On such a cold day, Japanese kindergarten children can only wear shorts?
Japanese early childhood education has a very high influence not only in Asia, but also on a global scale. Japanese people attach great importance to cultivating children's self-control, independence, and teamwork spirit. The educational experience obtained from an early age can benefit children throughout their lives.
Japan has some very interesting early childhood education culture:
Teamwork Games. Japanese kindergartens hold school sports every semester, but the awards of the sports day are all team awards, and there are no individual awards. They hope that through team honor, children can get value from an early age in the group and grow up to benefit from the team, such activities are aimed at cultivating children's sense of collective honor and developing the spirit of learning cooperation between groups.
Naked conservation culture. Many kindergartens in Japan will let children wear shorts all year round, even in the winter when there is already snow. This is a very unique educational culture that is unique in the world. Some kindergartens will even hold winter endurance running competitions, and children wear shorts and short sleeves to run in winter to exercise children's willpower and enhance children's physical fitness.
Some parents feel very distressed about their children, in fact, people's skin will make a defensive response to cold and heat, and the skin can be properly stimulated by cold and heat to improve this response ability. If you feel heat, the blood vessels in the skin dilate to speed up the blood flow, thereby emitting body temperature; and vice versa. When the skin is sensitively stimulated, the blood vessels will continue to repeat the action of contraction and expansion, after this action is skilled, the human autonomic nerve will be very developed, the autonomic nerve will become exuberant after the development of the autonomic nerve, and the body's immunity will be enhanced. In 2015, a kindergarten in Beijing also followed suit, when a total of 70 children participated in the Beijing Winter Children's Games, and parents were very supportive.
