Gifted Education Classes

Many educational institutions have launched extensive advertising campaigns in order to promote business growth. Commitments such as “After 3 days, children will become proficient in playing the piano” or “After 1 week, children will become proficient in drawing everything” are made to attract the attention of parents. In reality, the results of these classes are not outstanding.

For the learning and development process of children, adhering to each stage of development is more important than forcing them. Enrolling children in these classes can disrupt their active learning. Furthermore, classes labeled as training “prodigies” often have extremely intensive study programs. This can affect the natural development of children’s brains and their overall growth.

Therefore, instead of allowing children to participate in these classes, Professor Ly Cai Can suggests that parents should cultivate their children’s reading abilities and their love for reading books. This will significantly determine their learning capabilities.

Classes with Unclear Teacher Qualifications

Most parents want their children to develop comprehensively. Therefore, they spare no expense in enrolling their children in numerous classes. As a result, educational institutions have sprung up to meet the demands of society.

However, parents need to choose licensed training institutions with teachers who have relevant teaching qualifications. Only then can the safety of the children and the quality of their education be guaranteed.

Currently, due to a shortage of teachers, some training institutions are willing to hire individuals without the required qualifications or teaching experience. This directly affects the learning outcomes of the children.

Therefore, parents should look for reputable classes and ensure that the teachers’ capabilities are transparently disclosed, providing peace of mind and trust.

Classes Not Suitable for Children’s Interests

According to Professor Ly Mai Can, more than 90% of parents pressure their children to participate in classes that align with their own interests, under the guise of wanting their children to excel. Many parents sign their children up for classes or subjects that attract public attention without consulting their children’s opinions. This is not encouraged because it not only wastes money and time but also increases pressure on children when they have to strive for excellence in an area they do not enjoy.

Parents need to understand that the right path to education is not participating in expensive classes or studying popular subjects. The most important thing is to provide children with a proper and suitable education that aligns with their abilities.

A professor from Stanford University once said that paying attention to early education and accompanying children is the most effective investment in life. For children, accompanying them is more beneficial than participating in classes based on their interests, especially for sensitive children aged 3-6.
