When the child is only a few months old, we block his eyes, then move away and show a funny smile in front of him. They will "giggle"; When children are over 1 year old, they begin to understand that objects are not in front of them, but still exist, and are keen to play the game of "you hide, I find" objects; More than 2 years old, I began to like to play hide-and-seek with "you hide and I find".
In this game of hide-and-seek, they know things, feel the space, think from others' perspective, and how to hide so as not to be discovered. Therefore, when you first start playing hide-and-seek, you will find that they can't hide at all. They just think they are hiding when someone stands there and shows their buttocks, but be patient, because hide-and-seek is very helpful for them to know and feel the space.
Speaking of hide-and-seek, I recently read a set of books with my children and wrote a picture book similar to hide-and-seek thinking-"Who is hanging clothes?" This picture book consists of three books, including The First Day of School, Our Work and Fun Sports. Picture books provide the characteristics of clothes and articles, understand 20 occupations in the form of "guessing" and catchy text clues, and improve children's cognitive ability, associative ability and observation ability.
According to Piaget's theory of children's cognitive development, preschool children aged 2-7 are in the pre-operation stage. Children internalize perceptual actions into representations and establish symbolic functions, so they can think with psychological symbols (mainly representations).
Children at this stage are still looking at pictures and are full of curiosity about the world around them. At the same time, gradually they will have a strong interest in writing symbols, which is the sensitive period of Montessori's literacy.
Picture books show the characteristics of 20 kinds of professional clothes with clear pictures and words, and are accompanied by nursery rhymes to guide children to know their careers, combine things with words, and attract children to fall in love with reading and understand the connotation represented by words in the form of "guessing".
Such as "Who is hanging clothes? Our work tells the chef's content, "heat insulating gloves and aprons, a piece of stew secret paper, a big hat, an eggbeater, the owner of clothes." Who is he? "The text is short, corresponding to every clothing map of the profession. When reading, it refers to the object, reciting. Children naturally correspond to each other, know the object and the text, and then let them guess. Then, turn to the second page and uncover the mystery. They will be very surprised. They will know the characteristics and work contents of chefs, which will help them achieve more than one goal.
Secondly, the content of each professional text is opposite, and the last sentence is "Who is the owner of the clothes?" It is easy for children to remember the content. Two children in our family, one is 4 years old and the other is over 2 years old, read it with them two or three times, let them read it by themselves and let the other party guess. Very interesting.
With the society and economy, women enter the workplace, and children enter kindergartens or kindergartens earlier and earlier. At the same time, children are getting in touch with the society earlier and earlier and attending various interest classes.
"Who is hanging clothes? The first day of school is the school theme scene, which introduces the occupations that children will encounter when they enter early education institutions or kindergarten schools, including class teacher, traffic coordinator, canteen chef, school health administrator, physical education teacher, art teacher and new classmates. Let children get familiar with the identity of the person they will contact or the content of the person they are contacting in advance to improve their cognitive ability.
"Who is hanging clothes? Fun sports are about sports. Introduce some sports, such as football, basketball, tennis and rugby. This is also to enlighten children in advance. For many parents, in addition to learning cultural knowledge, they also hope that their children can have a sport they love and keep fit. For me, I want my children to learn to play football when they are over 5 years old, so this book has become a carrier for me to introduce various sports, especially football.
"Who is hanging clothes? Our work focuses on some occupations that children are interested in, such as postman, carpenter, astronaut, fireman and so on. These career enlightenments can make children have more beautiful associations with the world. Children aged 2-7 like to build blocks and build various life scenes, and carpenters are their favorite; They also like to look at the starry sky and are curious about the moon and stars. Astronaut is a magical profession. Every time firefighters come to the school to promote fire control, firefighters are their yearning career. ...
These three picture books introduce these occupations to children more systematically, and the books will serve as an introduction for parents to lead their children to explore the magical world around them.
I believe that parents who have a certain understanding of children's sensitive period know that children aged 2-7 have sensitive periods of language, subtle things, senses, symbols and writing and reading.
The author of this picture book also knows the sensitive period of children. The picture in the picture book is not only bright in color, clear in graphics and text, but also in line with children's psychological development. The words in the picture book are catchy and suitable for children to sing.
Generally speaking, this book is like an Amazon reader's comment: this book is very suitable for preschool children. The words are interesting and catchy, and the illustrations are great. This set of books is also suitable for older children. Children can analyze and judge clothes or articles according to past experience or knowledge. In addition, I like this book to break the inherent impression of gender-both men and women can engage in all kinds of jobs, including female postman and male chef.
