I remember when my daughter was on her 2nd birthday, my grandmother who retired at home asked her daughter what birthday gift she wanted, and her daughter blurted out: "Stickers"!
"I have no less than 100 stickers at home, so let's get another gift!" The husband said to his daughter;
"I don't, I'm going to paste the painting," the daughter said, shaking her grandmother's leg;
"Okay, I'll send you stickers," Grandma said;
Subsequently, the grandmother really sent a set of stickers to her daughter, and after the husband saw it, he said with dissatisfaction: "Grandma is really honest enough, the child said that he wanted to paste the sticker, he really sent the sticker."
"It doesn't matter what gift you give, the most important thing is that the child likes it," I said quickly;
"The set of stickers I sent, although not valuable, can cultivate children's concentration, observation and attention. There are often mothers in the parent group who say that their babies can't sit still, and the stickers are specialized in treating spiral butts," Grandma said retortfully;
Listening to grandma's words, the husband did not say anything, and later, the daughter came back from school every day to play with the grandma stickers, sitting for a while, the little ass porcelain is very solid.
Later, after going to kindergarten, he was praised by the teacher many times, saying that the child was very independent in school, dressed, drank water, and wore socks to do it himself, and his concentration and language expression ability in class were very strong. For example, the same game rules, the teacher can remember once she says it, and some children may not be able to understand it if they say it 3 times.
The husband looked at the teacher's praise and said very confusedly, we did not deliberately cultivate the child's concentration? At this time, Grandma said confidently: "All thanks to the stickers that you can't see, the stickers look like pure play, in fact, there are university questions hidden, and there are many advantages for children", in this regard, Grandma shared her 4 points of explanation and method.
01, can provide interactive scenes
Every time the grandmother played with her daughter to play with the stickers, Pino's mother found that her daughter was very focused, and the visual, auditory, and tactile senses were all focused on the content of the stickers.
Grandma will generally tell the rules to the child first, and then let the child observe, find the appropriate sticker, tear it off and paste it, during which unless the child seeks help, the grandmother will sit silently next to it and will not speak; after the child is pasted, the grandmother will guide the child to observe the content of the sticker, and then describe it in her own words.
A page of sticker content, the grandmother and daughter will tell several stories respectively, it can be seen that the sticker provides an interactive scene for the child and the grandmother, invisibly, but also improves the language expression ability.
02. Cultivate children's concentration, understanding and observation
Training children's concentration is mainly based on active concentration training, not passive.
Grandma explained that many children can sit intently for half an hour watching cartoons and playing games, but when it comes to reading books and writing homework, children can't sit still.
The reason is that children watch cartoons and play games are passive concentration, rather than active concentration; but playing stickers is different, it belongs to active concentration.
In the process of playing with stickers, children need to understand the scene of each page of stickers, understand the matching of stickers and scenes, such as an apple tree, you can not paste an orange, you need to paste the corresponding apple.
For example, in the "Find Socks" sticker, the observational game designed for children allows children to help Fawn Huihui find socks and asks the baby which two socks are a pair?
The seemingly simple sticker game actually allows children to have a pair of contrasting concepts in the game, knowing that socks appear in pairs.
After guiding the child to find the socks, you can also instill the concept of classification in the child, such as which socks have stripes? How many pairs or how many pairs of green socks are there? The whole process of playing with stickers, children must be very focused.
03, the opportunity to instill knowledge
In the process of playing with stickers, explaining knowledge to children, children will be very easy to accept, which is the so-called "scene teaching".
For example, deliberately teaching children the pinyin alphabet, children may learn slowly, even if they know each other at the time, they may forget it in the blink of an eye. But it's different if you look for stickers, such as the page "Letters on the Building" in "Concentration Stickers".
There are many capital letters hidden in the three buildings, guide the child to find and paste, the child will know which "A" is, and which "B" is? You can also remember "A" and "B" and know the difference between the two letters.
Because the repetition of the sticker is relatively high, there may be letters in other scenes, and the same letters appear in different scenes, which will deepen the child's understanding and memory of the letters.
04. Exercise hand muscles
Daughter from the age of 2 began to play stickers, at first cut the stickers are very difficult, often nails are split, paste is also crooked, 2 months later, it is much more skilled, can easily tear off, paste.
In the process of playing with decal paper, the hand needs to carry out repeated actions such as holding, pinching, pressing, etc., and over time, the hand muscles have been well exercised, which is very good for learning to hold chopsticks and learning to hold a pen.
At the same time, the hand is the second brain of the human body, the more hand stimulation, the better the child's brain development, the smarter it will grow.
Through my grandmother's insights, my husband and I were both enlightened, especially my husband, who had more admiration for my grandmother.
Grandma usually told me and my husband to choose a certain amount of knowledge for the children, otherwise it would be blind play.
At the same time, companionship is also very important, first of all, parents should know how to play, will make the child more focused, and the second is to do not disturb, the child in the process of playing stickers, parents do not hand over food for a while, will pass drink, to let the child focus on the sticker.
Strange to say, my daughter used to love to watch cartoons, and since she started playing stickers, my TV has not been turned on for a long time.
Here, if you have 2-6 year old children at home and want to cultivate concentration by playing with stickers, you can try my daughter's favorite set of "Children's Concentration Stickers".
The design of this set of stickers is very in line with the psychological development of 2-6-year-old children, very close to life, and children are also very familiar. In the familiar scene sticker, it is conducive to the child to recognize things, solve problems and hands-on stickers to improve children's concentration and understanding.
This set of sticker books, a total of 16 volumes, contains 192 life scenes, based on advanced children's teaching theory, so that children can subtly learn 16 major abilities in the process of playing stickers, such as language, mathematics, emotional intelligence, life, concentration, observation, comprehension, etc.
Seemingly simple sticker games, in fact, in the examination of children's various abilities, children in the process of playing, need to rotate the small brain, in the hand, eye, brain coordination, in order to play out.
This set of stickers and picture books, a total of 3080 exquisite stickers, a large number of stickers, let the children play at one time. Daughter Pino has played with no less than 8,000 stickers so far, even if it is repeated, she can have fun and play very attentively.
All in all, the set of "Children's Concentration Stickers" sent by the grandmother to her daughter is very cost-effective in terms of knowledge content, functionality or quality texture. Choose it for your child, yes, have fun and exercise concentration, and most importantly, make the old mothers' ears clean a lot.
