If you feel your emotions begin to fluctuate, it is best to stop and take a few deep breaths to calm down. At the same time, think about the reasons for your mood swings, whether it is because your children are uncooperative or your own demands are too high, etc.
Also tell yourself that learning is a long-term process, and children cannot be expected to master all knowledge points at once. You should focus on the knowledge points your children have mastered, which can enhance your children's self-confidence and motivation to learn, and also help you maintain a peaceful mood and attitude.
In fact, when tutoring children in learning, parents need to give their children enough space so that they can learn in their own time and methods. Children also need some freedom, allowing them to think and solve problems on their own, instead of staring at them all the time.
1. Methods to tutor children in learning to control their emotions:
1. Determine learning goals
Before tutoring children in learning, we need to first determine a goal with the child. Clear learning goals and develop a reasonable study plan. This can allow us to be more organized and in control when tutoring our children, thereby reducing mood swings.
2. Do a good job in emotional regulation
We need to learn to effectively regulate emotions when our emotions fluctuate. For example, when we find ourselves starting to get angry or anxious, we can stop and take a few deep breaths to calm down. Or we can regulate our emotions by doing things we like, such as listening to music, watching movies, etc.
3. Pay attention to children's learning progress
We need to always pay attention to children's learning progress, rather than overemphasis on children's mistakes and shortcomings. When we find that children have done well, we can give them full affirmation and praise. This can enhance children's self-confidence and motivation, and also allow us to maintain a peaceful mood and attitude.
4. Use correct tutoring methods
We need to use correct tutoring methods to help children learn. This includes understanding children's learning characteristics and methods, and selecting educational resources suitable for children. When educating children, we need to communicate with them in kind words and ways so that they can feel our care and love.
5. Cultivate a good family atmosphere
A good family atmosphere is crucial to children's growth and learning. We need to create a safe, harmonious, and intimate family atmosphere so that children feel warm and comfortable. When the family atmosphere is good, we can also better control our emotions.
2. Personal experience
When I first tutored my children in their studies, there were times when I went crazy. After all, sometimes I had to teach a question several times and waited until I asked my children to do it again. When I try it again, I find that the child still doesn't know how to do it. At this time, I collapse a little and want to lose my temper.
However, I later learned that this was not the solution. I will solve the problem directly from the root. If the child keeps doing the same question wrong, there may be a problem with the foundation. So I will let the child do some basic questions first to consolidate the child's foundation. Every day after school, I will let the child say Next, I will review what the teacher taught today, and then I will help the child review it again. After the child has almost completed the review, I will let the child do the homework assigned by the teacher.
Over time, my children’s academic performance has improved, and I will not get angry easily. On the contrary, you will feel very happy when you see your children making a little progress every day.
