Some of the children we meet in life are eccentric, some are well-behaved, and some are thick and honest...
For children who are thick and honest, adults always feel that children have an honest and sensible personality, which is indeed a good aspect. When children play games and toys with their peers, they quarrel with each other once they disagree, while straight children often do not care. But there are some straight children, not only do not love to worry about people, but also sometimes think too simply, do not understand the meaning of other people's words, thinking and socializing seem blunt.
Before encountering a 5-year-old little girl Xiaowen, her mother described: she has been very well-behaved since she was a child, not like other children noisy and noisy, you see that the first time she came here will not be like other children to engage in west and west, things also recognize a lot, before going to kindergarten small class has been quite adaptable, just promoted to middle class, the teacher feedback that she learned something somewhat slower, not quite keep up with everyone's footsteps, kindergarten children sometimes bully her, beat her, she also seems not to notice, but also has been playing with people, Sometimes she was happy when someone beat her... She's fine, but it's not good to protect herself. Xiaowen's mother was full of doubts and worries.
Children like Xiaowen are also not uncommon, cognitive ability is passable, but the thinking ability can not keep up, so by the age of 3-4 years old, it does not look much different from children of the same age, but at the age of 4-5, gradually will be exposed to some things or things that need to be analyzed by thinking, the brain will not be able to turn, showing the characteristics of learning disabilities.
How to find a child's thinking "straight line"?
You can give him/her a few simple questions and ask him/her to give certain answers
1. Analysis and synthesis
(1) There is a regular picture sorting, look at the content filled in by the child in the blank space, the difficulty of the law can be two two groups, three three groups, four or four groups.
(2) Divide a task series into three or more parts, let the child observe the picture and sort (analyze), tell us what the main idea of the picture is (inductive synthesis), such as: What is the sister going to do?
2. Comparison and classification
At the same time, present several related cards, let the child find out and match the content that has the same points, such as: three pictures, oranges, basketballs, bananas, oranges and basketballs are round, orange, oranges and bananas are fruits, peel when eating.
3. Abstraction and generalization
(1) After the child has the vocabulary of everyday nouns and an understanding of concepts (color, shape, size, category, etc.), let him describe a thing/thing/person, such as: What is the doctor like? Seeing a doctor, helping us with injections, in the hospital, wearing white clothes, you can call 120 to find them, you will see them in the ambulance (you can choose common fruits, animals, clothes, occupations, vegetables, occupations, etc. according to the child's preferences).
(2) Analyze the antecedents/consequences of emotions, such as: You see, what happened to the sister? - Crying. Why are you crying? ——(Combined with his daily life to reminisce and associate, my sister fell, her stomach hurt, she got lost... ）
If the child is in a "straight line" of existential thinking, it is very difficult to "think" of the law in 1-(1) it may be necessary to operate it yourself, and it is even more difficult to complete in projects 2 and 3. Such a child can or try to train his mind to make his head think more.
If the child can complete most projects, even if he is honest in words and deeds, he is also a child with a normal and flexible mind, and he does not need to worry too much.
