Foreign picture books describe children's daily life, such as the pride and anxiety shown by Thomas's little train transporting lions for the first time, just like people and things around us. The story shows the personality and psychological changes of the characters, which is fascinating. This is a place where domestic picture books are worth learning.
That's true, and if you are careful, you will also find that some famous books on parenting are mostly foreign, and they are either translated or adapted in China.
As far as children's research is concerned, foreign countries are indeed much ahead of ourselves, which is our biggest disadvantage.
Professor Zheng, who was very popular a while ago, gave an example:
Why are we1300 million people, but the number of people who won the Nobel Prize is far less than that of countries such as Britain, France, Germany and Japan?
Because children in these countries have had enough fun when they were young, they study hard when they go to college; And we are just the opposite.
The bottom of this example is actually our backwardness in children's education.
Let's see another one. There have been many experimental studies on children's psychology abroad decades ago, but there seem to be few experiments on children in China.
We are really catching up with foreign countries in the field of children's education. There is no doubt about it. Similarly, in recent years, many scholars who are not inferior to foreign countries have emerged in China, such as professors and uncle Kay.
It's not how tough these scholars are, yes, at least they haven't put forward any self-created theories, but because they can develop parenting according to the actual situation in China.
Then the problem is coming. Do you want to support children to read foreign picture books? Still have to support domestic production?
My personal feeling is that there should be strict screening, regardless of nationality. Because parenting is a big cake now, there is a market, and there are indeed some picture books that we can buy now, and a large part of them are "fast food" with worrying quality.
When you buy a picture book for your child, turn over the contents and replace the scene in your heart-pick up this picture book, how will you explain the knowledge points to your child, can you explain it?
I'm glad to answer this question. That's true. Our children have small classes in kindergarten, and usually read picture books, most of which are works by foreign authors.
There is no difference between foreign picture books and domestic picture books. However, if you have a pile of picture books in front of you, it is estimated that most people will take foreign picture books.
Why?
Compared with domestic authors, foreign authors have great advantages in picture books.
1. Creativity
2. Painting style
3. Content
4. Educational significance
5. Aesthetics
If we choose from these aspects, most foreign picture books are completely superior to domestic picture books.
Moreover, foreign picture books are introduced after being selected by publishing houses. This is the first choice.
Most of the picture books we usually contact are recommended by various platforms and media. This is the second option.
The works that can attract everyone's recommendation are definitely the best, so it is easy for us to have the illusion that most of the picture books read by kindergarten children are foreign.
There are too many excellent foreign writers: Miyanishi, Guido Van Sinatran, Itsumi Taro, David Shannon, anthony browne, Eric Carr, michael gray Nietz and so on.
China also has high-quality original authors, not many, but I can think of Peng Yi, Xiong Liang and Fang Suzhen. What about you?

So what?
It is noted that there are China picture books in China now, but it is not easy to popularize them, because foreign picture books are based on children's psychology, and some fairy tales in China are divorced from real life. Parents still like to preach.
Which do you choose, the patchwork garbage or the finely crafted essence? If you don't understand, you just haven't taken your children to read many picture books. If you can say what is excellent, don't beep here to say anything patriotic.
I have been reading to my children since I was six months pregnant. My daughter is 4 years old this year, and I have 4 years of parent-child reading experience. To be honest, I don't expect my children to develop good reading habits in kindergarten.
What kind of picture books do kindergartens choose? As parents, it is recommended to give advice at most, which will not change anything in essence.
There are also many excellent picture books in China! Look at your child's choice of kindergarten teachers!
Hello, I'm Malaysia! Stay-at-home mom, I've been taking care of my children since they were born! Reading is a great hobby of children now! I have my own ideas about how to choose picture books:
1. You can go to major platforms, such as Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, Taobao, Dangdang, and WeChat official account (Ma Guo Dai Wa) to find out which picture books children of different ages have first! Then choose a few according to the theme!
2. Know your child's preferences before buying a picture book! Buy whichever type you like! After all, books are for children! Interest first!
3. If the child is older, you can let the child go to the library or photo library to choose for himself!
4. Not all children listen, parents should give their children some guidance at ordinary times! We should do our homework in advance!
There are also good picture books in China, and of course there are more abroad! Because not only the content, but also the illustrations are worth knowing and seeing!
