The education that lights oneself, illuminates others, and loves is the future
Do you know? The child is irritable, depressed, and inattentive, and may have suffered from "natural deficiency disease".
Nativity disorder is not a disease that requires a doctor to diagnose or take medication, but a series of behavioral and psychological problems that children have due to the lack of activity in nature.
This concept is a phenomenon proposed by the American writer Richard Love in his 2006 best-selling book The Last Child in the Woods.
This phenomenon is actually becoming more and more serious at the moment when electronic products are becoming more and more popular.
01 A product of natural loss: plastic children
Have you ever found such a phenomenon in your life:
At the party, the adults may still be socializing and talking, but the children, no matter how big or small, have already quietly gathered together, what to do, play mobile games together.
And even at home, you have created a quiet learning environment for your child, but the child may still sit for less than a few minutes and run out, because he can't really be quiet, let alone concentrate on learning.
In fact, many years ago, in the article "Plastic Children" by the famous Taiwanese writer Sanmao, a scene was depicted:
She invited several children to go to the sea together, but she did not expect that the children played games all the way to the beach, and they were not moved, but they said indifferently: This is the sea, let's go back, the cartoon at half past six is about to start.
And a child who has lost his sensitivity and reverence for nature and life, you say, how can he realize the preciousness of life and appreciate the wonders of all things.
As Sanmao said, "These children who grew up in the city have lost the spirituality of nature's talents, have become accustomed to replacing simple happiness with substances, and cannot live in harmony with nature", which is actually plastic children.
A growing number of educational studies have also found that children who are far away from nature have degraded social skills, are more likely to be led by electronic products, and have a harder time concentrating. Lack of curiosity and curiosity, lack of creativity, and even lack of the ability to love.
02 In the era of the Internet of Things, nature education
Of course, this can not blame children, this generation of children, as soon as they are born to enjoy the convenience of science and technology.
Computers, televisions, mobile phones, tablets, the Internet, children live in such an era.
Fortunately, more and more people have realized the importance of nature to children's growth. Even the concept of "nature education" is becoming more and more popular.
This concept originally originated from the French thinker Rousseau, who believed that the nature of children's truth, goodness and beauty can only be stimulated to the greatest extent in the pristine nature. And more and more facts actually show the benefits of nature education.
I have heard the story of a former New Oriental founder Yu Minhong and his daughter.
He took the children to the beach to see the moon, and after watching for a while, the sky was getting colder, and Teacher Yu suggested that everyone go back. But I didn't expect my daughter to say that she still had to watch.
After that, Teacher Yu accompanied his daughter for three hours, and he said that he had never seen her sit motionless for so long. He knew that such a beautiful view must have touched the child's heart.
On the way back, the daughter told Teacher Yu that she found that the world was one. It was found that the sun, the moon, and man were not separated.
This kind of realization, as adults, is actually very difficult for us to have, but it came out of the mouth of a little girl.
Of course, this experience will not be just a momentary realization.
If the child learns the sentence "The tide of the spring river is even with the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea is born together", she will definitely be more touched than others, because she has really seen and experienced such a scene.
This is actually the aesthetics of nature, the ability to appreciate the beautiful.
You said that after seeing the vast sea, the majestic mountains, and experiencing their own smallness, such a child will certainly have more reverence and cherishing for life and nature.
Therefore, natural education is actually a lot of benefits for children. I hope that parents and friends will take their children to outdoor activities.
