Recently, I came across a series of knowledge posters from "Children's Psychoeducation Charts".
I went to check it out and found that it was published by Shanghai Xinya Bookstore in 1952.
This set of posters from 66 years ago has no long explanations, no obscure theories, and no stories with profound meanings.
It is to use the most simple language to describe some of the common educational problems in life.
The educational concept in the poster, in my opinion, is not outdated even now. It can even be said that it can still benefit parents a lot.
Now, let's take a look!
01
Questions about rawness
"Mom, where did my brother come from?"
"Mom, where did I come from?"
At this time, it is an opportunity for sex education, and children cannot be deceived by fabricating stories, and the metaphor of kittens, puppies, and chickens can be used to explain the facts of childbirth.
It turned out that there was already sex education at that time, and it also emphasized that you can't cheat, but in reality? The previous generation told us that it was "picked up", and this generation told the next generation that it was "playing games", and there was no blood relationship between the three generations of the family?!
"Sex education" is not shameful, don't wait for the baby to be hurt and then regret it.
02
The question of death
A child is afraid of the dead or asks questions about death, and you can tell him the facts according to his intelligence, and metaphorically say: flowers and plants will die, birds will die, and death is the cessation of life.
The word "death" is taboo in many people, so in our education, we have been absent from the lesson of "death", but in fact, to explain death to children positively, it is also to explain to them the meaning of life and love.
For this question, I like an explanation from the American Psychological Association:
Death means that a person does not feel anything, does not feel hunger, thirst, fear or harm, but it also means that we can no longer see them, but the memory of them can be preserved in our minds and hearts forever.
Death education is also the education of love, and reverence for life is a compulsory course for every child.
03
About bravery and fear
Broken skin bleeding does not cry pain, from an early age to have courage, do not let him be afraid of high or climb away from the narrow board, do not let him cower and do not work, do not let him fear the dark.
In fact, this picture I understand is not to force children to do dangerous things, but to tell parents not to overprotect their children, not to let children give up when they encounter difficulties, to cringe when they encounter challenges, and to only cry when they have difficulties
Bravery is also a compulsory lesson for children.
Dai Wangshu's "Dream Seeker" writes:
Go and ask for a priceless treasure.
In the blue sea, in the bottom of the blue sea, there is a golden shell hidden deeply.
You go and climb the iceberg for nine years, you go to sail the Han Sea for nine years, and then you meet the golden shell.
Children with enough courage can face the challenges and failures of the future, and can go forward bravely and finally harvest the "golden shell".
04
About jealousy and fairness
You cut the melon, you have to average; after cutting, I will divide it; everyone is fair, so that you are not jealous.
It is really a very fortunate thing to have a sibling who can know each other, two people grow up together, share happiness and troubles together, and when their parents are old, they can also support each other and walk through one journey after another.
But children are not born to love each other, but also need the care and guidance of parents, and "fairness" is the most important premise.
Don't ignore your child's feelings, don't cultivate "siblings" into "enemies."
05
About compassion and love
Encourage children to love animals, exert compassion, and nourish normal emotions.
Compassion, in the current popular term, should be "empathy."
Being understood is the deepest appeal of everyone's heart, ten thousand "I love you", not as good as a sentence of "I understand you".
Children with good empathy skills can well appreciate the thoughts and emotions of others, touch the softest places in the hearts of others, and use their kindness to help others.
There is no harm in having more compassion for children, it is worth it in the world.
06
About curiosity
The child does not mean to destroy, but just wants to see what it looks like after it is torn, give him a substitute, and let him satisfy his curiosity.
Curiosity is the nature of children, which is a rare quality that does not require great effort to cultivate, and all we have to do is to protect this "curiosity".
Treat children's questions gently and be naughty, and with them, while walking and watching, asking and talking, slowly unveiling the mystery of this world.
Curious with your children, explore together, is it not good to go back to childhood again?
07
About imagination
Children are imaginative and sometimes make up stories, a 3 or 4 year old says I have a big airplane at home, is he lying? Not!
Writing this, I would like to share a few imaginative little poems for mom and dad:
Lights put the night
Burned a hole
At night
I walked with a flashlight
When you're tired, use it as a crutch
I was carrying a beam of light
Winter time
One of my teeth fell out
Spring is here
My teeth sprouted again
These are all written by children, and the youngest of them, the poet, is only 3 years old.
Albert Einstein said:
Imagination is far more important than knowledge
Because knowledge is limited
And imagination
Encapsulates everything in the world and drives progress
Imagination is the source of the evolution of knowledge
The imagination of the child Pegasus Starry Sky makes the world more colorful, and also makes his life infinitely possible.

About parental love
Children must not be spoiled, nor can they not be loved, moderately care for children's physical and mental health, like flowers and plants with rain and sunshine, thriving.
For children, of course, we must love, but love must also pay attention to methods.
When they are ignorant, we give them unconditional love and care, so that they are full of security about themselves and the world;
And when they begin to understand things, we must also help them establish the correct three views, and we cannot blindly indulge.
Parenting is really the hardest profession in the world, because you can't do anything perfect, but in fact, we don't need to be perfect, because we will grow and bloom with our children.
