There is a child about the same age in the community who also likes to play and plays well. Children at home are more excited to see it. For several days, they played downstairs every afternoon 1 hour.
At first, I played ball with such a big child. I just want to do more exercise with her and play together. I didn't expect it to be a good opportunity to cultivate children's ability to resist setbacks and concentrate.
1. It doesn't matter if you lose.
The children at home are in kindergarten. Although they are only a few months old, they like to be ahead in everything and strive for the first place. In fact, there is no such environment to compete for the first place in the family. It should be that I am more competitive with my father's character.
When they first learned to play ball, the children were very depressed and discouraged when they couldn't catch the ball. If they miss the ball, they won't catch it well or pick it up. It's no use yelling at such a big child. You have to think about how to encourage her.
At the end of last semester, I communicated with my teacher. The teacher mentioned that children sometimes say they want to go home under the teacher's slight criticism. I began to think about how to improve children's ability to resist setbacks. I want to tell my children that it doesn't matter if they are not the first, and sometimes it doesn't matter if they don't do well.
At first, I thought of reading picture books to my children, and later I thought that this scene was not the best opportunity.
I told her, "I didn't give my mother the racket, I just touched the ball." It's amazing. " Mom didn't get it at first when she was a child, and she didn't play as well as you. "
Hearing their mother's encouragement, the children gained more confidence and improved their mood, and continued to play.
Of course, the ball still leaks often. I went on to say, "It doesn't matter if you can't catch it, and it doesn't matter if you miss it. The important thing is to be ready to catch the next ball. "
I don't know if she fully understands it. I just keep telling her that as long as she catches the ball carefully, she will make progress, and nothing else is important.
It can be seen that children are not always trapped in negative emotions. If they miss a ball, they will not moan and cry, but they will be very happy when they receive it.
2. Pay attention to watching and catching the ball
Before I was two and a half years old, I was searching for all kinds of early education enlightenment games and activities to take my children to play. In order to attract her attention, she will be interrupted from time to time when the child is playing, which will lead to the child's inattention.
More than 3 years old realized this problem and began to give children more time and space to play by themselves, but the effect was not good. After playing for a while, they called their mother.
There has been no good way until I played badminton recently.
I found that she was particularly keen on playing badminton. Although there are many other children playing with various toys and activities in Little Square, children can play for more than an hour without changing clothes or having a rest.
Sometimes when she is ready to serve and start a new game, she will stand and watch what other children are playing. At this time, I began to remind her that "the ball is coming, watch the ball" and pulled her back to the game. At the same time, I realize that this is a good time to cultivate children's concentration.
I accelerated the speed of picking up the ball and serving, let her return to the set position, raise the racket, and prepare to catch the ball before serving.
Later, I didn't speak, so I motioned for him to raise his racket and prepare to catch the ball. Gradually found that her attention can be focused on playing ball for a long time.
finally
I heard a parenting blogger share that "education is not sitting in a dangerous position at a certain moment, but nourishing things all the time in life."
Playing badminton, which was not taken seriously at first, solved my two difficulties at the same time. It doesn't matter how the ball is played. It is important that while the child is happy, she can improve her anti-frustration ability and concentration, thus achieving multiple goals.
