How to help small class children enter the park smoothly
The child left the familiar family environment and relatives for the first time. Because of their young age, immature body and mind and weak adaptability, most of them began to live in the park because of crying and parents' worries. The inadaptability of children entering the park makes parents feel worried and anxious, which seriously affects the healthy development of children's body and mind. Therefore, at the beginning of entering the park, helping children adapt to kindergarten life as soon as possible has become the primary task of teachers. Make preparations for children before entering the park, and distribute questionnaires to let teachers know about children. On the eve of admission, when parents fill in the admission registration, they will issue the Questionnaire on the Basic Situation of Freshmen's Admission and the Questionnaire on Children's Family Situation, requiring parents to fill it out truthfully. Through the questionnaire, teachers can know the children's personality characteristics, family education, self-care ability, etc. in advance, so as to carry out targeted random education for children and prescribe the right medicine according to each child's personality characteristics. Hold a class parent-teacher meeting, and everything will be happy at home. Through the parent-teacher conference, on the one hand, teachers should introduce the relevant situation of kindergartens to parents, including the educational objectives, contents and forms of kindergartens and the work and rest system of children in kindergartens, so that parents can gradually adjust their time and synchronize with kindergartens, so that children can adapt to the future kindergarten life more quickly. On the other hand, teachers ask parents to actively guide their children, make them look forward to kindergarten life, and make psychological preparations for their children to enter the park. Introduce parents to the possible emotional manifestations of children in the early stage of entering the park and the measures that can be taken to guide parents to adopt correct and effective educational behaviors, stabilize children's emotions and reduce anxiety. Create a family class environment. Before freshmen enter the park, teachers should first carefully decorate the activity room, create a novel and childlike environment according to the age characteristics of children, let them have a sense of participation, enjoy the happiness of kindergarten, and guide children to interact with them, which is particularly important for new children. In addition, teachers should pay attention to sufficient materials to reduce the phenomenon of "competition" among peers after entering the park; Create rich corner areas, such as book area, doll area, art area, toy area, etc. Create a fairy tale world for children, let children feel the kindliness and warmth of kindergarten during play, divert children's attention, let children's emotions get sustenance, and relieve their separation anxiety. Home Linkage Alleviates Separation Anxiety When children enter kindergarten, they should change from family life to kindergarten collective life. Teachers should let parents know about kindergartens, let parents actively cooperate with teachers, and let children adapt to kindergarten life more quickly. Parent-child activities make children familiar with and love kindergarten. When children live from a familiar environment to another unfamiliar environment, there is no process that is impossible to adapt to the fear of unfamiliar stimuli around them. Teachers can organize parent-child activities before entering the park, so that freshmen in small classes can get familiar with teachers and peers before entering the park, and urge them to look forward to the coming kindergarten life. Shorten children's time in the park in the early stage. After communicating with the leaders, teachers can try to change the previous practice that freshmen start to live all day after entering the park, and try to let individual children go home for a nap two weeks before entering the park, so that they can have an adaptation transition period, shorten the time for children to leave home, dilute the anxiety of separation and gradually transition to normal life. Keep some original living habits. A remarkable difference between children from home to kindergarten is that the rules of behavior have changed. Originally, life at home was irregular and random, but now we should restrain ourselves (in kindergarten, some rules and requirements of behavior are indispensable). For those children who are not too restrained, there will be some discomfort when they first enter the park. In order to ensure that children keep a happy mood, teachers should allow children to temporarily maintain some original living habits at the beginning of entering the park. For example, some children like to sleep quietly with a small towel on their bodies; Some children like to sleep with dolls in their arms, and we all take care of them, and then gradually establish a code of conduct after their emotions are stable. In this way, children will gradually adapt to kindergarten life, and crying will be relatively reduced. Parent-child activities lasting for one month. Because there are obvious individual differences among children, they will show different degrees of adaptation to the park. In view of this situation, teachers take parent-child activities as a breakthrough, and design a set of parent-child activities with rich content and various forms for different stages (morning, middle and evening) by observing children's adaptability to entering the park. Teachers can use weekends to carry out parent-child activities, which is of great help to shorten children's anxiety about entering the park and lay a good foundation for the smooth development of education in the future. Parents' garden builds communication platform. At the beginning of children's enrollment, communication between parents and teachers is particularly important. Teachers can use the class's parents' garden to design colorful columns. "Children's World", "Today's Star" and "Information Feedback" ... a small piece of heaven and earth is the bond connecting home interaction. Through their careful design and ingenious conception, teachers fully expressed their painstaking efforts, and also condensed their care for children, and also played a positive role in helping children successfully pass the "second weaning period". Careful care enables children to integrate and reshape maternal love as soon as possible and establish a new attachment relationship. To alleviate freshmen's anxiety of separation, we should start with helping them establish an "attachment relationship" with the new environment. Psychologists generally believe that attachment is an emotional connection in an individual's early life, and it is a positive and affectionate emotional connection between a baby and a caregiver. Only children who have established a sense of attachment can have a sense of security, trust and courage to explore. As a teacher, through the investigation and careful observation of children's admission, we should grasp the personality characteristics of each child and carry out targeted teaching. For children who cry and express intense external emotions, teachers should create every opportunity to let them feel the new environment and new stimuli, strengthen their sensitivity to the environment, use interesting toys, rich games and other means to attract and infect children with happy and happy emotions, help them divert their attention and release their anxiety; For introverted children, there is no intense external emotional expression, but they are silently suffering from inner tension and fear. Teachers must not rush into it. They should use great patience, through kind tone, warm cuddle and meticulous care, leave a motherly impression on their children and make them feel attached to their teachers. In the process of establishing this attachment, the rules and requirements of kindergarten life are gradually infiltrated, so that children can gradually accept some basic rules of collective life and adapt them to kindergarten life. Timely encouragement and effective positive reinforcement. Teacher's encouragement and praise is very necessary for children who have just entered the park. At the beginning of children's admission, children's emotions and behaviors are prone to fluctuations. Teachers should observe carefully, find out the little progress of children in time and praise them. Its form can be oral or material. Besides, teachers should hug, kiss and touch children more. Improve children's communication skills in various ways. Communication is a process of social interaction, which includes not only the communication between teachers and students, but also the communication between peers. Communication can speed up children's adaptation to the park. It can be seen that it is very necessary to guide children to learn some communication skills and know how to communicate with their peers. Teachers can use all aspects of life to carry out rich and interesting activities. Such as "self-introduction", "guess who I am" and "find friends", so that children can get familiar with this class and make new friends by asking, speaking and guessing. When the children enter the park for a period of time and get to know the children in this class, the teacher can create a "Who is my friend" wall decoration activity, and the children can post photos of friends they know and like next to their own photos and introduce their friends to teachers and parents. In interactive communication, children have the desire to communicate actively and have more friends. Children naturally like to come to kindergarten and gradually adapt to the new environment. Organize interesting games and experience the happiness of kindergarten. Games are children's nature and the most unique and basic form of activity. Some psychologists call games "guiding activities" for children. Mr. Chen Heqin, a famous educator in China, once said: "Children are naturally active and take games as their life." This is because games are really significant in children's lives. Therefore, teachers can design some novel and interesting games at the early stage of children's enrollment. This can eliminate the strangeness and fear between children and teachers, and relieve children's anxiety about separation. (Author: No.1 Kindergarten in Chengde City, Hebei Province)
