Children's cognition has its own rules. For example, children aged 4-7 are still intuitive. They recognize things by seeing, touching and hearing some attributes, including color and shape. For example, there is an apple on the table. Kindergarten children know it is an apple, but if you ask him what is the fruit on the table, he may not know it is an apple.
After 7 or 8 years old, children's abstract thinking begins to develop, but at this stage, children's abstract thinking is not perfect, and it will be difficult to have a slightly more complicated abstract thinking, which is also the reason why children often can't understand what their parents are saying.
Therefore, the enlightenment of early childhood education needs to use these characteristics of children to carry out education, so that children can really understand, rather than relying on mechanical memory to recite, which is also the reason why the state advocates kindergarten to primary school education. Here is a real example. A colleague's son can recite 100 poems and count to 100 before he is 6 years old. Addition and subtraction within 20 is not a problem, but after the third grade, his grades are below the average.
Second, in line with children's psychology
Children's psychology is different from that of adults. They don't have many miscellaneous ideas, but they have sensitivity and curiosity that adults don't have. Making good use of children's curiosity will make children interested in knowledge and take the initiative to explore and learn. As we all know, active learning and passive indoctrination are very different, and the final effect is completely different. Active learning benefits children for life, while passive indoctrination only treats children as tasks, and once they feel that they have completed their tasks, they will indulge.
In addition, we must take care of the child's sensitivity and avoid causing psychological harm to the child. For example, children in kindergarten classes have a strong sense of victory and defeat. If they lose badly, they will burst into tears and even collapse. In several online games, the winner gets two awards and the loser gets one award. This is a fact.
Third, think independently.
Thinking is the source of children's wisdom. Whether children can be guided to think in early childhood education determines the effect of education. However, when many parents educate their children, they often can't help them solve problems as soon as they see them, which makes them lose the opportunity to think.
Under normal circumstances, children encounter problems. If they don't give help, it is difficult to improve, but if they give too much help, they can't improve. So the most important thing is to guide questions in a logical way (such as what you see and what you think), so that children can find their own answers through thinking. It is more important to guide people to be patient. Every time you ask a question, you must give your child enough time to think. If the child doesn't understand, use simpler questions until the child understands.
Fourth, reasonable communication.
In order to control their children, many parents often maintain their dignity. Children will be scolded when they make mistakes. When children and parents have different views, they are also reprimanded; The child has strange remarks and is also reprimanded …
In this way, children become easy to manage, but they also lose their aura, imagination and vitality. They restrain themselves and suppress themselves with behavior standards that do not meet their age.
The correct way is to communicate patiently with children when they make mistakes, listen to their thoughts and then give reasonable guidance; When you have differences with your children, argue with them. If children express their ideas reasonably, parents should affirm them. When children have strange remarks, as long as there is nothing wrong, praise their imagination and so on.
Verb (short for verb) is a good habit.
The habits formed in kindergarten can benefit children for life. A Nobel Prize in Literature winner once said that the school that provided the greatest help to his research results was kindergarten, where he learned more about good habits, such as washing hands before meals, sharing and being polite. Therefore, it is very important to develop a good habit for children in early childhood. Parents should pay attention to it and set an example. There is a saying that "what kind of person do you want your child to be, what kind of person do you want to be first", and parents have the greatest influence on their children. Children who like learning, their parents generally like learning, and polite children, their parents are also polite.
Sixth, emotional cognition.
It is also very important to educate children on emotional cognition, which is often ignored by parents, such as sympathy, one's own emotions and others' emotions. What kind of thoughts you should have when facing other people's joys and sorrows, and so on. It should be emphasized that the most important thing in children's emotional cognitive education is the companionship of family members. Nowadays, many parents are busy with their work, but ignore the companionship and interaction with their children, which will make their children's emotional world scarce and even cause psychological problems.
