About the Author:
Kunkun--Tang Yuan's mother, a second-born mother who has just returned to the workplace, can share dry parenting goods in a serious way, and can also funnyly spit on German life, you deserve attention!
I think I haven't written a kindergarten story for a long time, and if I don't write it again, the stories that have rippled in my heart will turn yellow.
Let's start last week.
With the gradual liberalization of the epidemic policy in Germany, the long-lost kindergarten tour will finally open in May in the spring. Of course, the scale is not large, only in the class where Tang Yuan is, three teachers + 20 children's group.
On that day, the parents each brought some delicious food as promised, and the excitement of the children was all on their faces.
When I participated, I was very emotional, because of the epidemic, this kind of gathering was suspended for two years, and now it is also the last year of TangYuan.
In the kindergarten, she happened to be assigned to Teacher D's group, managed by the only male teacher in the kindergarten, and the doubts about whether Tangyuan was good or bad at that time had been answered after several years.
"I'm going to decide my own business"
I still remember the first year of the conversation when I was promoted to the senior class, teacher D came to me and talked about the need to improve Tangyuan, that is, he observed that Tangyuan was more unsystematic and listened to the opinions of another playmate in everything.
To this end, he also specially used a game to train Tang Yuan's courage to say no, and this game was taken home by Tang Yuan to train us.

▲ Photos of kindergarten party
The picture above is a photo of our garden party, do you recognize the protagonist of this article?
Teacher D is dressed in black all year round, black T-shirt and sunglasses are his standard, as a maverick male kindergarten teacher, placed in the crowd, you think he is more like a big grinning uncle, commuting to work is a humble bicycle.
Two years have passed since the last conversation, and Tang Yuan has changed a lot in expressing his opinion.
Just three days ago, on the way home, Tang Yuan pouted and protested: I think that on a certain day, I can decide everything about myself.
And this decision bestimmen word, Tangyuan in German!
I couldn't help but "shake the tiger's body", and suddenly listened to this request a little beyond the maturity she should have at this age!
Under careful questioning, Tang Yuan continued to complain: At home, it is always Mom and Dad who decide various things, and I don't like this. I wish I could decide when I would do what I would do, not by my parents.
In the face of this "super program" requirement, thinking back to a conversation of Teacher D that year, it is not surprising to think that under the influence of D-style training in the past two years, Tang Yuan has indeed begun the road of independent wings.
Tangyuan became the "teacher" of the kindergarten
There was also a small episode at the garden party that day.
▲ The food that everyone brings with them at the kindergarten visit
In the interval between everyone's self-help cake, a strange mother came up to me and asked, are you the mother of ** (tangyuan)?
I was still quite confident about Tang Yuan's performance, so I nodded my head and wanted to hear what others wanted to talk about.
"Our children came home to talk about the life of the new class, always mentioning what Tangyuan took him to do and what he helped, and we always thought that Tangyuan was a teacher temporarily transferred from other groups to help."
Later, I asked other teachers about the baby one time, and I learned that the tangyuan in his mouth was your baby."
The mother praised How Tang Yuan can take care of people and was especially kind to her children when they first integrated into the new group.
A lot of details in the middle, I listened like an outsider, listening to the story of someone I didn't know.
I know that Tang Yuan has always taken good care of the second gingerbread, from the birth of gingerbread to the present, she has taken the initiative to take care of her brother, and the two have never torn up. (Really!) ）
Although I knew that my baby's performance in kindergarten was different from that at home, I never knew that Tang Yuan was as considerate of other small children.
It is true that after the second child, I can spend less time with the boss alone, and my understanding of the growth of the boss is a bit lagging behind.
This six-year-old girl is indeed not the child who needs my care everywhere!
The ability to take care of oneself has skyrocketed
Before the epidemic, there were three groups in the kindergarten (3-6 years old), and 60 children were mixed. After the epidemic until not long ago, mixed play was cancelled, and each group could only arrange its own activities.
Teacher D's teaching style is a bit like the curly hair teacher in "Magic School Bus", there is always an endless stream of small creative games, like to explore and take the children to study different things.
▲ Photo display of class outing
For example, take a child to study the objects around you with a magnifying glass, such as a child's hair, wool thread, Christmas tree needles, apple cores and other debris, and take pictures to wash them out.

On the door of the classroom, he posted a nameplate, "Chaos Research Center," and humorously teased the noise in the class.
And there's a special one, maverick notice --
Lao Tzu was not happy, Lao Tzu took the unicorn to play in the sky! (See figure below)
▲ Teacher D is naughty again
The most daily activity is to play board games, every time I pick up the baby, I see him playing board games with children waiting for parents to pick up.
He recognized the teaching of multimedia equipment, and took the initiative to use the software on the iPad with the children, including various photo memes, and even printed them out and put them on the wall for everyone to see.
This incident has caused some controversy in our parent group, and a few parents who are more conservative about electronic devices have complained.
He is also a person who likes the outdoors, after all, during the epidemic, outdoor activities are still relatively safe. Under his initiation, the frequency of Tangyuan class outings is the highest in the whole park.
Once breakfast time is over, it is common for the whole class to go to the free playground near the kindergarten, and there are regular 1-2 times a week to go to the forest hike.
Every Tuesday is the time for the class to move and fix the Ausflug outing.
Parents should prepare raincoats and rain pants for their children, suitable size hiking bags (small school bags are not enough), water bottles are filled with water, and the lunch class teachers will prepare uniformly and put them in each child's backpack to share the weight.

Do you think the outing is in the park meadows? NO NO NO。
This teacher D never takes the usual road, especially in the large rural area of Germany, where it takes more than 20 minutes by car from the city to reach the forest country.
If it rains, the baby who came back from the outing that day was muddy from head to toe.
At last year's parents' meeting, Teacher D gave us a small video of their outing, all the way is a mountain road, encountered a very steep slope, coupled with the rainy road slippery, the babies are one by one wearing rain pants directly down, encounter a more timid child, the teacher will lead a little, and the two teachers are in front of and after, to ensure the safety of the baby.
▲Kindergarten people have a necessary rainproof pants (there is also another one at home)
The benefits from this are immediate, and Tangyuan has been much more independent in recent years.
She can walk very well with a small hiking bag, and on the Easter hike, she is on par with the hiking strength of other boys.
In the summer, tuesdays change to swimming. So I can often drag my baby to swim now, and it is also the courage given by Tang Yuan, who can wear and undress independently and take care of himself throughout the bath.
Controversial D-style parenting style
In the past three years, I have to say that under the unique parenting style of Teacher D, the growth of Tangyuan has exceeded my expectations.
As a teacher D's teaching style, the parents in our class also have mixed reviews, and even many parents have great opinions.
For example, some parents complain about the unsafe use of public transportation during the epidemic period with high infection rates;
For example, a class is out for two consecutive days, and some people think that the physical exertion of children is too large;
For example, even if it rains lightly on an outing, the teacher does not cancel the plan;
Another example is that some parents are worried about the problem that their children's outings are too simple to eat and nutrition is not enough;
▲ The parents in the class group discussed it very fiercely every time, and I also admired that in Germany, everyone expressed their ideas very directly and did not hide
If the perfect score is 100, I will give Teacher D a score of 99.
