By chance, I came across an exhibit of the first Maternal and Child Health Exhibition in Shanghai in the 1950s, which is a picture book about the psychological map of children's education.
Unexpectedly, the method of picture books has been adopted in the psychological education of children decades ago.
The use of picture books can better cultivate children's interests, and choosing picture books suitable for their children can help children develop good reading habits and benefit them for life. In terms of the content of this picture book, its concept is not much different from the modern view of "educating parents and liberating children", which makes people wonder that the original domestic educational concept at that time was very advanced and applied to today.
So let's see what exactly is there?
Among them, about life and death, about sex education, there are still many topics that parents can't avoid, at that time, parents have been told that when children ask themselves where they come from, it is an opportunity for sex education, and children cannot be tricked by fabricating stories, and they can explain the problem of fertility with the metaphor of kittens and puppies and chickens. It doesn't have the twisting and pinching look of many educational picture books now, it is very direct.
For example, the explanation of human nature, jealousy and fairness is particularly educational for today's two- and third-child families. Inform parents that they should be fair, do not treat children differently because of their children's age and gender, favor one over the other, and should give each child balanced love in the process of growing up.
For example, about the child's curiosity, give an explanation, the child's growth process due to curiosity driven is not to destroy, but to want to know the source of knowledge of a manifestation, this situation should not stifle the child's curiosity.
A lot of the content is very constructive now, and even gives parents a guide to the direction of education.
Through the form of picture books, the imagination of young children can be developed, giving them a broad imagination space and promoting children's imagination.
It can also improve children's language skills. Increase your child's vocabulary and improve their presentation skills.
It can be said that the parenting concept of that year is not much of a fallacy now. On the contrary, over the years, the education of children has become more and more tortuous.
Think about it, today's children are too fragile to fight and scold, and when they are slightly frustrated, they cry and make trouble, and they want to die or live.
A few days ago, I accidentally saw a child jumping up and down the steps in front of the building, originally as a game, which is understandable, but the mother who was chatting with people on the side found out and immediately stopped it loudly: too dangerous, not allowed to play there!
The child helplessly came down from the steps, with a lack of interest. The actual steps are not high, the child has a good time, will there really be danger? Possibly, but the danger is extremely low, twenty centimeter steps, a total of five or six steps, how terrifying can it be?
The mother's inhibition may really ensure the child's personal safety, but it also stops the child's exploration behavior. But they forget that exploring new things is a necessary stage in the growth process of boys, and it is not beautiful to suppress their courageous nature to explore. If the child really falls, when the time comes to tell him that it is dangerous, the child will be more impressed. Instead of crossing the river like a pony, looking left and right, not daring to practice.
Parents want their children to grow up, but do you want their children to be ponies that dare to cross the river or ponies that are stagnant?
Within a reasonable range, parents can ensure that under safe circumstances, they can boldly free their children, so that they are brave enough to break through, and they will grow more strongly.
