| It has been proved that a child’s social(交际的) development has a deep effect on his progress in his lessons. Children who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind others and have a great chance of stopping school. In the early grades especially children should be encouraged to work in groups rather than alone so that teachers can spot those who have problems making friends and then do with it. “When children work on a task”, says Education Professor Lillian Katz from University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to cooperate(合作), to take turns. These skills can’t be learned in class. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills.” At certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation(关系) to others. For most children, school is an entirely new place, outside world. Just as the 1-year-old children learn to walk, the 6-year-old children are working hard to meet their parents’ wishes. “Young children don’t know how to tell the difference between hard work and ability,” says a researcher of early childhood education. “If they try hard to do something and fail, they may decide that they will never be able to finish a kind of task. The effects of comparison（比较） such as putting their marks on the wall can be serious”, says Hills. “If a child’s confidence（信心）is broken, he needs special help.” |
