Science is the most precious gift for children
With the end of the three years of kindergarten life, children will enter a more independent, more complex and diversified learning and living world - primary school. Are parents, friends and dear children ready? Science to do a good job of early childhood articulation is the most precious gift for children to enter school. Today we want to talk to parents and friends from the aspects of "one play", "three taboos" and "five more", how to lay a solid foundation for children to successfully adapt to primary school life.
First, the young child connects a "play" - "play" is a game, the game is life, and life is a game.
Mr. Chen Heqin, a famous preschool educator in China, once said: "Children are born lively and active, they are born with games as their lives, games are the basic activities of young children, for children, games are life, life is games." ”
"Playing" is a child's nature and a unique way of learning. As a parent, we should discover, protect and guide the inherent nature of young children, let children develop healthy living habits and self-care ability in "playing", develop active and serious learning ability, develop social communication and cooperation ability, develop scientific exploration ability full of curiosity and dare to try, and develop creative ability willing to imagine and boldly express. These five abilities are the basic strength and growth force of children, and the key abilities of children to become adults. In a fashionable word, it is the core literacy of children. We want to cultivate children's core literacy in the fun game activity experience.
"Playing" is the way, "educating people" is the goal. We hope that parents should know how to respect, accept, appreciate and encourage children, so as to cultivate healthy and confident children; we hope that parents should understand that children's learning is a whole, and the cultivation of learning quality and learning ability is more important than the accumulation of knowledge; we hope that parents will take their children closer to nature, explore and discover, let children "play middle school", "do middle school", "life learning", cultivate a fresh and rich life, and have the ability to adapt to primary school.
Second, young children connect three "taboos" - "avoid urgency", "avoid more" and "avoid fast".
1. Young articulation "avoid urgency"
In primary school, children will enter a new stage of life, from direct perception, personal experience and practical experience to gradually transition to the formal school stage of book learning and indirect experience, but such a transition can not be too urgent, and the fruits of early ripening produced by the growth of seedlings are not sweet, and we parents understand these truths. Therefore, parents "avoid" instilling knowledge in a hurry, and "should" guide children to pay more attention to habits, skills, interactions, psychology, thinking and other comprehensive quality preparations at the primary school stage, which is also the essence of the early childhood connection.
2. Young articulation "avoid too much"
Kindergarten "primary school" so that children have accumulated a large amount of knowledge such as pinyin, writing, arithmetic and so on before going to school, and these knowledge will be re-learned and fully covered after school. As a result, as soon as he entered school, he was bored with school, ate leftovers every day, and had no nutrition. The comprehensive qualities of self-control, curiosity, concentration, responsibility, courage and self-confidence that children need to develop comprehensively are occupied by a large amount of boring knowledge learning time. If we look at primary school Chinese and mathematics, we will find that many of them require life experience. A considerable number of primary school students can't do the problem, not because they can't read or calculate, but because they don't have a lot of life experience, can't read the problem, and don't know what this sentence means. If parents can follow the laws and characteristics of their children's learning and development, there will be no phenomenon of online parents tutoring their children's homework and collapsing on their own. Because they cannot read or understand, it means that children lack corresponding feelings and experiences, and their rationality lacks the basis of sensibility.
3. Young articulation "avoid fast"
According to the law of educational development and learning characteristics, there are different learning tasks at different stages. If you want to artificially complete it in advance, it is often "fast but not reached". The young articulation of science should be carried out step by step and in a standardized manner through "infiltration" and "gradual" methods.
There is a famous experiment in the field of psychology, that is, the twin ladder climbing experiment of psychologist Gessel. In the experiment, one of the twins, from the 48th week of his birth, did ten minutes of ladder climbing training every day, for six consecutive weeks, and by 52 weeks, he was able to climb 5 stairs skillfully. During this time, the other twin did not train, but did not start practicing climbing stairs until he was 53 weeks old, and as a result, he was able to climb to the top of the stairs two weeks later. This experiment shows that there is an inherent "timetable" for children's development, and education should respect the actual level of children and not violate the natural laws of children's development.
In the micro-video series of well-known kindergarten directors and principals in Anyang City on the "connection between young children and small children", several kindergarten directors used the metaphors of "bamboo growth", "eating apples" and "calves pulling a big cart", which also clarified the principle of following the law.
Third, young children connect the five "more" - "more accompaniment to growth", "more habit formation", "more cultivation of reading", "more attention to quality", "more confidence".
1. Grow up with more
The new education reform put forward a proposition: read together, write together, and live together. The tone is companionship. Parents should also find ways to accompany their children no matter how busy they are, parents and children eat together, talk together, parent-child activities together, communicate and learn all the time. Studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between a child's vocabulary and parents' communication at home. Parents like to talk about politics, and children may be interested in politics in the future; parents like to read, children may like to read in the future; parents always complain, and children may have the emotion of complaining.
When the child first enters the primary school, parents should take time and energy to talk about the life of the primary school with the child every day, and then give corresponding guidance, and listen carefully to the child's gains and difficulties, empathize, and give the child psychological support. Many parents pay special attention to the teacher's evaluation of their children, pay attention to academic performance, and neglect to communicate with their children's hearts. Parental companionship is not only about accompanying children to learn, in fact, companionship is more important to gradually help children build up their independence, autonomy and self-confidence.
2. Form more habits
Mr. Ye Shengtao said: "Education is to cultivate habits, and whether education is successful depends on whether good habits have been formed." "Education is to develop the habit of being curious about the world, constantly learning on your own, and constantly recharging yourself." Kindergartens let children do one thing every month and develop good habits. For example, a small class of freshmen learns to eat this month. There are many habits to cultivate in eating, washing hands before meals, gargling after meals; holding a bowl in one hand and holding a spoon in the other; taking a bite of rice and a mouthful of vegetables, chewing slowly; taking and putting tableware by yourself, taking it lightly; keeping quiet when eating, not picky eating, and so on. Not just etiquette, but there are also many things related to habits. The cultivation of habits is not according to a method, nor is it overnight, and it is necessary to let children develop good habits at once, because in the process of forming each good habit, parents need to spend their hearts and minds to accompany them patiently.
3. Cultivate reading more
Reading is an important source for children to have a rich spiritual life, the seeds of reading are sown in the family, and the cultivation of reading ability, reading interest and reading habits starts from the family. The initial reading is parent-child co-reading, which is read by parents to their children, because children do not recognize words, and reading is more from pictures. Children first learn about the world through pictures. Books not only have the role of value edification, but also the role of healing, what problems children want to solve, there are corresponding books, after reading it is more useful than saying ten thousand sentences of lessons. In the book they learn that "there are always more ways than difficulties." Most importantly, once you have developed the habit of reading in childhood, you will take the initiative to find books to read in the future.
4. Pay more attention to quality
There is an old Chinese saying, "Three years old looks big, seven years old looks old." What is it that can look big at three years old and look old at seven years old? How many words do you recognize, how many mathematical problems you do, and how many Tang poems you read? No. The learning qualities that young children show interest in learning, are proactive, conscientious and focused, are not afraid of difficulties and dare to challenge, which is also the core literacy that primary and secondary school students are advocating. The quality of learning is not the knowledge and skills that children want to learn, but the attitude and tendency of children when they face these knowledge and skills, that is, when learning these knowledge and skills. For example: a child who listens very well and loves to talk, she will not listen attentively to the teacher and listen to her peers in class, we say that the child has the corresponding knowledge ability but does not have good listening quality; a child with small strength and uncoordinated movements often likes to help his mother move chairs, sweep the floor, and take out the garbage. Knowledge and skills that are not acquired can be gradually acquired in the future, and once the learning quality is damaged, it is difficult to make up. This requires parents and friends not to simply pursue knowledge and skills, but to pay attention to their children's learning interests, attitudes, habits and tendencies in the process of preparing for school.
5. Increase confidence
Children from kindergarten to primary school is an important challenge, because the child's learning style, learning habits, learning characteristics, including the requirements of teachers will be very different, for children, this stage of the challenge is not easy at all. After our kindergarten led the children to visit the primary school, they organized a theme talk activity, "Talk about your thoughts, expectations and how to be a good primary school student". It turned out to be particularly interesting, and we came to listen to the children's answers:
"I'm going to elementary school soon, I'm very happy, I can learn a lot of knowledge when I'm in elementary school, I'm very happy!"
"I like to go to elementary school because I can play basketball, I can raise the national flag, I can learn what I can't learn in kindergarten, I can do science experiments in elementary school, because the library of elementary school can read more books, and I can read a lot of books."
"The teacher took us to visit the primary school, and I want to study hard like my brothers and sisters in the school, improve every day, and be a good student."
"When I went to elementary school, I had to sit well in class, listen carefully to the teacher's lectures, write homework carefully, and paste awards all over the wall."
"I want to go to elementary school, get along well with my good friends, don't fight, study hard in class, and go home happily with my good friends after school."
From the children's conversation, we felt that the children were full of confidence in going to primary school, and they felt that primary school life was a new beginning and full of expectations. Even if the environment is different, the teachers are different, and the learning styles are different, the children can adapt and are very confident. What lacks confidence is their parents and mothers, who are worried that they have little knowledge and cannot keep up with primary school. In fact, in this process, we found that there are many very valuable qualities in children, and children are always living in the present. It is precisely because parents have a lot of anxiety and worry, so parents should have confidence in their children, but also have confidence in the education of kindergartens, our kindergartens have spent three years, has been preparing for children's schooling, but also for the children's subsequent learning and lifelong development to accumulate energy.
Parents and friends, "life is a hundred years, standing in early childhood", the preschool stage is the most important enlightenment period in life. Teacher Hao Bin, a famous psychologist, once said: "Family education is the foundation and starting point of the entire education of life", family education is an education that has the deepest impact on a person's life, which directly or indirectly affects a person's lifelong development. Doing a good job in preschool education requires the joint efforts of home, kindergarten and society, let us work together to create a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, follow the laws of children's physical and mental development and education, rationally look at "young children", carefully accompany, scientific connection, give children a most precious school gift, and return children a happy and colorful childhood! Help your child start a great learning journey!
