Reflections on "Small Country" 1 Last week, we watched the documentary "Small Country" which lasted for three years and recorded the inner world of a group of kindergarten children, which made us deeply touched. Through it, we really understand the real world of children and learn how to understand and respect them. Children also have their own rights and emotional secrets.
I remember reading such a sentence: 3 years old is the key period for children to build a healthy personality and good character. The negative thinking and habits that people develop at the age of 3 need a lifetime to detoxify and digest. In the film, Teacher Li explained the role of kindergarten teachers with her own practical actions. Today, kindergarten teachers are generally "babysitting" and "naive". Teacher Li insists on reasoning with children in adult language, so that children can live in the rules from childhood, respect every child in the rules, and communicate with children equally and frankly. Teacher Li has always insisted on Chi Yiyang's education method and clearly told him that this is wrong. I'm angry about it. You violated me and insulted me. Maybe we usually say "insult" to a child, and he won't understand, but now he will understand what is an attack and what is an insult. When Chi Yiyang was angry, Da Li also argued with him resolutely and clearly, and asked him to sit in the reflection angle. Because for Chi Yiyang, he should be a child who understands right and wrong and can distinguish right from wrong, so treat him as an adult, and rules are rules. It can be seen that Chi Yiyang's acceptance from the beginning is not only a rule understanding, but also a process of psychological adjustment. Such children, I think, will gradually learn to control and mediate their emotions in the future. Dali, the art of educating children is not only to reason, but also to enlighten them later, and to resolve the hostility between teachers and students in time. All parents who consciously contact Montessori, teachers in kindergartens and early education institutions, and future preschool educators in the United States agree to give children full freedom, but it is extremely rare to grasp this degree. Lilliputian provides us with examples and references in this respect, and Miss Li's mastery and application of the rules left a deep impression on me!
Besides, this one-and-a-half-hour movie is really meaningful. It is so natural to watch children's conflicts, laughter and life, especially the close-ups of those little hands and feet during the nap. It's so cute. The children help each other get dressed. It's so warm, every scene, every story, and the sincere feelings of children.
It is unforgettable that a tough little tough guy Chi Yiyang has been waiting for Nande's birthday. Two-year-old Kun, the prince who is anxiously waiting for the princess, and the princesses who love to dress up, today I want to "break into a furious rage". At first, I only cried out to the teacher for help, but dared to resist Chi Yiyang and bravely expressed my thoughts and resolved misunderstandings with the encouragement of the teacher. Two little girls guessing riddles at the dinner table were most impressed by chenchen's waiting. Every morning, chenchen, a little girl, doesn't come into the kindergarten, but just waits quietly at the door. At first, the teacher didn't know who she was waiting for, but later she learned that she was waiting for a little boy named Nande. Chen Chen comes early every day, and Nande comes late every day. Waiting is Chen Chen's homework every morning. After coming to Nande, the two always play house together and don't participate in other people's activities. Her face always shows stubbornness, and there is that loneliness in her eyes. She and Nande hardly use language to communicate, and Nande knows that she understands her feelings. From summer to winter, chenchen's waiting never stops. Even if Nande didn't come to kindergarten, she still waited at the door and didn't play with other children. Sometimes kindergarten teachers will wait for Nande with Chen Chen. Because they only play together, whether in kindergarten or at home. So at the end of the story, the director talked with two children, and Nande transferred to the park. The last scene is Chen Chen standing quietly outside in the heavy snow waiting for the end of Nande. This is a beautiful painting, but I feel sad when I look at Chen Chen's lonely figure. I always feel that it is a good feeling to have two children without guessing, so I envy the friendship of the children in the film.
The words "children are feet, education is shoes" are printed on the school bus at the end of the program, which is really meaningful. Different children should use appropriate education to make each child have a different happy childhood, and education should adapt to children, so that each child can explore boldly, take the initiative to learn and find the answers he is looking for. This may also be the principle that Ba Xueyuan has always adhered to. And our education needs more teachers like Da Li, not only in kindergartens, but also in primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools. Only in this way can children like Chi Yiyang get the maximum development, and China can produce more masters and Nobel Prize winners.
Reflections on "Small Country" 2 This week, we watched the movie "Small Country" in the preschool education class, which is not so much a movie as a documentary. It records a kindergarten called Baleyuan and some children here. The difference is that the kindergarten teachers here adopt a very special way of education. This documentary left a deep impression on me, and also caused me some thoughts.
First of all, Chen Chen waits for Nande every day and only plays with him.
There is always a scene in this documentary. Chen Chen always arrives at the kindergarten early every day, but she doesn't come into the room, but waits quietly at the door. It was not until Nande came that she started a day of kindergarten life with him. This phenomenon is very strange. Why doesn't Chen Chen play with other children? After all, she faces many children and can play with other children. Chenchen's behavior, the teacher did not stop her, but when chenchen was waiting, she asked her softly: "Do you want to wait for Nande?" It's very cold. Let's wait for him in the house first. Are your hands cold? Can the teacher touch your hand? "I have read some reports and interviewed Miss Li, a kindergarten teacher. She said that Chen Chen waited for Nande because of a certain need, but the current science can't explain what this need is. Then, the teacher didn't ask Chen Chen why she had to wait for Nande, but didn't stop her and gave me some inspiration. Children also have their own needs, which are often not given to them as parents and teachers, so teachers and parents should give them some room to realize. After all, such behavior did not harm the interests of others, or did not harm themselves. In the follow-up report of the documentary, Chen Chen was not worried about whether she would have no friends like ordinary people. Chen Chen has gone to school now.
Second, Chi Yiyang's "king of the children".
In the documentary, there is a little boy named Chi Yiyang. He always likes to lead other children or make trouble in class. At first, he grabbed Jia Jia's stick, and the teacher encouraged Jia Jia to take back what belonged to him. However, Chi Yiyang was not so obedient, but very excited. At first, he refused to give a stick and angrily claimed to hit other children. Then the teacher put him in solitary confinement. He doesn't admit that he is wrong, but he knows very well in his heart that he gives me the feeling that he is a particularly clever child. After him, some children quarreled, in which he played the role of peacemaker and resolved other people's contradictions in a teacher's way. I think many teachers will rack their brains to stop some of his behaviors or treat him negatively when they treat a naughty child like him, but in the documentary, Mr. Li is very patient with him, reasoning with him, and tirelessly telling him how to treat people, how to be polite, and encouraging him to play his specialty in the right direction. I think a child like him is actually very talented. Teachers should educate such a child well, and he will be very manly and brave when he grows up. But blindly suppressing him may make him more rebellious, and the consequences may not be good.
Third, Xi Kun's children pay great attention to discovery, and the teacher gave him many opportunities to explore.
I think the appearance of Kun children reflects the uniqueness of this kindergarten. At first, Xi Kun was interested in the trash can, so he picked up a football and threw it into the trash can. Then he took a pair of shoes and threw them in. Later, he learned to put several pairs of shoes in a small basket and throw them into the trash can. The teacher did not stop his exploration. When he lost interest, the teacher patiently took back the things in the trash can. When he was in a room, he became interested in the things on the bookshelf, removed them, and later tried to climb up. He put a basket of beads on the ground and liked to play with them. In fact, the teacher specially arranged for him to explore and discover it himself. Presumably, this child must have learned a lot in the process of free self-study and realized the fun of exploration. can
It is said that the teacher's education method is very unique, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, because the teacher noticed that this child has such characteristics, giving him the freedom and freedom to discover himself, and he can enjoy learning, get happiness and acquire knowledge by himself.
Fourth, Jia Jia's cowardice.
When bullied by Chi Yiyang, Jia Jia was very weak and didn't dare to face it, just crying. The teacher noticed this and told him that you should stand up and take back what belongs to you. After receiving such encouragement, Jia Jiayong dared to be right. Later, Chi Yiyang said that he was going to hit someone, and he sneaked away. Faced with such a child, the teacher encouraged him in many ways and told him not to be afraid.
Fifth, the kindergarten environment is different.
A big difference between this kindergarten and other kindergartens now is the game environment, which reminds me of a short film about British early childhood education that the teacher showed us not long ago. This kindergarten is very similar to that one, with a natural and free playground. For example, children can play with dirt, roll on the ground and play with plastic foam. I think this may be because many parents don't want their children to play at ordinary times, and some parents are afraid of being dirty and messy. In fact, they forget that nature is the best teaching material for children. In this kindergarten, children can call their teacher Da Li directly, but it must be Da Li. It can be said that many educational methods in this kindergarten are very advanced.
Watching this documentary really touched me. The world of children is very simple. They like to discover, learn and play freely. In fact, we can provide them with such an environment and let them spend such a childhood. I think this kind of positive and encouraging education should be adopted by parents and teachers. In this way, children can grow up freely, give full play to their talents and cultivate their own personality.
Random thoughts on "Small country and few people" 3 I watched the documentary "Small country and few people" for the first time in children's education class today, and I didn't pay special attention to it before. There is no strong star lineup and gorgeous dress house, but it has deeply attracted me, brought me joy and made me feel a lot.
The first is emotional.
In this carefree paradise, children's only task is to play and listen to stories, and do whatever they want. No matter what they do, there is no blame, no abuse, no corporal punishment, only gentle greetings and meticulous care, plenty of publicity and fantasy space, and endless opportunities to experience and get close to nature. As a college student, I recall my kindergarten life, don't I? Happy every day, I don't need to think about what I will do in the future, and I don't need to think about what my future will be like. I really envy them and I can live!
Among them, four-year-old chenchen waits for a child-Nande every morning. One morning in late summer, chenchen caught a cold, and he sent milk slices to Nande. She waits for Nande in autumn morning, then in snowy winter, and then in spring. Every day, Chen Chen waits patiently for Nande. Reminds me of myself. I am a particularly impatient person. I hate waiting for people, and I feel guilty about it! When I looked at Chen Chen, this sincere friendship between children deeply touched me. Is there such a friendship between adults that only pays for nothing in return? In this regard, I think too many of us need to learn from our children and not be too utilitarian. People will return empty-handed when they are alive, fame and fortune can't be taken away, and friendship is something that we can remember and bring joy all our lives.
In addition, I find that the real world makes us smooth, like to hide ourselves, afraid to say what we really think, and afraid to offend others; Worried about affecting your image; I'm worried ... but children are so naive that they can say whatever they want, just like Doudou is furious, and Jiajia and Chi Yiyang quarrel and feel ashamed to touch our lives. I think, in fact, speaking your own thoughts may be the best way to solve things!
Secondly, in education.
There is no doubt that school education is very important. In the film, Chi Yiyang, the bully who dares to scold and beat the teacher, often bullies others and scares other children, which left a deep impression on me. Such a child must be a bad boy in the eyes of ordinary people, but I was shocked by what Teacher Li said in this kindergarten. She said that there was something shining on the child, and he set an example for other boys, so the teacher looked at the child with appreciation, but at the same time, the teacher never let go. At that time, I thought that such a smart and distinctive child would become an extraordinary person in the future as long as the education method is correct. Indeed, at the back of the film, children fight with boys and deal with disputes between children, which is a kind of leadership, and the children he bullied support him from the heart. Is this kind of "king of the children" less and less around us? School education is a very important part. Everyone is born with the seeds of wisdom, morality and faith. Education should provide conditions to promote its development.
From this film, we can easily find the influence of family on children's development. Nande called to say that she was going on a business trip. She knew that she would go to heaven after she died, so Chen Chen had to bury him. While waiting for the princess, the prince wandered back and forth anxiously and paced. Princess Yin Yin wears earrings herself. When she went to marry the prince, she said that she forgot to bring her marriage certificate. Jiajia wants to call 1 10 to report Chi Yiyang and so on. Although we can't help laughing when we see this, aren't these all things that we can touch in our lives? Children's ability to imitate is very strong, so parents must be careful in their behavior, because you won't know that one of your bad habits was learned by children accidentally.
Again, it is a simple idea.
I also deeply understand that education should conform to human nature. Each of us has the nature of exploration and laziness. The most obvious performance of childhood is exploration. Children know little about the world. They like to explore and "study". Education cannot kill their nature. Little Quincy will find himself out of place only when he wears adult shoes. Little Quincy climbed into the cupboard and fell off it. Parents feel sorry for their children, so some parents don't let them climb, but you don't notice. Little Quincy said it would fall down after climbing the cupboard. This is the mystery of exploration. It can let children know a lot of things. If they don't try, they may never know how painful it will be! Education should meet the needs of exploration and give scientific methods.
My sister's four-year-old son thought of him when he saw Tin dozing off. I remember that time he ate melon seeds and dangled around with a melon seed bag. As a result, some melon seeds fell off. Then he simply turned the bag upside down and stamped his foot and smiled happily. As a result, all the melon seeds were scattered and scolded. Now think about it, in fact, children are all the same, and they will be full of curiosity about new things, but curiosity will last for a while. After a while, he will get tired of playing, and then tell him that it is wrong to do so and teach him to clean up. Childhood has the value of independent existence, its own cultural and spiritual life, and the right to have a happy childhood.
The children in Ba Paradise are going to transfer to another park. I hope their life is still happy!
The documentaries of Beijing kindergartens that professors pay attention to are not only for letting more people know about children, right? I think what they want to do more is to wake up the society, better educate children and promote the growth of "flowers"! Children are feet, education is shoes, and life is a whiteboard, which is drawn and shaped the day after tomorrow. I think both schools and families have the responsibility to choose appropriate methods to educate their children!
Thinking about "Small Country" 4 Since I came into contact with Li Yueer's educational philosophy and started diving in Li Yueer Education Network, I have been longing for the "Ba Xue Garden" far away from Beijing. I really want to see for myself how the children and teachers there spend their days happily. The children's documentary Lilliput finally made my wish come true a little.
The shooting technique of the film has a simple warmth. Those trivial scenes and plots that make every mom and dad feel deja vu only find that they are moved to penetrate into their hearts bit by bit, and there are still many feelings and thoughts left for us to savor after watching.
After watching this documentary, I suddenly began to understand what children need "love and freedom". Now these four words have been hung on the lips of countless parents as magic weapons, but the words and deeds of Dali and the teachers in the film are really thought-provoking and much more economical.
Every day, she is persistent in waiting for her little friend Nande. She only plays with Nande, and it doesn't feel bitter to wait every day. It seems that there is only one Nande in her world; The 2-year-old is in the exploratory period. He threw everyone's shoes into the trash can to see how big it was. He is always sabotaging the classroom, leaving things everywhere. Chi Yiyang, a 5-year-old "king of the children", is tall and strong, and has the demeanor of "the boss". He not only acts as an absolute leader in team games, but also is keen to explore all kinds of "power", or "talk wildly" or "bully" other children.
The performance of these three children, if it seems to our average parents, may be a little problematic. Take myself for example, I should belong to a typical person who grew up under the traditional upbringing, and the educational concept handed down from home is more serious, restrained and protective. Although I have accepted many new educational ideas, I can't help but feel a very instinctive critical impulse in the face of children's above behaviors. According to the thinking of "normal people", how can you always insist on a child Chen? Will it lead to poor communication skills? Isn't Sikun's exploration a bit too much? Are we just gonna let him mess around? Is Chi Yiyang too violent? Do you need more control?
So how do Da Li and the teachers treat these children?
Chen Chen waited for 365 days like a day, and the teachers never interfered. When she learned that she didn't want the teacher to accompany her, the teacher allowed her to wait for Nande alone at the door and warm her clothes when it was cold. A year later, Chen Chen and Nande went to different parks, but at this time, Chen Chen has been able to gradually adapt to the days without Nande and made new good friends. What is commendable is that her natural delicate emotions and incomparable patience have been well protected.
And Kun's exploration behavior, in the film, the teacher also gave a good demonstration response. When Kun spilled a basket of beads on the ground, Miss Li also happily accompanied him to explore and instructed him how to sweep the beads into a pile and put them back into the basket without trace. It not only fully satisfied Xi Kun's desire to explore at a specific stage, but also gave constructive behavior guidance, so that he gradually learned how to put things back. Under this freedom, Kun's ability to explore the environment has been protected and developed. Watching him disassemble things with his flexible little hands in the film really made me sigh as a clumsy adult.
There is a passage in the film in which many parents get together to talk with Da Li about whether or not to let Chi Yiyang leave the Ba Xueyuan, because there are too many children "bullied" by him. However, Da Li unexpectedly said, "Chi Yiyang does have his own problems to solve, but I think Chi Yiyang has given us a very manly demonstration for the children in the whole park ..." Indeed, Chi Yiyang has many qualities that boys in this era lack-strong, free and easy, responsible, temperament and courage ... From this passage, I really realized the good intentions and foresight of Dali.
These examples are permeated with the deep love of the teachers of Dali and Ba Xueyuan for the children, and the children have also got the free space they need for good growth. Writing here, I can't help but think of a scene that appeared twice in the movie. In the heavy snow, the school bus of Ba Xueyuan started slowly, with eight characters written on the body: "Children are feet, education is shoes", and the lights were dyed flickering and slowly moved forward. ...
I think that when I face my children in the future, especially when her behavior makes me feel anxious, dissatisfied, impatient and angry, I will think of Chen Chen, Quincy and Chi Yiyang, and think of the teachers in Ba Xueyuan, which will remind me to give my children real love, trust her and trust life.
It was a pity yesterday, because many parents took their children and the screening hall was small, so the venue was not very quiet. In fact, this film is more suitable for parents to watch and think quietly. In addition, if the film can be aimed at ordinary parents, maybe everyone will understand it better.
After watching the movie, I feel unfinished. If only it were a little longer. There will be a DVD release in the future, which is worth buying and collecting.
My thoughts on Lilliput 5 The Ba Xue Garden is what I learned in the book Little Doudou by the Window. It tells the story of children's happy life in the Ba Xue Garden and the secret feeling of Lilliput: children are feet and education is shoes. The first Chinese-style Eight Academy was established in the suburbs of the capital Li Yueer. The Secret of Lilliput truly records the innocent age and emotional process of children aged 2-6 in Ba Xue Garden.
In The Secret of Lilliput, there are several children that must be specially remembered: one is Xi Kun, who is very cute and likes to explore; One is Chi Yiyang, masculine but a little rebellious; An introvert, waiting for her good friend Nande's birthday at the door every day. From the growth and changes of these three children, we can see teacher Li Da's educational philosophy and the promotion of Ba Xueyuan to children's growth.
The concepts of "respecting children's personality and rights", "paying attention to individual differences" and "promoting each child's personality development" in the outline are all reflected incisively and vividly in Secrets of a Small Country.
First, respect children's personality development.
Waiting, perhaps the quietest verb in appearance, is silent and traceless; Inside, it's rolling! Waiting, without extra effort, tests people's endurance and sincerity. How long can a person wait? 10 minute, one hour, one day and one night? ..... If you don't come for a long time and there is no news, will you wait? In the face of this question, a kindergarten child's answer is surprising! The sincere friendship of children is so worthy of our respect!
The first scene of the film is chenchen waiting behind the door. Chen Chen comes early every day. When she arrived at the kindergarten, she didn't come into the house, but just waited quietly at the door. However, Nande is late every day, waiting to become a compulsory course in Chen Chen every day. This is the case all year round, and the teachers in Ba Xueyuan respect Chen Chen's behavior very much. "It's too cold. Do you want to come in and wait for a while? " "The teacher is waiting for Nande with you." At the same time, Miss Li put a scarf around Chen Chen's body ... which is enough to show the teacher's respect, understanding and care for the children. It is in this atmosphere that Chen Chen keeps growing and changing-because Chen Chen waited in a unique way and gained a sense of security and friendship with Yugoslavia. Chen Chen's emotional management of Nande experienced a process from low to high. At first, I exchanged emotions with materials, and later I exchanged emotions with games I created. Later, she will order Nande to do something she wants her to do. This process is the process of human social skills from germination to growth to maturity.
Second, guide children's growth direction in time and correctly.
"How a child understands the world, how he looks at the people around him and his relationship with others will have a serious impact on his future survival. Therefore, we must first let the children know that the adults around him are friendly and safe. " This is a sentence that Li Yueer said in the book. The change and growth of Chi Yiyang can be said to be an interpretation of this sentence.
At the beginning, Chi Yiyang was an out-and-out punk, arrogant, willful and domineering. He often bullies the weak, is unscrupulous and lawless, and dares to challenge the teacher! Think about how such children will be treated around us. It is conceivable that it will definitely arouse the resentment of teachers, and at the same time, more severe criticism and education will make children deeper and deeper. But what Mr. Li gave Chi Yiyang was correct educational guidance, mainly based on facts. When Chi Yiyang couldn't correct it in time, he took a cold treatment to let him reflect from the perspective of reflection. Besides, Mr. Li keeps his word, and when it comes to reflection, he will communicate with Chi Yiyang, so that Chi Yiyang can realize and admit his mistakes. When Chi Yiyang's behavior caused parents' opposition, Miss Li didn't follow the parents' opinions. "Chi Yiyang is manly ..." Let parents know that the child's heart is pure and can't be confused by superficial phenomena. Under the guidance of teachers, Chi Yiyang changed little by little, and began to learn to judge and solve the contradictions between children fairly from the appearance of teachers, and finally became a recognized leader of children and a decent and sunny man.
Third, give children room for free development.
It is mentioned in the Outline that "create a safe physical and psychological environment for children." Every shot of Kun in the film will make everyone laugh. One is to transport the shoes back and forth to the trash can, step on the switch of the trash can hard, and cover the shoes carefully before leaving; The second is to drive other children to climb together, turn over the shelves and laugh happily; The third is to drop all the beads on the ground and listen to the sound of the beads falling on the ground. From the first drop of beads, he began to observe the adults around him and found that adults allowed him to boldly carry out more intense "attacks." In the face of every "destruction", the teachers of Ba Xueyuan give understanding and support, so that children have room for free development. Especially in the scene of playing with beads, the ground was at sixes and sevens, and he ran around the room excitedly. Mr. Li kept watching and didn't stop him. After playing enough, Mr. Li instructed him how to tidy things up with a broom and dustpan.
All these are enough to show that "we give children freedom, give them opportunities to develop themselves in their own way, and establish a good personality plan is something that children are born with." We just need to provide them with opportunities and conditions. "
"Children are feet and education is shoes." This is the slogan on the school bus of Ba Xueyuan, and it is also the educational concept that we should follow. We should make shoes suitable for different children through education. We can't guarantee the happiness of a child's life, so please guard a complete and happy childhood for him!
