Dortmund children's concentration points out that sensory integration includes different sensory pathways such as vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, vestibule and proprioception, which make the brain and body coordinate with each other through corresponding responses to information processing.
To facilitate understanding, take an apple as a concrete example:
Through vision, we can see that the apple is red in color and round in shape; Through the control of vestibular perception and proprioception, we can also put it in our mouth or throw it into the air to catch it. You can taste it with a bite and feel its hardness.
When the sensory system is out of balance, the bright red color of apple can't stimulate appetite, and the sweet and sour taste is not attractive. If we throw it into the air, we can't catch it or even put it in our mouth accurately. This process will eventually lead to frustration and make people lose confidence and patience.
Almost every child has sensory problems.
According to the statistics of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the proportion of children's sensory impairment in modern urban families is as high as 85%, of which about 30% are severe sensory impairment. Premature delivery, caesarean section, abnormal fetal position, family rearing style, excessive protection and doting, and children's lack of necessary crawling are the key reasons leading to sensory imbalance.
If the sensory imbalance is not trained and corrected, the child will be troubled by this symptom for life. Seriously affect academic performance, personal character and future job competition.
Improvement method of sensory disorder
Sensory perception failure is not a disease, but early training is the key. According to Benjamin, a famous child psychology and education expert? Bloom's children's intelligence development curve shows that the age of 4- 12 is the key period for the rapid development of children's brains, and the sensory training at this stage can be significantly improved.
Many parents often have a misunderstanding that they can train their senses at home. Family training can be used as an auxiliary training, just a part of sensory training. Synaesthesia is closely related to children's brain development and the coordination of various senses, and children have different reasons for synaesthesia. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively improve through professional evaluation, targeted training and family help.
The following are suggestions for family training:
1, vestibular training:
(1) Push the ball on the ground
The child lies on the small skateboard, with his hands straight away from the wall, his fingertips touching the wall, his head raised, his feet together, and repeatedly pushes the ball to the wall with his hands.
(2) jump hula hoop
Put some small hula hoops on the ground and let the children jump all the hula hoops with two feet or one foot.
2, proprioception training:
(1) fancy racket
Give the child a ball and let him practice various strokes. For example, for a 3-year-old child, you can train him to bat the ball with his left hand and right hand respectively, and for an older child, you can let him bat the ball alternately with his left hand and right hand.
(2) Knock on the big drum
Adults stand on low stools and boxes and swing tambourines tied with ropes like pendulums. Let the children touch the swinging tambourine with their hands and observe the chances of the children hitting it.
3. Tactile training
(1) backguessing
Write on the child's back with your fingers and let the child guess what words are written.
(2) sole painting
If you have space, you can try to let your child draw with the soles of your feet. The preparation materials are bubble wrapping paper, pigments, some old newspapers or old cloth. Put bubble wrapping paper on children's feet, dip the soles of their feet in paint, and draw on old newspapers and cloth.
