At what age is it better to immigrate to America?

Immigration is getting hotter and hotter now. According to statistics, the primary reason for nearly 80% immigrant groups to choose immigrants is for their children's education. Let's talk about how old the child is. It is better to immigrate to the United States.

Educational immigration is one of the main reasons for the increase in the number of China applicants who choose to immigrate to the United States. According to the BBC, the result of this choice undoubtedly reflects the traditional educational thinking mode of China families-everything is for the children. However, when paying a high price, coming to a strange environment, starting a new life and trying to integrate into the local society, will parents reflect on whether it is worthwhile to educate immigrants for their children?

Immigrate for children

In China, children are faced with the shortage of various resources and the resulting competition before they are born. With the arrival of the post-80s baby boom, it is not easy for expectant mothers to find a bed in a well-known maternity hospital to give birth smoothly. It is often necessary to dredge the relationship between hospitals and make various arrangements in advance to ensure that there are beds for children to be born smoothly. Otherwise, you can directly pay a high fee to stay in a private hospital to solve the problem.

After the baby was born, various problems followed, and various concerns about milk powder purchasing, air quality and food safety stumbled all the way. Only when I was promoted to kindergarten did I find that even going to kindergarten had to pay tens of thousands of sponsorship fees.

Needless to say, the sponsorship fee for key primary schools is 10 thousand yuan a year, which is not small until the children graduate from primary school.

More importantly, children's schoolwork burden and the pressure of further education are very great. Although the first and second grades of primary schools in China have lightened the schoolwork burden, the endless classes after class have evolved into a part of the skills for further studies, not just for hobbies.

In this way, the burden on children has not been alleviated at all, and parents accompanying various cram schools often struggle between work and taking care of children, feeling stressed.

In this case, many parents have no choice but to emigrate for further study.

Help children adapt to America.

How to help children better adapt to American education? How to reduce cultural differences, quickly integrate into American society and school life as soon as possible? Several things that parents should do well:

1 Let children learn to think independently.

The advantage of American education over China lies in its emphasis on students' critical thinking, independent thinking, creativity, problem-finding and problem-solving ability, which will be a difficult transition for China students who are accustomed to the teacher's answer as the only answer.

2 Be a man and do things in a standardized way.

The United States is a country with freedom of thought and orderly behavior, and the norms of schools are quite different from those of China. Most schools in the United States violate school rules, which may lead to serious consequences. So parents should help their children understand the rules and standards of American schools.

3. Cultivate children's independence

Relatively speaking, most American children are more independent than China children, which is related to the upbringing of American parents. Parents in China should learn to let go slowly and let their children learn to explore and experience themselves in a safe situation, so as to cultivate their independence.

4. Establish children's civic awareness.

Civic education is one of the important courses in American primary schools. American children have a deep awareness of protecting the environment, not infringing on the interests of others and giving back to society since childhood. This concept is relatively lacking for China people.

What is the best age for children to immigrate?

Scientists have found that according to the structure of the brain, people can learn fluent foreign languages before 9- 1 1 years old. At the same time, according to a study by Deakin University and Monash University in Australia, English fluency affects the future salary level and promotion potential of immigrants, and English fluency is closely related to the age of immigrants. Immigration experts from Australia, Canada and the United States said that the earlier they immigrate, the better their children's future development prospects will be.

According to the research, the English fluency of children aged 9- 1 1 is the same as that of children born locally, while the English level of older children is not very good on average.

For example, brothers and sisters from immigrant families in China, brothers and sisters who were five years old when they immigrated, and brothers and sisters who have reached 15, come from the same family and have the same parents, but the average English level and workplace income of the former far exceed that of the latter.

According to the research, people who immigrated before 1 1 years old have much higher occupational income than those who immigrated after 18 years old with the same background, as high as 15%. Living abroad before the age of 1 1 will help children master English fluently and make their future education and employment smoother.

Although it cannot be generalized, from the analysis of the above research results, it is more appropriate for children to emigrate before 1 1 for the sake of faster language learning and future career path.
