The famous educator Suhomlinski said: "Children's intelligence is at your fingertips. Psychologists also think that fingers are "outposts of wisdom". "So how to cultivate the self-service ability of small class children?
Self-examination/introspection
In the past, teachers paid attention to observing children's cognitive ability and level, and children took care of their lives, but rarely observed what children would do. Most teachers don't want their children to do it for fear of accidents, which adds to the trouble. In the family, doting parents replace everything. Adults intentionally or unintentionally deprive children of the opportunity to start work, which limits the development of children's self-service ability, cultivates children's over-reliance character, and makes children lack the corresponding living ability and hands-on ability in adulthood, making it difficult to adapt to the requirements of social development. Children in small classes have been able to master all kinds of rough movements and some fine movements. Moreover, with the growth of age, the activities of the nervous system are further strengthened, and children's movements will be more flexible and organized. If we can let children do what they can according to their physiological and psychological characteristics, and help encourage them to finish what they do, children will experience a sense of happiness of success, thus forming a kind of self-confidence, which is an essential psychological quality for children to succeed in their future study and work.
How to Cultivate Small Class Children's Self-service Ability
1. Use games to stimulate children's interest.
For example, when teaching children to wear pants, let them use their trouser legs as caves and their feet as trains, and let them practice the game of drilling caves with trains. Practice repeatedly like this, and you will master the skill of wearing pants. For example, when teaching children to dress, I use the form of talking and doing, so that they can learn to dress in a pleasant atmosphere, "grab the collar, build a house, use the mouse, get out of the hole and sneak into the house." Children are very motivated to learn, and they will say it every time they dress. Colorful and flexible games, so that children can eliminate tension in the game and learn actively. Participating in exercise has developed children's curiosity and interest. From "I want to do it" to "I want to do it", the consciousness of self-service has begun to sprout.
2. Support children to do it themselves
Children have a strong desire for autonomy since they were two or three years old. They often stubbornly say "I'll do it myself" and "I'll eat it myself" to leave more opportunities for their children.
