Children want to receive information from the outside world, mainly through the way of watching.
"Seeing" is the most important way for children to obtain knowledge, but how to see carefully and accurately, which is related to the strength of personal observation, the strength of children's observation ability and children's subsequent learning are also closely related, observation is actually an important part of children's intelligence.
Of course, observation is not simply to see, observation should be a process, "view" represents to see, and "view" is to think, want to truly understand a thing, first observe, after observation thinking will produce memory, imagination, so as to obtain knowledge.
Observation can be said to be the basis of all understanding, if the child's observation ability is relatively strong, then regardless of the child's language ability, or learning ability will be more meticulous and vivid, giving people a deeper feeling. Since it is so important to cultivate your child's ability to observe, how should you cultivate your baby's ability to observe? What are the effects of observation on children?
1 Stimulate children's interest
Interest is the best teacher, if you want your child to have a good observation ability, you first need to stimulate your child's interest in observation. Let children like to observe, in daily life, you can let children see more, observe the changes of various things, let children describe the shape, size and color of things, and so on. In short, let the child see more, describe more, think of ways to mobilize the child's interest, so that the child likes to observe.
2 Teach children the correct way to observe
Teach your child the right way to observe, so that you can be good at observation, for example, from different perspectives. Near and far, static dynamic, moving situation to observe the different forms of things, learn how to observe the details of things. In addition to seeing, teach children to perceive things with different senses.
3 Raise your child to observe systematically
Observation activities vary in content, scope, and duration, but they all need to be planned. The effect of no plan must also be bad, and it is not conducive to improving the child's ability to observe. The plan of observation is to know what the purpose of observation is before the observation activity begins, for example, if you want to give the child to make something, then let the child observe the parents to do a demonstration, and you need to let the child know where the focus of the observation is.
4 Make a habit
When the child is at home or when he is out, he can always determine an object of observation and make purposeful observation. For example, observe the color, form, and characteristics of a thing; observe the landscape and trees; observe the buildings on the street. If you want to improve the observation effect, you can also use language to describe while observing, parents and children can also share ideas with each other, discuss, and improve children's observation ability for a long time.
If you want to clarify the purpose of observation, you first need to educate children to establish a sense of observation in their hearts and recognize the benefits of observation for themselves; another layer is to educate children to have a clear purpose when observing things, to know what to observe and why to observe.
A beautiful environment can bring children the enjoyment of beauty, but also cultivate children's temperament. Parents should try to arrange the child's living environment as quietly and neatly and colorfully as possible; babies should contact and observe nature more, which is very beneficial to promote physical and mental development, and take children to the colorful outdoors to cultivate children's observation ability.
The cultivation of children's observation and language skills should be combined. The development process of language ability is actually to understand before speaking, and identifying the name of the object is to practice listening to the connection between the sound and the object, and remembering the items that have been seen. The development of the baby's observation ability is not balanced, each baby also has individual differences, some babies develop quickly, some babies develop more slowly, do not judge whether the child is smart through this.
After observing the things in front of them, children should also inspire young children to make associations, associate other related and similar things they have seen in life, compare the differences, and find out the reasons, so as to help improve the child's ability to analyze problems.
