How to captivate a preschooler: choose circles and sections
The founder of the studio “Fidgets” Elena Pingjoyan told healthy-food-near-me.com how to identify and develop a child’s talent, and also warned against mistakes that parents often make when choosing a circle.
Most parents, when a baby is born, begin to think about his future. Many people paint in their imaginations vivid pictures of the brilliant career of a young prodigy, but, as a rule, they see what they themselves dreamed of and for various reasons could not bring to life. So my first advice is to try to understand what your child is more interested in, what is interesting and closest to him, and not you!
How do you recognize talent? Invite your baby to prove himself in different activities: draw, sculpt, dance, sing, read, design. The more you offer, the more choice he will have. If he has made up his mind, try to support his favorite pastime: find teachers, take them to a circle, pick up the necessary literature or video.
Do not ignore your child, try to give detailed answers. If you yourself are not competent in some matter, do not hesitate to turn to the Internet. And the best way to get your little one’s attention is to read the encyclopedia together. Still often, preschoolers like to duplicate the actions of an adult. So do it all together!
When choosing a circle or section for a child, a very important component is the personality of the coach or teacher. Try to find out more information about the person: talk with the parents of his pupils or with adult children who have been studying for more than a year. Even if your kid is very gifted, for example, choreographically, a few uncomfortable lessons are enough, when the teacher could not find mutual understanding with the student, and all the desire to dance will disappear. Watch this. You cannot teach anything by force. You can train, but there will be no soul in it. And from each lesson, from each business, you need to get pleasure and positive emotions. Only then will there be an amazing result, and the little student will have an incentive to go to classes, achieve results and move forward.
In “Fidgets” for the smallest, for example, classes are provided twice a week for three hours. Children learn solfeggio, intonation and choreography. Our classes are held in a playful way.
Solfeggio, so that children develop hearing, rhythm, musicality, begin to understand musical notation; intonation for understanding the basics of vocal skills; and the choreography is given to train the body, to develop coordination and rhythm. In addition, the choreography is great for liberating the child. Our teachers have their own approach to each child, each has its own teaching methodology, which has evolved over twenty-five years.
At the end of the academic year “Fidgets” always give reporting concerts for parents and their loved ones. This practice has developed in the studio for a long time, it perfectly motivates every young soloist. After all, the most offensive for a child is not to be included in the concert program.
Study, study and study again
We are often asked what to do if a child really wants to sing, but cannot. I can say one thing: everything needs to be learned. The main thing is to have a desire. Fidget students know that success requires 98% labor and only 2% talent. I advise parents to be as attentive as possible to the hobbies of their child. Do not force against his will.
If the baby comes home and tells you that he no longer wants to go to this or that section, be sure to talk to him about it. Do not do not deliberate actions. You need to understand why or because of what he lost the desire to attend a certain circle. A child is like thin glass, if you do something wrong, then you can discourage the desire, for example, for vocals for life, and then you will not glue the fragments of your undertakings in any way.
The best motivation for a child is a good example – show him how professionals work in his creative field, if this does not help, then it’s time to captivate the child with something new. And if the eye lights up, a strong desire appears, then it means that you have found the key to the baby, but not through the “must”.
I am absolutely sure that there are no untalented children. Every child is different. Give your kid only the opportunity to choose, and everything will work out!
