My daughter said she wants to get better at it. I'm not very good at this scene. What should I do if I have to do it again? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

My daughter told me last night that she wanted to learn English better. My first reaction when I heard this was, "Wow, my daughter has finally mentioned wanting to learn better."

Then I got stuck. I didn't know how to respond to her question. I realized that I had learned a lot about parenting, but at that moment I became overwhelmed. That was my second reaction. I didn't know how to answer her question. My third reaction was that I couldn't help her. I needed to take a break, to calm myself down, and not rush her to think about what she could do to learn better.

I was filled with trepidation and anxiety as my mind raced with thoughts about how I could put what I was about to say into the best possible words, what my expression and state of mind would be at that moment, and how that would make my daughter feel. I was nervous and cautious as I dealt with my emotions.

After a long pause, I said to my daughter, "I heard that you want to learn English better. I can see that you are not satisfied with your current English learning. Is that right?" She said, "Yes."

I don't know what method is suitable for you. Some people remember by repeatedly copying words or sentences, some people remember by repeatedly reading, some people remember by reading and writing at the same time, and there are many other methods, but your mother doesn't know.

Your mother: I have found that the method that works for me when learning English is that if I hear an English sentence and I can't repeat it directly, I need to look at the words in the sentence I heard, write them down, and store them in my mind using a photo. Then I close my eyes and look at the words on that picture to be able to repeat the sentence I heard. You can try to find out what method works for you.

Now looking back at the whole process, I'm still not familiar with this scene. If I do it again, how would I do it?

When a child utters such an expectant sentence, accompany her without saying anything, and try to guess what has happened to her when she utters such an exclamation. She needs some time to stay in that mood for a while. I also need to slow down a bit. After reviewing the situation, I realized that all my expressions were based on my own worries, and all my expressions were about relieving my emotions.

That's a meaningful moment you've shared. It sounds like your daughter is reaching out for guidance, and it's natural to feel a bit overwhelmed in that situation. Here are the responses:

Kirby Davis A well - informed and well - studied person can make connections others overlook.

It's wonderful that she's showing interest in improving her English. Why don't we explore different methods together and see which one fits her best? We can start with something fun like watching English movies or reading stories.

Clyde Miller When we forgive, we are planting the seeds of peace and understanding.

I'm really proud of her for taking the initiative. Maybe we can create a plan that includes a mix of activities such as listening to English songs, playing word games, and practicing conversations with me or through apps designed for learning languages.

Bronwyn Miller Growth is a journey that challenges us to rise above our limitations.

She's taking an important step towards personal growth. Let's not rush this process. We could begin by setting small goals each week, celebrating her achievements, and gradually building up her confidence in using English.

Sullivan Miller Learning is a source of inspiration.

Her desire to learn better is a great sign. Perhaps we should look into joining a class or finding a tutor who can offer personalized support. This way, she'll have structured lessons and professional feedback to help her progress.
