0 ~ 5-year-old babies compete for the world
0 ~ 5 years old baby's jigsaw puzzle world, when pieces of jigsaw puzzle are put in the right position, the complete image will appear, and both adults and children will feel confident and fulfilled! There are all kinds of puzzles in the workshop ~ but how to choose the puzzle type suitable for the baby at home? In this article, please ask dad to take mommy and baby to swim in the wonderful world of puzzles! A game that combines intelligence and fun.

Part 1. The benefits of learning puzzles are more attractive to babies. In addition to each piece has its own bright color, various interesting shapes are also one of the characteristics; For babies, puzzles have many advantages of development and inspiration! Liao, a therapist in Yadong Hospital, said that when a child can find the correct position for each puzzle, it will not only exercise his hand-eye coordination ability, but also improve his motor skills and cultivate his cognitive ability of shape. These abilities are the skills that children must have when they learn to read in the future. Six benefits of learning puzzles Dr. Liao Huangmin pointed out that children who are new to puzzles will be unfamiliar and may give up after contact. At this time, what dad needs to do is to provide timely help. When children first learn puzzles, most of them are learning in the wrong way, so it is normal to want to give up. The focus is on the patient companionship and observation of parents. In addition, dad can also put the puzzle in the right place first, let the children put it on or put it together, and give encouragement and praise after success, which can increase the confidence and sense of accomplishment of the children who want to continue playing. In fact, the ability of jigsaw puzzle is not that the more pieces you put together, the better your ability. The speed of puzzles is also related to whether children are interested and experienced. Therefore, it is not the cleverer the child, the more puzzles he can put together. If children are not interested in puzzles, their parents don't have to worry too much than their mothers, or think that their children will fall behind. Besides, what benefits can puzzles bring to children? Welfare 1. Through jigsaw puzzles, I completely like children in the field, because they can understand the differences of various shapes by touching the shapes of jigsaw puzzles with their hands; See different colors and images through your eyes and learn about animals, fruits, flowers and plants. Therapist Liao said that with the increase of age, the types of puzzles that children can play will become more and more complicated, but their cognitive development will get better and better; Children who like flowers and plants begin to understand the appearance of all kinds of flowers and plants, while children who like puppies can know more kinds of dogs and tell their differences. Benefit two. Increase image ability. The so-called "intuitive image" was named by Professor Avery Shihanhu of Germany in 1909. This ability mainly comes from the ability of the right brain, which most often appears in children aged 0 ~ 6; When the function of the right brain is dominant, its ability (image) appears. The right brain is called the "impression brain". It has excellent modeling ability and sensitive hearing, so it has an absolute sense of sound, so the right brain is also called "the brain of art". People with strong right brain operation ability often make extraordinary achievements; If children are lucky enough to think in the right brain, it will be of great help to their future study or knowledge. Therapist Liao explained that the so-called mental image visualization method can deeply remember things, while geometry, experiment, music and art can all be developed through the right brain; But unfortunately, human beings are accustomed to the left brain education, which leads to the gradual atrophy of the right brain. And puzzles are a good way to train the right brain, because it combines the ability of images and shapes. Benefit three. The Great Puzzle of Unity Power is a jigsaw activity of Xian Yi, old and young Xian Yi, ranging from 1 year-old children's shape matching teaching AIDS to thousands of puzzles or 3D puzzles played by adults. Because a jigsaw puzzle can be played by many people, it is also a family activity. At first, when you want to teach your child how to operate and spell, you can make him or her an assistant and find out some related links and clues. Gradually, dad can retreat behind the scenes than mommy and let the children learn by themselves. Prompt in time, and then share the pride and achievements after completion. Therapist Liao reminded that the advantage of jigsaw puzzles is that if there is not only one child in the family, they will unite, help each other and live in peace (this is completely different from the situation that two people always compete for a toy in the past). Benefit 4. Training hand-eye coordination puzzles requires children's patient operation and hand-eye coordination, which is a good way to strengthen visual perception and fine motor ability. After all, if one of the hands and eyes is not harmonious, you can't put the color block in the right position; But children who can't learn at first can still get into the situation as long as they practice more. First of all, the most important thing is to find the piece you really need from a pile of puzzles, and you must find it with your eyes. At this time, your eyes will produce a lot of * * * (colors and shapes), and gradually develop a relatively complete visual perception. Moreover, various puzzles are cut into different shapes, and children can learn about various geometric figures through puzzles, which increases their sensitivity to shapes. Knowing where to put a jigsaw puzzle is also the training of "visual gestalt"; Being able to distinguish the difference between the target and the background, such as finding the round puzzle from a large number of puzzles of various shapes, is the training of benefit 5 of "theme background". Understand logic and order. In the jigsaw puzzle, dad can let the children know that many "small parts" can piece together a "complete image". This "complete whole" is a concept composed of many "parts" and is the prototype of logical thinking. Of course, puzzles are the concept of plane combination, unlike the three-dimensional combination of building blocks; However, it is necessary to spell out a complete image in a limited 2D range, which is actually the ability to train spatial logic. Therapist Liao said that many children naturally know that they should start from the edge when they are exposed to multiple puzzles, which actually means learning order, order and logic. Moreover, the puzzle must have the correct spelling to spell the correct image, so it must have good observation and judgment ability in the process. Benefit 6. Building self-confidence Children must have more patience and concentration to complete the puzzle. Dr. Liao Huangmin said that many children will suffer many setbacks in the process of jigsaw puzzles, but they are very successful after they are finished. When a child encounters some difficulties, remember to give him or her correct guidance and help in time, so that the child will not easily "give up halfway". In addition, when children connect the messy pieces and have a prototype, please don't be stingy with your praise and praise. Until the moment of successful reorganization, children will have a great sense of accomplishment; And this feeling will be an important element to make children willing to continue their efforts, and also a source of self-confidence. Especially remind dad to buy puzzles for children than mommy, and choose a type that is safe and does not hurt your hands, and the material feels good. Children are more willing to try jigsaw puzzles in a comfortable environment. If you have the experience of scratching your fingers because of puzzles, children will have the shadow of resisting this game. The second part. Fall in love with puzzles Some children may not like to play puzzles because of their previous bad experiences or psychological resistance; Dad wants his children to learn more than their mothers, but he is worried about how to do it. Therapist Liao suggested asking the children the main reasons for their resistance in a gentle and induced tone, and then counseling or solving these resistance points, and the children would accept the jigsaw puzzle again. 3 methods ~ children love puzzles, and there are many reasons to resist puzzles, but which one is it? Liao's therapist provided the following possible situations. Dad can check the child's situation by himself, and solve the problem according to this situation, so that the baby can swim in the interesting world of puzzles. Method 1. The degree is from easy to difficult. For children who have never played jigsaw puzzles, if you provide too difficult types from the beginning, it will not only hurt their self-confidence, but also cause frustration and have a great chance of giving up. Therefore, the father must first know the age of the child and what kind of puzzle is suitable, and then patiently help the child complete it. Usually four puzzles or big puzzles start. Dad can piece them together into a complete picture first, and then let the children try it themselves. Or, let the older children carefully observe the final image first, and then remove the 1 block of the puzzle and put it aside; Observe the edge and color characteristics of the missing part of the puzzle, let her understand and then press it back. Such a step-by-step process, from one piece to two or more pieces, increases the difficulty and strengthens the ability to think and solve. Remind dad that the difficulty must be gradually increased according to the child's actual ability (from dismantling 1 piece, 2 pieces to multiple pieces, or even completely disrupted); If you encounter problems in the process, help so that children will not regard this game as a fear. Method two. Heuristic guidance When children are playing puzzles, the father's assistance should be based on inspiration, thinking and observation, rather than directly helping the children. In the process of jigsaw puzzle, you can remind your child orally: Are the lines of this jigsaw puzzle the same as those on the board? Can the pressed puzzle be connected with the puzzle next to it? This piece can turn a corner, can it be pressed down smoothly? From these oral AIDS, help the baby to open another way of thinking and observe the results at another level, and these operations are carried out in person, so that the child can really gain and learn. Therapist Liao stressed that solving puzzles is to "learn from them" and can only be achieved by hand: the corresponding relationship from side to corner and the spatial concept of diverse combinations are the most basic and important development of intelligence. When guiding children to play jigsaw puzzles, we should not only help them to "properly" place puzzles, but also let them discover useful puzzles themselves, thus stimulating their thinking ability. The sense of accomplishment after completing the puzzle will also make children more challenging. I want to do everything alone without my parents! Method three. When choosing the right type of puzzle for children, parents must consider many factors (such as the number and pattern of puzzles, etc.). ), and these factors are the focus of children's likes or dislikes! Observing children's favorite items or animals on weekdays, starting with the puzzles of these patterns, can arouse children's interest in playing; Or brightly colored types such as cartoon patterns and lines are easier to spell out (monochrome or the same color is difficult to distinguish, which is quite difficult for children). In addition, dad needs to know whether the puzzle is too difficult and whether there are too many pieces, which will also affect the child's willingness to puzzle. Therapist Liao believes that it is also very important for dad to "wait and accompany" in the process after choosing the right puzzle type for his child. The third part. Most puzzles at all stages will clearly indicate the appropriate baby age. Dad can pay attention to the number of pieces of the puzzle when choosing. Because children are just beginning to learn to put each piece together in the right shape space, the number of the first puzzle should be small. There are many kinds of puzzles on the market, and now there are touch puzzles, which make children like puzzles through gentle touch. When I first started playing puzzles, my father must be there to help me, so that the children will feel the power of companionship and will be willing to continue. When children's puzzles are frustrated, dad might as well take out the puzzles they used to play and let them regain their confidence. What kind of puzzle should I choose? Therapist Liao Huangmin said that every time you buy a puzzle, you can at least let your child play 1 year; However, the types of puzzles should be provided according to age, and small pieces of cardboard puzzles are not suitable for children under 3 years old. In addition, dad can also put a "puzzle area" in a corner of the house to store all kinds of puzzles. Let children choose suitable puzzles to play at any time according to their own mood and spend a happy afternoon or holiday time. Puzzle is a family leisure activity. For children aged 0 ~ 3, attention, observation, visual space, image cognition and hand-eye coordination can also be trained. It is an important game to open children's intelligence. But dad is more sad than mom. What kind of puzzles are suitable for children at this stage? Let the therapist Liao explain! 0 ~ 1 year. /kloc-The baby before 0/year-old has immature body development and limited activity space. In this period, you can choose the types with bright colors and contrasts, simple and clear lines and large patterns; There are four primary colors: red, yellow, blue and green, which can be used as a preparation for the baby to develop visual image cognition. 1 ~ 2 years old. From the beginning of assembling toys, babies around 1 year old can walk, broaden their horizons and greatly improve their cognitive ability of things and images. This period can give simple assembled toys and increase the concept of combination; Some household toys (such as detachable radishes, animal dolls and other props) are good choices. The toy is disassembled because the baby doesn't know the name of the object yet, and the concept of complete image is still a little vague. Through the process of disassembly to assembly, we can initially establish the concept of "the whole is disassembled into parts and the parts are assembled into a whole", and at the same time promote the movement and development of hand muscles. 1 ~ 2 years old, children can provide simple geometric matching teaching AIDS, choose thick wooden jigsaw puzzles or easy-to-grasp puzzles to facilitate children with immature hand functions to start learning. 2 ~ 3 years old. After the official puzzle is released, children can officially enter the "puzzle world", but remember to step by step, from simple to difficult; Let children play with a small number of puzzles (at present, 4 pieces are the least), and the lines of puzzles must be large and clear, suitable for puzzles with color partitions. Children aged 2 ~ 3 years old begin to have some challenges, choosing puzzles with simple patterns; Or colorful puzzles (such as yellow ducks, red apples, etc. When children gradually develop self-confidence, they can gradually increase the number of films. 3 ~ 4 years old. Children with complex patterns after 3 ~ 4 years old can increase the number of pieces to about 10, and the shape can be irregular; When the child finishes the design, praise him and encourage him to continue to challenge. After the age of 4, the number of films can be more than 30, and the choice of patterns can try more complicated types, such as cartoons or puzzles with the same color. Puzzle games are very interesting. Many dads are sadder than mommy, and buy many toys, but the children throw them away after playing for several times. The more toys there are, the less children know how to cherish them. If you want your child not to dislike the completed puzzle, it is important to change it more; Because children are reluctant to play with the same toy or object all the time, they will have a different sense of freshness and play for a longer time. When a child finishes a jigsaw puzzle, his father can pick it up immediately and give it to him later (about half a month). Because the child's memory is slightly faded, he will have the initial interest and curiosity, and naturally he will want to play. Liao's therapist provides some small games related to puzzles to help dad make the types of puzzles more diverse and interesting than mommy, so that children will feel fresher and will continue to love them. Game 1. Suitable age for homemade puzzles: 1 ~ ~ 2 years old. This game can improve children's cognition of graphics and colors and develop the coordinated movements of hand muscles; In the process of game production, a good parent-child interaction relationship has also been established. Low production method 1. Use some colored cardboard (more durable), and draw trapezoid, triangle, square, circle and other shapes with colored strokes on it. 2. Use scissors or a knife (please use tools for adults) to cut along the drawn figure. 3. For cutting graphics, please underline the edges of each shape with black or different colors. Start the game 1. Dad can put these figures in the box, take out one and ask the child: What color is this figure? What's the red number? 2. Take out boxes of various shapes and ask the children to put them in various shapes (trapezoid, triangle, square, circle, etc.). ) Go into your home (a square lives in a square box and a triangle is a triangular box). Help children know the appearance and names of various shapes. Game 2. Ingenious puzzles are suitable for ages: 3 ~ 6 years old. These games can help children know colors and images. When the connection between graphics and objects becomes closer and closer, the ability of hand-eye coordination will become better and better. ● Production method: 1. You can buy a clever spell in the market. It is recommended to choose clever spells with numbers or patterns in the middle and pictures in the middle that can be cut off. For younger children, you can only provide all kinds of clever spells to play with. 3. For older children, more complex graphics can be provided, such as vehicles and animals. Start the game 1. Let the children pick up all the numbers and ask or explain what the numbers and figures in their hands are on the way. 2. Let the children put the picked-up children back to their homes one by one. When you have played enough games, you can change the way of playing-"assembly number", and make a cube, triangle and other three-dimensional figures through clever spelling. 4. Because the edges of clever spelling are uneven, in fact, children who come into contact for the first time will be curious. So when a child begins to be attracted by clever colors or shapes, his father can let him explore more quietly than his mother.
