This is a book that "loves" children, not a book that "teaches" children.
"Mom and Dad, if you don't accompany me, I will grow up." This is an article that has been forwarded countless times in the circle of friends recently, which has caused many netizens, especially parents, infinite feelings and even heartache. On weekdays, I go to work and my two children go to early education. I really miss the unforgettable time of my two children. It's winter vacation at last. I have time to get along with my two babies day and night, and suddenly I find that I don't understand the child's "small password".
At a loss, I remembered the book "The Sensitive Period of Grasping Children" lent to me by my friend. Although I have seen it intermittently before, I don't understand the true meaning after all. Now it's like getting a treasure, savoring its connotation carefully and regretting that it was ignored at first sight.
Touching the page and smelling the ink, I was delighted to find Sun Ruixue's special exposition on some important sensitive periods, such as "children think with their hands", "time-space sensitive period" and "interpersonal sensitive period". After reading it, I deeply realized how important the development of each sensitive period is to the growth of children!
The so-called sensitive period refers to the process in which children, driven by internal vitality, concentrate on absorbing the characteristics of something in the environment during their growth from 0 to 6 years old and repeat this practice within a certain period of time. After successfully passing through the sensitive period, the child's psychological level will rise from one level to another.
In the book, Teacher Sun Ruixue uses more than 200 children's examples to describe the existence and characteristics of the sensitive period. As I watched it, I compared the situation of the two babies and the situation introduced in the book, and all kinds of "headache events" reappeared in my mind. My two children went to early education at the age of 2 years and 7 months. When they first arrived, they were depressed, refused to be hugged by their teachers, refused to share toys with their children, and refused everything around them. The lack of this "social" sensitive period has made the two children very introverted. I learned from the book that children must live in an adaptive environment, which should be natural and harmonious, and should be positive and friendly.
Teacher Sun Ruixue found that children's sensitive period is also flexible. If children aged 0-6 do not develop well in the sensitive period, they can still have a chance to make up for it at the age of 6- 12. But there is a premise that children must have a growing environment full of love and freedom during the period of 6- 12 years old. However, under the pressure of study, many children in this age group have neither the tolerance and care from their parents before the age of 6, nor the respect when they grow up, and their hearts are lonely.
As a junior high school teacher, I see this phenomenon everywhere. This inner loneliness makes thirteen or fourteen-year-old children rebel, and our painstaking education and hard and soft guidance have little effect. From this book, I found that paying attention to children's sensitive period is extremely critical to the growth of junior high school students. The life of the children in the book is really good! So full of concentration, let us fully see the importance of sensitive period to children's development. I am also more determined to fully respect the development of sensitive children.
As the saying goes, you are old at the age of three, and you are old at the age of seven. Three years old determines a child's life, so we must pay attention to it.
A good book will wake us up and enlighten us. Grasping the sensitive period of children will benefit you for life.
