How to train children to adapt to local life after immigrating to the United States

1, cultivate children's thinking ability.

The United States attaches importance to students' critical thinking, independent thinking, creativity, ability to find and solve problems, which is the strength of American education. Therefore, when children transfer to American schools, they should get used to the fact that teachers don't always teach you how to do it, but want you to think about what you should do. The teacher doesn't always give you the answer, but asks you to find it yourself. It will be a difficult change for China students who are used to the teacher's answer being the only answer.

Children should be made to take responsibility and bear the consequences. In the United States, if you rely too much, it will be very hard both academically and socially. Parents can slowly learn to let go, let their children learn to explore and experience themselves in a safe situation, and cultivate their independence.

4. Establish children's civic awareness.

Among the courses in China, there are only courses on political thought, but no courses on civic education. But civic education is one of the important courses in American primary schools. The school will take students to know their own environment, understand the impact of their actions on the environment, and establish a sense of giving back to society. Therefore, American children have a deep awareness of protecting the environment, not infringing on the interests of others and giving back to society since childhood.
