Why Some Children Keep Going While Others Stop

The day you open a new notebook or start typing practice, you may think, "I'll do this every day." However, after a few days, I forget or feel lazy. If you don't keep trying, it's not necessarily because you're weak.

Continuing effort is often less about spirit and more about building a way to keep going.

Continued effort is small

If you try to do 30 minutes from the beginning, there will be days when you can't do it. If you can't do it one day after another, you'll want to quit. So at first, even just one minute is fine. Type for 1 minute. Write one kanji. Look at one line of the program. The part that is too small will be the entrance to continue.

make visible

Effort is easy to forget if you can't see it. Circle the calendar. Write the number of times in your notes. Save what you have created. By making it visible, you will know that you are continuing.

What you can do today
Choose one thing you want to continue doing, change it to "do it for just one minute," and circle it when you're done.

At Digital Kodomo BASE, we create time for children to gradually come into contact with computers and programming. It is important to make efforts in a way that you can return to rather than starting big.
