It is a common phenomenon that children who have just entered school cry and are emotionally unstable. Children aged 2-4 are at a special age. They grew up with their parents, and suddenly want to leave their families to get along with strangers in strange environments, which will inevitably lead to "separation anxiety" and "strangeness anxiety". In order to help children adapt to the collective life in kindergarten as soon as possible and get through the anxiety period smoothly, they must be helped to overcome "fear" and eliminate "anxiety".
Parents should eliminate their anxiety.
Children aged 2-4 are in a period of vigorous growth and development, which is particularly fast, but their ability to adapt to the environment is particularly poor. Parents will feel uneasy about their children suddenly losing careful care. When children enter the park, the "anxiety period" of parents is often longer and more serious than that of children. Therefore, to overcome children's anxiety, we must first eliminate parents' anxiety. It can be seen from home visits that parents are eager for high-quality and distinctive educational services, and they are particularly concerned about teachers' sense of responsibility, educational philosophy and educational ability. What parents are most concerned about and most uneasy about is how teachers take care of their children's daily lives and whether their children sleep soundly and eat well. The requirements for kindergarten safety facilities, green environment, light and air circulation are also constantly improving. In order to reassure parents, parents' concerns must be eliminated. When a teacher comes to the door for the first time, he should pay attention to his clothes and appearance, be dignified and generous, and don't dress up too much, so that parents can have an elegant and healthy teacher image in their first impression. Only by winning the trust of parents will it bring convenience in the future communication process. Let parents feel that the teacher's starting point and foothold are for the good of children. When parents ask teachers about their children, they should respect their parents, listen to their opinions with an open mind, accept their reasonable demands and communicate their children's emotional fluctuations. For example, parents report that their children are crying at home, anxious, fidgeting, angry with themselves, refusing to go to school, poor appetite, headache, abdominal pain, enuresis, night terrors and so on. Parents must be told that children may have "anxiety phobia". At this time, parents should not be overly nervous. This abnormal emotion of the child is caused by the temporary setback of the attachment relationship between the child and his family. It has certain stages. As far as children are concerned, it takes about three weeks to adapt to collective life. At the beginning of entering the park, you can keep the lifestyle of staying at home, but after a period of time, you should gradually adapt to the life schedule of the kindergarten. When children adapt to or, parents' anxiety will be gradually eliminated, and you can influence children with cheerful and happy emotions.
Home helps children get familiar with the environment.
Children are "anxious" because they feel strange. In order to eliminate children's "strangeness" and "fear" of the environment, we should not only pay attention to children's physical needs, but also pay attention to children's psychological needs, and arrange a day's activities according to children's needs. First of all, from the characteristics of children, and strive to create a warm environment. The creation of activity room should reflect "excellent" but harmless materials, "safe" soft floor and "good" facilities, so as to attract children's attention. Children aged 2-4 like to play with plush toys and play alone, which makes them forget their worries about being separated from their families. A few days before school starts, parents can accompany their children to the park to familiarize themselves with the environment, so that children have the opportunity to contact teachers and integrate into the new environment. Parents should tell their children that this is the place where you will come to school in the future, give them a psychological preparation, and let them feel the attraction of kindergarten from happiness by playing games such as slides and seesaws.
Children are familiar with their belongings and kindergarten activities in advance, and the warm reception and care of teachers when they come to the park and the thrilling living environment will leave a deep and beautiful impression on them. When a child comes home, he will feel that there is an invisible attraction waiting for him in kindergarten, and then he will have a strong desire to "I want to go to kindergarten". There are many advantages for children's psychological development level to adapt to kindergarten in advance. The emotional dependence of children in the whole process of running a garden is constantly changing, and the "distance between teachers and children" is gradually narrowing, so the sense of strangeness and anxiety is naturally reduced.
The teacher skillfully arranges the children's daily lives.
Children aged 2-4 should take life as an incision to help them adapt to the new environment and life, which is a good way for children to eliminate separation anxiety. At the beginning of school, we should pay special attention to children's emotions when eating, taking a lunch break and going out of the garden. Some children eat less breakfast because of emotional instability, so they should drink more water or bring their own snacks to ensure a good appetite for lunch. Lunch break is a difficult stage for children. Teachers should combine the rest situation of children explained by parents, let children sleep with their own things, let children temporarily find attached things and sleep quietly. Children who refuse to sleep and want to cry should be taken care of alone, and the teacher should be the protector for the time being. Because children have a strong attachment to adults, it is best not to change teachers in the first month. Nurses and teachers should take care of them equally, so that children can have the joy of reunion with their parents, and their tension and unhappiness will gradually fade away. Therefore, it is necessary to leave the park in advance when the school starts.
In short, it is normal and inevitable for newborn children to have anxiety. As long as we make preparations in advance, guide them carefully, care for them with maternal love and attract them with colorful activities, they will certainly spend the anxiety period of separation and experience the happiness of collective life in kindergartens. Family contact is very necessary, for the healthy growth of children, we need to work together!
