraphy. It is difficult for children. You can start practicing with dot patterns (strokes) first, then the radicals in the second step, the sequence of strokes in the third step, and then the training of the entire character. For primary school students, the first and second years are the beginning stage of writing. That is to say, even if they practice calligraphy in the first and second grades, they must write the simplest characters. In the first grade, writing strokes and radicals is enough.
5. Of course, the most important thing is that parents should not be anxious, but focus on persevering every day and being prepared for a long-term fight. Praising good writing in a timely manner can increase children's self-confidence in writing and give them a sense of accomplishment. It is difficult to think about whether they write well or not. Four months ago, my baby could only jump rope in the long jump style. After these four months, almost non-stop, he can now jump more than 130 meters a minute, and on good days, he can jump 145 meters. Time is the most precious thing in our lives. Please don’t let our parents’ anxiety ruin our children.
