Society is changing. On the premise of satisfying the material foundation, we have turned our attention to happiness and education, which can better reflect the spiritual richness. This is comforting.
What is congenital deficiency?
NDD(natural deficiency syndrome) is a new word, which comes from a term put forward by American writer Richard Louv in his best-selling book The Last Child in the Woods. The book emphasizes that congenital deficiency is not a disease that needs doctors to diagnose or use drugs, but a dangerous phenomenon in today's society. That is, children spend less and less time in contact with nature, which leads to a series of behavioral and psychological problems. It is precisely because of the development trend of rural urbanization, information networking and increasingly high technology that people are more accustomed to the way of obtaining information and exploring the world through the network. Although this too convenient lifestyle has brought many benefits, it has gradually made us lose the passion of actively exploring the outside world. The deficiency of nature, guided by psychology, reminds us of the importance of nature.
Children will complete 90% psychological development before the age of 3, so the growth experience before the age of 3 is particularly critical. The role of nature lies not only in its rich resources, but also in the fact that psychological experiments have proved that nature's information has a nourishing effect and can awaken complex human intelligent systems. We can imitate the natural ecosystem through architecture, which is enough to prove that the science we worship can't surpass the wisdom contained in nature anyway. We find that children who grow up in cities are more narcissistic and self-centered, while children who grow up in rural areas are more concerned about the outside world and more gregarious. It can be seen that the difference of children's growing environment can directly lead to the difference of ideas and personalities. Urbanization is indeed the embodiment of social progress, but it has not surpassed nature. On the contrary, it is our urbanization that protects children. Weak is not only the instinct of survival and adaptation, but also the limited development of the brain and the lack of psychological senses.
Nature is the cradle of children.
When a child is born, psychology calls it "initial state", which is very important until the age of 3. In the initial stage, the child's brain needs to be fully stimulated, so that the nerves in the brain can be quickly connected to form a network, which is the initial way of intellectual development. Therefore, the more stimulation, the more appropriate, and the more fully and advanced the child's intelligence will be. The so-called "sufficient" stimulation refers to receiving a lot of information in a limited time, which is a bit harsh in modern society. Especially with the rapid popularization of the Internet today, more and more people prefer to use the Internet instead of direct communication. We know that no matter pictures or words, what appears on the computer is only binary code. This kind of information ignores most functions of the body, such as skin feeling, smell, touch and muscle feeling, except simple interaction with the brain. Even watching news movies on the computer, the information we receive is greatly affected. Because the real sound and picture carry many times as much information as the binary code. Network information is artificially summarized, and the amount of information that can really stimulate the brain is pitiful. If we come outside to feel the air flow, temperature and humidity, watch the colors of leaves and smell the fragrance of flowers and plants, the whole function of body and mind will be awakened, which is the biggest difference from virtual network. Therefore, psychological and clinical problems such as depression, anxiety and social fear are on the rise, and natural therapy is becoming more and more popular.
Memory is gradually formed after the age of three, so most people can't remember things before the age of three. The study found that the world we saw before the age of three was completely different from that of adults. Children can distinguish different colors of the same color system, but adults can't. Children's hearing is wider than that of adults, and their sense of smell and sensibility are many times greater than that of adults. These differences are forgotten. Therefore, when parents discuss what is most suitable for their children, they are mostly measured by the feelings of adults, and the conclusions drawn are also adults'. What we think is suitable for children is actually the wishful thinking of adults and may not conform to the law of children's own development. We emphasize the power of nature education because it follows the development and development of human brain in the laws of nature.
The misunderstanding of putting the cart before the horse in early education
We see that many parents enroll very young children in initiation classes, and few parents consult psychologists or children's experts in advance. The prevalence of early education is more due to parents' own anxiety. Parents' insecurity is transferred to their children, fearing that their competitiveness will decline when they grow up, which promotes early education. The anxiety of the previous generation leads to the growth mode of the next generation, so there is a kind of training eager to form words and characters. Think about it, parents' anxiety is based on the background of parents' growth, but it should be used for children in the background of modernization. How is this appropriate? As we know, social psychology research has confirmed that different social backgrounds have created people's ideas and behaviors. Since the age difference between children and parents is twenty or thirty years, can our anxiety about learning and the future be applied to children in the modern background?
There is an old saying in the ancients that "a noble person speaks late" and "he looks old at the age of three", but parents eagerly expect their children to study early and speak early. What few people know is that human language and writing are not valued in the field of psychology. Experiments show that the earlier a child learns to speak and read, the more limited his future development will be. Language and writing are information that we have artificially summarized, and the actual information content restricts people's feelings and understanding of the outside world in the least way, especially before the child is 5 years old. Psychologists advocate going to school at the age of 7, and try not to learn artificial information such as words, paintings and music before the age of 5, so as not to limit children's future development.
Parents should bring their children into contact with nature, and expectant mothers should listen to the real sound of the waves, not the prenatal piano music. Because nature is the cradle of information and the best place for children to grow and develop, when children can run freely, whether watching ants move or digging sand to play, it is the best learning. Early learning is to form an intelligent system by stimulating nerves in the brain. After school, most of the study is to learn experience and reserve skills to adapt to the current social system and social rules. In these two different learning periods, the former is laying a material foundation for the latter, and the latter must rely on the former to develop better. However, many parents put the cart before the horse and let their children learn to read and receive rational education too early. This is misleading. Parents should know the size and not overdo it.
Nature is a good compensation system.
A child's unique way of seeing the world will gradually degenerate during his adulthood, and then develop a way of seeing the world in the whole society. Children's view of the world is not simple causal logic and linear thinking, but very complicated. The intelligent system of people who keep this complicated way is very advanced, and their natural intuitive ability makes these people "geniuses" in our eyes. People who can keep children's consciousness must have been in close contact with nature and never divorced from nature. Of course, our social education method is also very necessary, so we should not only attach importance to early education methods, but also let children get in touch with nature more. School education and nature education can go hand in hand and complement each other. With the growth of children, it naturally becomes an auxiliary compensation system, which compensates the parts that children can't adapt to in society, so that children have something in their hearts or a place to heal.
Life is open, and mothers have more influence on their children than nature. Before the age of three, mothers should try to take their children to play in nature. This kind of open teaching is the great potential for mothers to use natural resources to awaken their children. Why do you emphasize that mothers should take their children to nature instead of fathers? It is because for children in this period, mother is his world, his backer and his harbor. There is a premise for children to accept natural information, and that is a sense of security. Playing under mom's gaze is very different from playing alone. Although the topic of "lack of nature" is dignified, it also reminds us that we should always take our children out of the reinforced concrete forest, get in touch with the green, experience the grass and trees of nature, breathe the outdoor air and feel the soothing power of nature.
The growth and development of children is very important. Parents should pay attention to their children's growth and development, but how can they grow up faster? How to master the growth and development of children?
A year's plan starts with spring. This is especially true for developing children. Spring is a season of frequent infectious diseases, a period of high incidence of psychological diseases, and an important period for children to keep fit and resist diseases. Spring is a critical moment of growth, the best time to walk into nature, and the best time for children to sow their hopes and fly their dreams.
Children's growth
Blend into nature
In this warm season, preschool education experts remind that children should do a lot of things.
On seasonal change
Some kindergartens have done such an exercise: let children find "flowers in full bloom in spring" in picture books. Many children are at a loss because they don't know which flowers will bloom in spring and which flowers will bloom in summer. How do they know?
In spring, letting children go to nature and cultivate their sense of season by observing the changes of seasons can not only enrich their knowledge of the periodic changes of nature, but also urge them to connect various phenomena, thus realizing the causal relationship of nature changes, which is also helpful for the formation of children's logical thinking.
Suggestion: Take children outdoors in spring to collect and talk about things related to spring. For example, you can make kites with children, talk about swallows and earthworms, collect various seeds and so on. Let children realize that spring is the season of sowing.
Another way to help children understand seasonal changes is to take them for a walk in the same place in different seasons and observe the changes there. You can go once a month and take photos. For example, in spring, the grass turns green, the willows grow branches and the snow melts. Everything flourishes and grows in summer and so on. Let children remember what it was like here before and now through photos, and let them gradually realize the changes of seasons and the passage of time.
Plant some
"What kind of flower is this?" "When will that flower bloom?" Children often ask these questions with great interest. According to the test of preschool education experts, most children like plants, and most children who like plants are curious. Curiosity is the most precious internal motivation to acquire knowledge.
Suggestion: In spring, you might as well open up a piece of land in the corner and plant some plants such as sunflowers and tomatoes. When sowing, let the children see the shape, size and color of the seeds first; After sprouting and growing leaves, guide the child to continue to observe, tell him the growth process of plants, and understand the influence of air, water and sunlight on plant growth; You can also collect nursery rhymes, nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes about plants and flowers and sing them with children.
Of course, children will be happy to do some watering and weeding work and let them do it. You can also take the opportunity to cultivate their labor habits and let them learn preliminary labor skills.
Keep a small animal
When a child likes a small animal, he will take care of it with emotion and pay close attention to the living habits and growth of the small animal, which in itself enriches the child's knowledge structure. More importantly, while experiencing happy work, they will also establish good feelings with small animals, which will help to cultivate children's IQ and make him an emotional person.
Suggestion: Help children raise some goldfish, tadpoles and chickens, and let them see small animals grow under their care. In this process, we let him know the characteristics, living habits, growth and change process and feeding methods of various small animals, and invited children to talk about his small animals. Children are usually very willing to share their experiences with you. Even an introverted child will tell his animal stories vividly.
In short, parents should pay attention to feeding their children, and it is very important to pay attention to feeding. It is necessary to arrange the baby's diet and exercise reasonably, promote the child's development and let the child grow and develop better.
