To make the Shichida flash cards right brain lesson at home interesting you must have
1. A good variety of topics (a lot of different and unique flashcards)
2. The method of flashing the cards.
Do not continuously flash 100 or more flashcards. Your child will likely lose concentration.
Do not flash different topics nonstop. There must be a distinct pause between topics. This will enable the child to understand the change of topics or subjects.
It is an opportunity for you to encourage, bond, and play with your child (make your lesson fun)
Engaging in Shichida flashcard activities with your child fosters bonding and learning. Fun lessons create a positive environment, encouraging curiosity and enthusiasm. Play helps develop skills like problem-solving and social interaction.
Encourage exploration and experimentation to strengthen your relationship and nurture cognitive and emotional growth. Making learning enjoyable instills a love for learning that benefits your child long-term.
Every flash card topic, pause for awhile and then tell your child with enthusiasm, the new topic your are going to show. If you are excited, your child will feel excited. teach with enthusiasm.
Parents are encouraged to know their child's favourite. For example, some children love picture word flashcards, some prefer math flashcards, some prefer music flashcards etc.
I have tried flashing straight non-stop, but it is ineffective as children will lose focus due to parents, not being hand on or what the child enjoys or already knows.
All senior parents flash by the thousand in one flashcards lesson. Preparing or selecting Shichida flashcards online is more effective than a one-video lesson plan with multiple flashcard topics. One of the main reasons is speed flashing.
Some babies look away when specific topics they dislike or already know are shown to them in a one-video lesson plan. That is why a one-video lesson plan is less effective than multiple single-topic videos. Even in Shichida classes, we have babies looking away from disliked ones or topics seen frequently.
More the reason why home practice is important. In-home practice, you can tailor your child's interest, making your child feel that parents understand them and help build the child's confidence. Communication with your child is the key point even for your babies. I always talk to my baby; the more you talk, the more your baby understands you and the more you can get the home practice lessons going.
Make jokes, have lots of fun and enjoy your child's lesson together. I flash a few topics like 3 to 4 sets, talk to my baby, and resume flashing another new topic but never stop between a topic. Usually, a topic has one title followed by 10 to 15 listings. (communicate with your baby after a topic lesson is completed.)
Once you make it fun, soon it will develop into daily practice, and learning will be fun and fast.
Do not underestimate your child. In Heguru and Shichida classes, they even expose them to the chemical chart to toddlers.
When you support AllBabyStar, I will be able continue to share more of my experience and what I have learned.
