Outline of self-care ability education in kindergartens Part I: Cultivation of children's self-care ability
Because children are relatively young, their self-care ability is weak, and parents take care of them, in order to encourage and cultivate children to form good living habits, parents should pay more attention to providing children with good opportunities for self-care and self-reliance. Our kindergarten has launched a competition on children's self-care ability with the theme of "doing their own thing", and the content of the competition is "folding clothes". The purpose is to gradually cultivate children's self-care ability through the development of competition activities.
10 June 14 afternoon, the children's self-care ability competition began with cheers and encouragement. The game was extremely intense. Every child who participated in the competition did his best and successfully completed the task. The children sitting around watching are not to be outdone, cheering for the children participating in the competition. The cheers were deafening and the whole game was in full swing. With the teacher's command, the children began their "work" in an orderly way. Look, the children quickly folded the clothes one by one, and in a short time they were neatly folded. They couldn't wait to report the results to the teacher one by one, with their hands held high and proud smiles on their faces.
This activity not only exercises and cultivates children's self-care ability, but also allows children to experience the joy of their own labor in the activity. The whole activity was a great success. The cultivation of children's good self-care ability should permeate all aspects of daily life and also need the support and cooperation of parents. I believe that with the joint efforts of their families, children's self-care ability will be well developed.
Outline of self-care ability education in kindergartens Part II: Cultivation of children's self-care ability
Mr. Chen Heqin, an educator in China, said: "Let children do what they can." This is not only important to cultivate children's independence and self-care ability, but also important to cultivate children's sense of responsibility, so that children can be responsible for their own lives and behaviors.
In real life, what is the actual development of children? Since the beginning of school, through the observation and understanding of the children in this class, I found that the children in our class have few opportunities to do it at home and are very dependent because of their young age. In addition, some parents who are anxious to save trouble have created some problems in going to the toilet, eating, drinking water and taking a nap. During the home visit, we also learned that some parents gave their children special toilet training before they went to kindergarten, and at the same time, most children could not go to the toilet independently. Most children wear shoes without laces at home, and they can't tell the right from the left. Individual children can't wear shoes and socks by themselves, and they don't feel like wearing them at all. On the placement of toys: most parents will remind their children to tidy up their toys after playing at home, and some children can put the used things back; Some children don't know what organizing is, why they should organize their own things, and how to organize their own things. From these, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that children aged 2 ~ 3 are poor in self-service ability.
So what is the reason? For example, now we ask children to take the stairs by themselves when they enter the park, but there are always some parents who will help them. One day, the grandmother of one of our children came into the classroom panting with her nephew in her arms and looked at her like that. I really didn't know what to say, so I said to her nephew, "Kay, grandma is so tired." Will the baby come up by himself in the future? " Leng Leng's grandmother said, "The baby is too tired to go to the third floor." After listening to her words, I could hardly laugh or cry. In daily life, we always emphasize that children should do their own things. However, due to the lack of educational awareness in this area, some parents think that their children are still young and ignorant, so they have arranged everything for their children. How can this cultivate children's independent processing ability?
As teachers, we clearly see the problems of children, correctly grasp the prime time of children before they are three years old, and cultivate their self-service ability. First of all, treat the child as a complete and independent individual and establish an intimate, equal and harmonious relationship. Secondly, let go of your hands and feet to provide children with as many learning opportunities as possible. Opportunity is the premise of learning. With the opportunity, it is possible for children to practice.
First, create a relaxed, safe and warm learning atmosphere for children.
The research of child psychology shows that the initiative of psychological activities in early childhood is obviously increased. People like to say "I can do it" and "I will do it myself", and like to try and experience it by themselves. Therefore, in the morning reception, insist on giving the child a bright smile or warm hug every day to eliminate the child's nervous psychology and encourage the child to actively express the need to go to the toilet to the teacher in words. Give timely praise to the children who speak out loudly. Also, create related morning conversations.
Second, education is carried out in one day's life
Taking life activities as the starting point, help children solve life problems such as washing, going to the toilet, eating and taking a nap. According to the age characteristics of children aged 2-3, a hand-washing song "Rub some soap, pinch the palm of your hand, pinch the back of your hand, hold your fist, wash your hands with water" was created in the life game. Children quickly mastered the correct way to wash their hands; In view of the difficulty of wearing shoes for children in this class, I thought it over and wrote a children's song: Little shoes are together, friends are happy, little feet come quickly and live in the belly. Training children's skills, watching children's demonstration of wearing shoes in large classes, and launching a fierce competition of "finding a home with little feet" have cultivated children's hands-on operation ability and stimulated their service consciousness. Nowadays, children can wear small shoes when they get up after a nap, and there are pictures of children who wear fast to help children who wear slowly.
Second, make rational use of parents' resources to jointly improve children's self-service awareness.
Do a good job in family education, communicate with parents about their children's self-care in time, and discuss relevant measures together, so that individual parents can seriously realize that although their children are young, they can also do some housework within their power. For example, you can put bowls and chopsticks before meals; Wipe tables and chairs; Take out the garbage; As parents, we should insist on letting our children do it by themselves, give them enough time and never do it for them. In the face of the inevitable failure of young children, never treat them in a simple and rude way, so as not to dampen their self-esteem and enthusiasm for learning. Kindergartens and families jointly establish an incentive mechanism to reward children's progress in time and stimulate their interest in further study. At the same time, it is expressed through the child's growth file.
Marx once brilliantly pointed out: "The combination of education and productive labor is the only way to cultivate people with all-round development." The purpose of encouraging children to participate in the labor within their ability is not to provide much service and create much value for themselves, others and even society, but to cultivate all-round social people through labor. Because children's persistence in doing things is poor, teachers and parents need to remind them often and encourage them in time to enhance their interest in learning to do things, so that children can initially develop a good habit of doing things from beginning to end and being responsible for the end.
In short, teaching children to learn to do their own things can not only cultivate their independence, but also cultivate their love for labor. This is of positive significance to the growth of young children.
On self-care ability education in kindergartens Part III: Cultivation of self-care ability
1, aspects of eating:
After half a year's hard work, I can obviously eat independently, but the speed and quantity of eating will be slightly worse, and I always like to eat white rice before eating vegetables. Sometimes I eat and play; So we made a plan, Jia Jia can eat independently with one mouthful of rice and one mouthful of vegetable fields. At first, we will give rewards in the form of small stickers, but because there are many stickers at home, this form is gradually useless. We also use the age characteristics of young children to guide her by distinguishing boys from girls. We will call her "Little Princess" if we can have a bite of food and eat it at a good speed. Hearing this, she was very happy and sensitive. Until now, this method is still very useful. Obviously, I have been able to eat independently with chopsticks, and I have got rid of the bad habit of playing while eating, and I have a good appetite.
2. In terms of siesta:
Obviously, you can dress and undress yourself, and you can fold clothes (sometimes a little lazy). Sometimes I need to take a nap during sleep, hoping to sleep independently with Ming Ming's age.
3. In the field of health:
Through the physical test of children, we found that Mingming's balance ability is very good, but he lacks in jumping on one foot, running back and forth and throwing. I hope parents can cooperate with us and promote her progress. Such activities can be carried out in the form of games at home.
Outline of kindergarten self-care ability education Part IV: Cultivation of children's self-care ability
According to the educational principle of "Let the children do whatever they can". Children grow up to two or three years old and have a strong desire for independence. We should take advantage of the situation and start to cultivate children's initial self-care ability and basic habits in daily life. However, as the only child in modern families, parents are investing more and more in all aspects of their children, but they ignore the cultivation of their self-care ability.
First, small class assignments start here.
According to the educational principle of "Let the children do whatever they can". Children grow up to two or three years old and have a strong desire for independence. We should take advantage of the situation and start to cultivate children's initial self-care ability and basic habits in daily life. However, as the only child in modern families, parents are investing more and more in all aspects of their children, but neglecting the cultivation of their self-care ability. They spoil their children too much and do everything instead, which has become the biggest obstacle to their independent development. After entering the kindergarten, many children can't eat independently, wash their hands and faces, urinate and defecate, and wear simple clothes. Therefore, it is an important task for our teachers to help children adapt to kindergarten life as soon as possible and improve their self-care ability.
Second, 2-3-year-old children's self-care ability is weak.
First, parents care too much, and many things that children should do by themselves are used to being arranged by their parents. Children are the "little sun", "little emperor" and "darling" at home. Many adults around him at home make them happy, thinking that as long as the children eat well, they will be healthy. Therefore, many children have to feed, and some grandparents have to have a good meal with them, or let the children watch TV while feeding; Helping them urinate and get dressed is considered an obligation by adults. But I don't know that children's desire for independence will gradually disappear, resulting in dependence and slow development.
Second, I think children are young and have poor ability, and it is not too late to study in the future.
In life, we often hear children's demands: "I'll wash it, I'll get it, myself … and so on". But the answer is often: "No, you are too young to do it." Many parents believe that when children reach a certain age, they naturally learn to dress and eat by themselves. Now that children are young, there is no need to rush to let them do it themselves, and the younger they are, the harder it is to teach, and the faster they go to college. Therefore, children who grow up like this have to do everything by themselves at home, almost all of which are arranged by adults, and they have developed a serious dependence psychology, which makes them lag behind other children in all aspects of development.
Third, I am afraid of trouble and feel that my child is slow to respond or eat dirty.
Because the child's small muscles are underdeveloped, the self-control ability is poor, and the hand-eye coordination is not enough. Let the children eat by themselves, often on the table and on the ground. My parents are too dirty, so I think it is better to feed them quickly. Some children want to wash their hands by themselves, but their hands are not clean and their clothes are wet. His parents regretted not washing it for him. Children have to dress themselves, and as a result, their clothes are put on backwards, which delays working hours. Therefore, many parents think that it is better to do it by themselves than to let their children do it, which saves time and trouble. In fact, parents refuse to let their children do it by themselves, which hurts their self-esteem and self-confidence and hinders the development of their ability and independence.
Third, the purpose and necessity of cultivating the self-care ability of children aged 2-3.
2-3 years old is the key period of growth and development. Cultivating children's self-care ability through their learning participation, training and doing something within their power is conducive to children's action development. 2-3-year-old children are also the best period for ability training, and good living ability will benefit them for life. Therefore, combined with the age characteristics of children aged 2-3, we must be clear:
1) It is necessary to cultivate the self-care ability of children aged 2-3 to adapt to the collective life of kindergartens.
Children enter kindergarten from home and a new world, which enlarges their life circle, new environment and fun toys, and strongly attracts their curiosity. They like studying and living in kindergarten. But they can't take care of themselves such as washing their hands, eating and dressing, so they can't adapt to kindergarten life quickly.
2) Cultivate the self-care ability of children aged 2-3, and promote the development of children's large and small muscle groups and sports coordination ability.
The famous Italian educator Montessori pointed out that action education is one of the courses of daily life practice, and its main purpose is to cultivate children's self-management ability, sense of responsibility and good living habits. Cultivating the self-care ability of 2-3-year-old children will promote the development of children's large and small muscle groups and motor coordination ability, such as eating. Children not only learn the motor skills of hand feeding, but also develop their finger muscle flexibility and hand-eye coordination ability. Therefore, every time a child learns an action and ability, his large and small muscle groups and action coordination will also develop accordingly.
3) Cultivating the self-care ability of 2-3-year-old children is helpful to cultivate children's independence and self-confidence, independent of adults' personality.
2-3-year-old children's self-care ability is to learn to eat independently with a spoon, drink water with a cup, wash their hands, wear simple clothes and pants, etc. However, at first, children couldn't wear clothes, sleeves couldn't get in, and buttons didn't work well, all of which were helped by adults at home. Kindergarten should learn to wear it by itself. Button holes are not aligned. As long as it is aligned once or twice until it is aligned, the pants can't be pulled up. Pull hard until you put it on. In the process of children learning self-care skills, teachers give appropriate encouragement, establish children's self-confidence and let children know how to do their own things. While improving their abilities, children also cultivate good habits of facing difficulties bravely, daring to overcome difficulties, working hard and doing things independently. This kind of firmness, independence and self-confidence is a good personality quality for high-quality talents to adapt to the future society.
4) link the cultivation of life ability with parents' work.
Parents are children's first teachers, and it is inseparable from parents' cooperation to cultivate and train children well. To this end, we write the monthly training objectives in the contact cabinet at home and explain the contents for parents to understand. At the same time, parents are required to provide convenience for their children, clothes are light and easy for children to operate, and parents are required to conduct synchronous training at home. Hold a parent forum to publicize the importance of children's ability training, talk about training methods and children's progress, and teach some teaching skills. We also specially designed a beautiful bird for each child, with pictures of the children in it. When a child's self-care ability meets the requirements or improves, he will stick feathers of corresponding colors on his bird to see who is the most beautiful. This not only pays attention to the individual differences of children, but also fully affirms their development. At the same time, parents can be clear about their children's development at a glance, and can urge parents to actively cooperate with teachers to jointly improve their children's life skills. Many parents said: "After entering the park, children have a strong sense of independence and are willing to do many things themselves. Teachers help children develop good living habits and improve their self-care ability. "
With the development of quality education, it is very important to improve children's self-care ability. Mr. Chen Heqin attaches great importance to the cultivation of children's habits, and believes that "well-cultivated habits are blessed for life, and poorly cultivated habits are a lifelong suffering." Cultivating children's good living habits and self-care ability can lay a foundation for their lives. The cultivation of small-class children's self-care ability has both stages and continuity. How to further improve the self-care ability of 2-3-year-old children needs further research in order to better complete the task of child care.
On self-care ability education in kindergartens Part V: Cultivating children's self-care ability in games.
Small class children are young, dependent and have poor self-care ability. Especially in today's intellectual education, children's self-care ability is often ignored by parents; Grandparents, in particular, are deeply concerned about their children, fearing that they will "suffer" and that they will not do well. When they teach their children to do things, they will do it for them in advance.
However, in kindergarten, a teacher has to take care of dozens of children. If he is like his grandparents, how can he take care of them? Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate children's self-care ability from an early age.
One day, during outdoor activities, I found some children playing on the trampoline, and many shoes fell to the ground. I immediately realized that "children's self-care ability can be cultivated through play", so why not hold a shoe competition? So I was busy greeting the children and explaining the rules of the game to them.
The game began, and only a few capable children quickly put on their shoes, jumped up happily and cheered to celebrate the victory. Finally, only Hou's children were left. He cried and said, "I can't wear it, I can't wear it ..." Other children also came to me and said, "Teacher, Hou can't wear shoes, and he cried." I said, "It doesn't matter, Ji Han is great. I'm sure I can wear it. " Hearing my encouragement, he said, "I can wear it." I praised him, and the children shouted, "Come on Hou Hanzhi, come on Hou Hanzhi ..." He slowly learned to wear shoes with my encouragement and the cheers of the children. In this way, with the cheers of the children and the encouragement of the teacher, Han Zhi finally put on his shoes and jumped up happily. Everyone cheered and applauded for him. I gave him my thumb and he smiled.
Through many such activities, teachers do not hesitate to encourage, praise and praise, which can not only exercise children's self-care ability, promote their physical and mental development, but also enhance their self-confidence.
