Experts pointed out that to avoid similar psychological and behavioral problems in children, the most important thing is to pay attention to children's nature and give them more time to play freely. In play, children can learn to get along with others, imitate the way their partners treat people, and learn the excellent qualities and characters of interpersonal communication such as tolerance, tolerance and cooperation. Parents should consciously cultivate children's interest in learning in their children's play and games, instead of violating the normal development law of children's growth, being too strict and often beating and cursing. This result can only be against parents' subjective wishes.
Literacy should not be too early, and it is useless when you grow up.
In order not to let the children lose at the starting line, parents always want to overtake now. Recently, Hangzhou Xinhua Experimental Kindergarten conducted a questionnaire survey on adolescent convergence among 230 parents in a large class and 100 parents in a nearby primary school. The results show that parents are most afraid of the gap in children's literacy, so they always let their children recite Tang poems and know Chinese characters in advance.
Is literacy really that important to young people's contacts? Yesterday, at the 20 10 international education innovation conference-pre-school education convergence seminar, a parent of grade two in Hangzhou Qinglan Primary School said, "My children don't know much. They only know 200 words before going to school, and they write slowly at first, but after the second grade, with the increase of literacy, this difference naturally disappears, and the children can still adapt well to the learning life of primary schools."
"Children's literacy is not an important reserve for admission." Wang Hongjun, principal of Qinglan Primary School, said, "The math application problems in the first half of the first grade of primary school will be seen by teachers, and the children will be seen by themselves in the second half. In the first half of senior one, children can read 400 words and write 100 words; In the second half of the first grade, 550 people can read and 250 people can write; In the first half of the second grade, 450 people can read and 350 people can write; In the second half of grade two, 400 students will read and 300 will write. Judging from these data, the literacy of children's enrollment reserve is not the most important. "
Yang Rong, director of Xinhua Experimental Kindergarten, agrees: "Our kindergarten doesn't teach children to read words mechanically, but only brings some Chinese characters in games and activities. Reading early does not mean reading early. Children's literacy experience generally occurs between peers. Some children can read, which will inspire children who can't read. Only when the children are interested will the teacher help them read. "
Zhang, inspector of Zhejiang Education Department, appealed that kindergartens should do what children should do. He said: "The newly promulgated Outline of the National Medium-and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10~2020) points out that early childhood education should' follow the law of children's physical and mental development and ensure their happy and healthy growth'." The biggest problem of education in China is transcendence. Kindergarten wants to do primary school, and primary school wants to do secondary school. We are firmly opposed to primary education in pre-school education. "
Parents should not worry, and children should not study too early.
Early education is often equated with knowledge education in early childhood education by parents. After sending their children to the early education center, many parents always ask their children how many words they have learned today. How many children can read? But in fact, most early education institutions are not eager to learn knowledge for their children, and more are to exercise their brains to grow and develop. However, traditionally, many parents still regard literacy as an important indicator and achievement of their children's early intellectual development. So, should children start reading early? When is a good time for children to study? There are a series of controversies. Today, the teacher of Jinwan Learning Center will come to answer your questions.
The teacher thinks that Chinese characters are actually hieroglyphics and can also be regarded as a kind of graphics. Children aged 0-3 mainly develop graphic memory, so for children at this stage, no matter pictures, words or faces, they are all graphics. Therefore, Chinese characters are acceptable for children at this stage, but it is not advisable if children are trapped at home and face boring words. From a scientific point of view, early childhood literacy can indeed develop some functions of the brain to a certain extent. However, if children's literacy is equated with early wisdom, the concepts of literacy and learning ability will be confused. It doesn't mean that children with more literacy will learn well in the future.
According to research, the best age for children to read is 3-6 years old. After two years of study, the children in the middle class can generally read about 1200 words. According to experts' analysis, if children learn 2000 Chinese characters before the age of 6, they will generally not have dyslexia. And 0-3 years old is the golden age of children's brain development. At this time, the more stimulation to the brain, the smarter the child. And people's feelings are nothing more than hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste and proprioception. As long as children receive more stimulation from these six aspects, they can comprehensively promote the neural development of the brain, and our early education center is to provide children with a variety of stimulation opportunities.
Therefore, when children are still in contact with the world, parents should not be too impatient. The focus of our education is to cultivate children's all-round development, familiarity with common sense of life and independence in early education, instead of learning hundreds of Chinese characters before going to kindergarten, but they can't even take care of themselves, can't live without their parents and can't integrate into kindergarten.
Children should not read too early.
A kindergarten teacher in New Zealand told us two true stories: the teacher has two children. When the second daughter was born, she nursed the baby and read fairy tales to her 3-year-old daughter many times in a few days. One day, while busy changing the baby's diaper, the 3-year-old daughter picked up the book and read it word for word. When she got to the right place, she could turn the page accurately. You know, it was a book with many words, and the teacher couldn't help exclaiming, "Wow, I gave birth to a genius!" "
Later, the eldest daughter, 7 years old, just moved and dug up this book. Mom said, "Look, this is your favorite book when you were a child. You can still read it at that time!" " By this time, the eldest daughter had learned to read, so she picked up the book and read it again, but it was difficult to say anything. The teacher explained to us that when the eldest daughter "read" this book at the age of 3, she actually just imitated and recited it, because the mother read it many times and the child unconsciously remembered the contents of the book. By the age of seven, when reading needs brain processing, recognition and understanding, it is not as smooth as before. This is the real reading of this child.
When a teacher went to teach in a school in Australia, the headmaster told her a story: every child will attend an interview when he enters school. In order to understand the children's reading ability, the headmaster has prepared different levels of reading books for the children, and each level has different colors. There is a family with five children, all of whom studied in this school and participated in interviews. One year, it was finally the youngest child's turn to interview. He quickly finished reading the first and second levels, and all the reading materials below the highest level read smoothly. The headmaster was surprised and wanted to know how the child's reading ability was so strong. The headmaster made a move to find one of the books and let the children find a word. The child went blind at once. In fact, he remembered the contents of the book after repeatedly listening to his brother and sister's reading, not really reading.
Children have no semantic memory before the age of 3, only physical and emotional memory. At the age of three, when the child's self-awareness germinated and he stopped calling himself "baby" and called himself "me", he began to really remember. So early independent reading is actually meaningless. Children's life experience is very limited and they lack understanding of the world. Give him a book, even if he knows every word and can read it, he doesn't understand what he is reading. What preschool children need most is not book knowledge, but personal experience of life and interpretation of these experiences with their own feelings, so as to lay the necessary foundation for future semantic learning. A very young child doesn't even know what his body is doing. He needs to know his hands and feet. Everything in the world needs him to explore, discover, touch and play, leaving a mark on his brain, including the relationship between people, and also needs him to discover the mystery through personal experience. With these experiences, he won't really understand the meaning of words until he gets to school.
Both ancient educators and modern scientists tell us that children's language ability (including writing ability) is closely related to their sports ability, and children with good sports ability have strong language ability. The loop of human cognition and reaction is "body-emotion-reason", and our brain is deeply influenced by the body, which is particularly prominent in young children. Nature has arranged for human children to feel and learn with their bodies before going to school. They develop their brains during exercise, while children show that their brains are moving and resting during rest. Therefore, if we want our children to develop well in language and writing in the future, the best way is definitely not to let them recite static words, but to let them run and play in nature and encourage them to exercise and play more.
I don't advocate letting children study at an early age, which will destroy their visual nerve development. I also don't advocate letting children study instead of reading, which will disturb the development of children's memory nerves. The purpose of literacy is reading, and reading must be meaningful on the basis of understanding in order to keep children interested.
There are some stories of "prodigies" circulating in the market. These children can read two or three thousand words at the age of three or five. But this "literacy" is meaningless. Even if a three-year-old child can read newspapers fluently, he can't understand the information conveyed by these words. This kind of "skill", in addition to satisfying parents' psychology of showing off, does far more harm than good to children.
