As a part of music, children's songs are equally important to children and occupy a large proportion in early childhood education textbooks. Especially in infancy, nursery rhymes have almost become an indispensable part of children's life, which has played a very good role in promoting children's listening, language expression, emotional and intellectual development.
My cousin's daughter Feifei is 4 years old this year. She likes children's songs since she was a child. Every time she sees me, she likes to sing me her new children's songs.
Once I jokingly said to my cousin, "Feifei likes singing so much that she won't like humming soon after she was born."
Cousin smiled and said, "It's not as powerful as you said, but the child did learn to sing first and then learn to express it in words." At first I thought it might be a child's nature. Later, it was found that Feifei had a better language than other children. Your brother-in-law said it should be the role of nursery rhymes. "
Indeed, Feifei received a good education in my cousin's house. She has been clever since she was a child. Every time someone goes to her house, she will say hello politely and seldom quarrel with her family at home.
We don't know if children's songs have any function. Children's songs are, after all, a form of literary expression, not a panacea.
The effect of nursery rhymes on children's healthy growth: 1. Cultivate children's listening habits.
Listening is very important in human language, which is the basis for children to develop language expression and has an important influence on children's emotional expression and behavior expression.
In infancy, listening is the basic condition for children to perceive and understand language. When children's eyesight and language are not perfect, what they can understand is something we can't recognize.
Children's songs are catchy, short and rhythmic. Children are easy to attract attention, stimulate music and language talents, and meet the needs of physical and mental development. At the same time, children are naturally sensitive to music. Children's songs are easy to immerse themselves in because of their beautiful language and beautiful words, so that children can feel intimate and learn to listen quietly, thus cultivating their habit of listening to songs.
2. Enrich children's emotional expression
Children's songs contain clear and harmonious emotions and sincere emotions, and the language is simple and easy to understand, which can make children feel the influence of emotions and help them express their emotions.
Generally speaking, children's 3-6 years old is a critical period of language expression, and children's language expression is more about their own needs and emotions. When children's language expression is lacking, the existence of nursery rhymes can make children try another way of expression, which means nursery rhymes are another window for children's emotional expression. Good nursery rhymes can also nourish the emotional connection between children and mothers.
3. Promote children's language expression
Language is a tool for people to express their feelings and thoughts, and people's thinking is also improved with the development of language expression ability. The development of children's thinking ability is closely related to their language expression ability. From the moment they were born, they lived in various languages. They needed languages to listen to others, understand words and express their feelings. It can be said that during their growth, language permeates their lives all the time.
Children's songs are characterized by simple, lively, rhythmic and easy to recite, which makes children feel the charm and rhythm of language and accept its company more easily. In the process of accompanying children's songs, children's knowledge is expanded, making them more specific in language image and description of actions or things, which also shows that children's songs can promote the development of language expression ability.
