Reading is the source of nurturing children's thinking and expression

Hi, remember to pay attention to the flower crumbs~

Tips: This article is plain text, read for about 2 minutes.

I met a friend the other day, and after some exchanges, she said that she admired my daughter's language skills.

Children's language expression ability can be cultivated, but the most important thing is parent-child companionship and parent-child reading, which is the simplest and most effective way to improve the parent-child relationship and improve the child's language expression ability.

More than one friend has said something similar to me or to her dad. If it is not based on fluent and logical language skills, it will not be pulled into the school debate team by the teacher. It's all thanks to the reading habits she developed since she was a child.

I have a little nephew, my cousin doesn't like to talk much, it belongs to the kind of me who says a dozen words and he says a word, and my cousin doesn't like to talk, so the children brought out by the two stuffy gourd-type parents naturally don't like to express. It can be seen that the child's growth environment is very important, and the initial growth environment is given by the family! The child is like a blank memory, no input, how to output.

I once read a book about children's thinking and language. Children's thinking, intuition, logic and expression are directly related. It is the problem of input and output that is easiest for us to understand.

Some scholars believe that the bond that connects all the logical characteristics of the child is the egocentrism of the child's thinking. Egocentrism is genetically, structurally, and functionally self-thinking and directional thinking.

Self-thinking is the innate nature of children, the younger the age, the stronger the self-awareness in children's thinking, this self-awareness is not only transmitted and transformed through the living environment and language environment around them, but also through reading.

Early children's thinking and language are gradually formed in this situation, because children have not yet been exposed to society too much, and it is impossible to have too much social thinking and social language.

Directed thinking is conscious, and it pursues goals that exist in the mind of the thinker. It is intelligent, that is, it adapts to reality and strives to influence reality.

Directed thinking is the subconscious, that is, the goal it pursues and the problem it solves does not exist in the consciousness itself. It does not adapt to external reality, but creates an imaginary or dreamlike reality for itself.

So, sometimes, we may not understand what the child is saying, that is because the child has his own subconscious thoughts and thoughts based on what he sees, hears, and feels, and that subconscious mind is free to come and go. So that's what we call the imagination of children, or the brain hole.

Directional thinking is social. With the development of directional thinking, it will gradually be affected by the growing influence of empirical laws and logic itself. Therefore, children's thinking and language ability are based on the comprehensive output and expression of reading, wisdom and social factors.

Therefore, the function of children's reading lies in the fragmented accumulation and transformation of knowledge. Reading obviously provides a series of materials, children will be based on their own experience and understanding to transform the output, without input, the output will seem a little tired.

If children's thinking and language are based on psychoanalysis, they must initially be self-thinking consciousness, and under the influence of the comprehensive factors of gradual life, learning, activities, and social needs, they are transformed into realistic thinking, that is, the connection between ideals and reality is gradually established.

In short, children gradually establish a connection between learning and use through self-awareness, learning and the people and things around them, so that the relationship between logic, thinking and expression gradually becomes clear.

Based on the fact that their own babies are the most fragrant, parents may not be able to distinguish between children's creative thinking and wild thinking at the beginning. But this does not affect the parents' small pride in their own babies' brain holes and the fun of children's active exploration, and it is best for both sides to be happy.

In this process, we should understand that children's active self-driven thinking forms and language expressions are all fun-driven, and can be understood as a delusion of the satisfaction of the initial desire.

Therefore, parents should take advantage of the situation and slowly guide children to increase their interest in reading, especially in the early stage of fun reading.
