Cultural sensitive period
Photosensitive period (0-3 months)
Features: Newborn babies are very sensitive to light. At this time, they need to adapt to the light difference between day and night, so they should open the curtains during the day and turn off the lights at night to let the baby adapt to nature.
The lights have changed.
Montessori case: You can show your baby more black and white pictures.
The sensitive period of taste development (4-7 months)
Features: the baby's own mouth can feel sweet, salty, sour and other flavors. Montessori case: At the beginning of adding complementary food, we must pay attention to the diet list to protect the baby's taste sensitivity.
O cavity sensitive period (4- 12 months)
Features: At this time, the baby likes to eat his hands. He is trying and feeling with his mouth, even some abstract concepts: give the baby a chance to develop his mouth, let the baby eat enough, and don't take the baby's hand away from his mouth mercilessly.
Sensitive period of arm development (6- 12 months)
Features: Children like to throw things at this time. At this time, the earliest standard Montessori number case of hand-eye coordination development: please ask the caregiver not to control the baby's behavior and let him throw enough.
Gender sensitive period (4-5 years old)
Characteristics: Around 4 years old, children are most concerned about who is a boy and who is a girl. If someone goes to the bathroom, be sure to follow, because it is necessary to observe whether it is a boy or a girl.
Montessori case: children's exploration and understanding of the body comes from observation. Adults must be objective and scientific when explaining to their children, just like knowing their eyes, nose and mouth. Of course, encyclopedia is the best tool at this time.
Sensitive period of mathematical concepts (4.5-7 years old)
Features: Children are over 4 years old and always like to ask: How many people are there? What time is it? How many people are there? This is because children have a strong interest in names, numbers and numbers. But at this time, the child can't fully understand the logic, and can only match the names, numbers and quantities.
Montessori case: this is the initial development of children's mathematical intelligence. Only by mastering the trinity can we master the concept of number. At this time, children can buy some daily necessities for their families and exercise their computing and economic abilities by spending money.
Sensitive period of literacy (5-7 years old)
This is the child's first contact with symbols. Our method is to give children some character cards, so that children with characteristics can learn characters by matching their actions with the words they see.
At this stage, children can only understand the case of Montessori numbers macroscopically, that is, the whole image, but can't decompose the strokes of characters and can't write. Children will also be interested in some familiar words. For example, they will find that the words in their names appear in other places.
Extend the sensitive period of marriage (5-6 years old)
Features: This sensitive period after 5 years old is a continuation of the previous sensitive period of marriage.
Montessori case: At this time, the child's tendency to choose a spouse is very obvious, and he knows some simple marriage rules, such as only those who love each other can get married.
Sensitive period of self-awareness (1 year 6 months 1 3 years old)
Features: distinguish mine from yours, mine from yours. The main performance: from saying "mine" to saying "no" to hitting and biting people, and then imitating others, children gradually have a sense of self. At this time, the most common phenomenon of children is to divide me in order to get rid of you. At the same time, by saying "no", I say this is the most important thing. If something doesn't suit his mind, they will cry and make a scene, and the child's behavior is entirely up to them.
Montessori case: When children hit or bite, we just need to stop their behavior. For children, "hitting you" only means rejection. Don't condemn or preach, because that is different from rude behavior. Let children use themselves without violating the rules. Caution: Don't compete with children, this is a process for children to form themselves.
Self-awareness is the most important in all sensitive periods, because what kind of person we want to be in the future, whether the future is strong or not, and whether the ability is strong or not comes from the sensitive period of self-awareness formation. So protect yourself.
The sensitive period of consciousness formation is to ensure children's future personality strength, personality harmony and such an ability to stand in society in the future.
Sensitive period of social norms (2.5 to 4 years old)
Features: I like making friends and participating in group activities at first, which shows that children have entered a sensitive period of social norms. Being a parent in the sensitive period of social norms will help children learn to abide by social rules, life norms and daily etiquette, seize the opportunity to educate their children, and help them to abide by social norms, live a self-disciplined life and communicate with others easily in the future.
Montessori case: reaching out to more children. Generally, parents of 2-and-a-half-year-old children can prepare for entering the park, and kindergartens can provide a good environment for making friends.
Spatial sensitive period (3-4 years old)
Features: I like to build tall, three-dimensional and drilled boxes.
Montessori case: We can provide more similar toys, and at the same time, we can take this opportunity to learn all kinds of geometric figures, so as to lay an interest foundation for studying geometry in the future.
Color sensitive period (3-4 years old)
Characteristics: I began to feel and understand colors, and began to look for different colors in my life. The development of human cognition begins with sensory training. Montessori case: provide children with colorful pigments and doodle with them.
Sensitive period of logical thinking (3-5 years old)
Features: Interrupt the question "Why?" "Why is it dark?" "Why does it rain?" "Why do children go to kindergarten?" Wait a minute. These questions always confuse parents, while children are desperate to get to the bottom of it. When we give children answers again and again, children begin to have logical thinking. It is through this question and answer that children develop their thinking ability while understanding the objective world.
Montessori case: protecting children's precious curiosity. If parents can't answer questions, they can study with their children. It is very important to have an encyclopedia at home at this time, because the speed of cognition is twice the result with half the effort.
Sensitive period of cutting, pasting and painting (3-4 years old)
Features: children really consciously use tools from this moment on, which is the best opportunity for most children to establish a focused personality. Whether in the classroom or at home, children are happy to choose cutting, pasting, painting and so on as long as the materials are sufficient. From the perspective of physical development, this is also an important task for children to train hand-eye coordination. What parents should do is to provide their children with the materials they need and try not to disturb the children who are absorbed in their work.
Ask about the sensitive period of birth (4-5 years old)
Features: Children often begin to ask themselves where they come from at this time, and they should not be careless in asking adults' answers over and over again, because this is the earliest source of children's sense of security and the oldest philosophical question of mankind: Where do I come from? Montessori case: Parents carefully take out encyclopedias and scientifically tell their children the whole process of life formation.
Sensitive period of possessiveness (3-4 years old)
Characteristics: I began to feel strongly the happiness of owning and controlling my own things. Only when children have the material completely and can control it freely can they explore the spirit behind the material and transcend the possession of the material. When the ownership of these items belongs entirely to the children themselves, the exchange begins. At the same time, it also opened the prelude to interpersonal relationships.
Montessori case: provide children with an independent space, such as a room or area of their own. When you enter his room or area, you must ask the child's permission and respect the child's space.
Sensitive period of investigation (3-4 years old)
Features: Like the sensitive period of self-awareness, this sensitive period is more challenging for parents! Children aged 3-4 enter a sensitive period of obstinacy, and some children enter this sensitive period early when they are almost 3 years old. Explain that everything should be done according to his thoughts and intentions, otherwise his mood will change greatly, he will lose his temper, cry and make trouble. At this time, parents and teachers should give their children enough patience and care and learn some soothing skills.
The sensitive period of children's obstinacy may come from a sense of order. When constructing the special quality of sense of order, children's excessive demands are often considered as "willfulness" and "nonsense", but we think the concept of "stubbornness" is more accurate.
During this period, children are often inflexible and sometimes unreasonable. We don't know the real reason, but we know that children's psychological activities must be orderly, and when they don't go beyond this order, they will be strictly enforced.
Montessori case: the key to solving children's stubborn problems is understanding and adaptation. Understanding is not particularly difficult, but flexibility requires wisdom and skill. Only by adapting well can we successfully solve the problem and have the happiness that comes with it. How to master flexible skills is a subject we have been studying. It should be noted that the young couple's demand for order did not reach a stubborn level at first. At first, he would be upset and cry. With the gradual formation of himself, he raised this order to the level of consciousness and began to become stubborn and uncompromising.
