Before the winter vacation, I bought some books about early education on Dangdang. One of them is Mr. J. Learn from early education experts how to develop children's potential. . This book condenses a lot of scientific parenting knowledge that she has spent nearly 1000 hours studying and practicing with cognitive teachers and kindergarten teachers in new york, as well as her own parenting experience.
Tonight, while the children go to bed early, I read the first part-the concept of potential development.
Now I will sort out the points I think are important as follows:
1. the essence of enlightenment education-what is the role of parents? Projecting a beam of light into children's hearts, the essence of preschool education is to provide children with more possibilities, and perhaps a beam of light will be reflected into a rainbow.
For example, we want our children to learn music and let them feel the beauty of music first. If you want children to learn painting, let them get in touch with famous paintings and enjoy a visual feast. If you want your child to read, let him experience the fun of reading first.
In short, all choices should be made because children like them, not because parents choose to replace their children's preferences.
All learning is boring, boring and painful in the end, but it is precisely because of the previous love, those experiences that we thought children didn't understand but made them feel the most primitive happiness, and those sparkling eyes that made them feel these will make them more determined and persistent than other children!
The role of parents is not to "release water", but to "light up" the child's heart.
Children with rich hearts are not "empty cups", but "cornucopia", a huge treasure that is not illuminated by light. The job of parents and educators is not to "water", but to help children "turn on the light". The treasure is already there, so we should respect the children's wishes and let them decide where to shine first.
For example, I recently encountered a similar problem when I showed Noble a picture book. I am always anxious to instill a complete story into my child, but if the child stays on a certain picture, I will immediately turn to the next page instead of her and finish reading it as if I had finished the task, so that I can feel at ease.
After reading this book today, I understand that we should focus on children's cognition and interest, then guide, ask more questions and instill less, know what level children's cognition is and where the starting point is, and then establish it. The significance of early education is not to grasp a milestone or goal that may not exist at all, but to maximize the effect of each early education according to the children's ability.
Remember, we are not educators, but awakens.
3. Playing is very important. Play is a way for children to learn, a job for children and a channel for children to connect with the world. The most important thing is to have fun, be stress-free and relax, which is the hub of parent-child relationship, and parent-child relationship is the premise of parent-child enlightenment.
4. With regard to early education, give the best within the scope of ability, know the best outside the scope of ability, and the best environment for early education must be relaxed and stress-free; The best early education teachers must be parents with a peaceful mind. Comparing everywhere, parents who are always anxious are doomed to fail to carry out high-quality early education.
5. The core of early education is not to learn anything, but to develop physical fitness (big exercise, fine exercise, balance ability, etc.). ) and sensory ability.
Some children are always careless, always make mistakes in the examination of questions, and can copy mistakes according to the copy. Maybe they didn't cultivate the ability of chasing light well when they were young, and they didn't know how to observe correctly. Some children write very slowly, and it is difficult to correct their pen-holding posture. Maybe their wrists and shoulders didn't exercise well when they were young. As a teacher, I am deeply touched by this.
6. For any pre-school education enlightenment, don't pursue fast, lay a solid foundation, prepare the "soil", and let the future "seeds" germinate healthily.
7. The real early education is not the study of waiting for death at a certain moment, but the silent moistening of things all the time. Only parents are responsible for their children, and any choice can achieve the best effect through continuous efforts.
8. Mathematics enlightenment is not to teach children to calculate, but to cultivate children's interest in mathematics and the ability of logical thinking.
9. Any enlightenment is pleasant, relaxed and integrated into daily life.
Through reading, I found that although I am an educator, I have many shortcomings in educating children. The road is simple. I hope all our parents can have a transparent and stable heart! Correct your own inherent ideas through learning and become a partner for children's growth. Let children become the masters of their own growth!
