For young children, the most important thing is not the study of cultural knowledge, but the cultivation of good living habits and study habits. 3-6 years old is a critical period in life, and many habits will be formed at this stage. These habits will accompany people's life and have an important influence in the unconscious state. Teachers should deeply understand the importance of formative education and adopt effective methods to educate children.

British educator Locke said: "In fact, all education comes down to cultivating children's good habits." Since the "nurturing" education for children is so important, what kind of training methods should kindergarten teachers adopt to implement the "nurturing" education for children in the teaching process? This is a problem worthy of discussion and concern. Combined with teaching experience, the author talks about his own superficial views.

First, the importance of children's "nurturing" education

Children's "cultivation" education refers to the education of cultivating children's good behavior habits. Ye Shengtao once said, "What is education? In a word, it is to develop good habits. " "Three years old is older than seven years old", so we should pay attention to the cultivation of children's good habits in early childhood. But at present, many parents have two wrong views on the education of children's "cultivation": one is that children in early childhood are so young that they don't need to cultivate any good habits, as long as they grow up healthily, and the same is true for older children. According to the survey, 3- 12 years old is a human body. Therefore, parents and kindergarten teachers should seize the critical period to cultivate good behavior habits, which will get twice the result with half the effort; The other is that although parents attach importance to children's "cultivation" education, they pay more attention to language habits and thinking habits, pay too much attention to children's intellectual development and knowledge transmission, and ignore the cultivation of behavior habits. They don't know that cultivating habits is more important than imparting knowledge. As ushinski said: Good habits are the moral capital that people have in a certain nervous system, which keeps increasing in value and people enjoy its benefits in life. Therefore, parents should correct these two wrong "parenting" educational ideas and pay enough attention to their children's parenting education on the basis of full understanding.

Second, the way to cultivate children "nurturing" education

1. Interpretation of behavior and formulation of rules

Many parents and kindergarten teachers blindly emphasize that children can't do these things and can do those things when cultivating their children's behavior habits. They won't tell their children what the reason is, and they won't let them know what the consequences will be if they do forbidden things, so that children don't know much about many behavior habits. Although children's understanding ability is limited, parents and teachers can make the rules of behavior fairytale and fable in plain language. Only by letting children better understand some codes of conduct can they reach a consensus on the importance of good behavior habits in their hearts. For example, when cultivating children's hygiene habits, some children don't like to wash their faces. At this time, parents can tell their children: Do you know why so many sheep like American sheep? That's because American sheep love cleanliness. Only by paying attention to hygiene can we make many friends and become as popular as Meiyangyang. In addition, in the formulation of some rules, parents and teachers should let their children participate in the formulation of specific rules, which can not only exercise their thinking ability, but also help them implement some rules. However, parents and kindergarten teachers should pay attention to the simplification and concreteness of the rules when formulating them, and it is best to link them with children's likes and dislikes, so as to guide children to participate in the formulation of the rules. For example, in kindergarten class, some children like to talk nonstop, which affects the development of classroom teaching. At this time, the teacher should not just stop and criticize, but should say that there are children talking all the time, so that you can hear what the teacher is saying clearly. The child said, I can't hear you clearly. The teacher can ask the child: So how can I hear clearly? Some children will say that we should not talk when the teacher is in class. At this time, the teacher should take the opportunity to say yes. If you don't talk when the teacher is talking, you can hear more clearly, and you can let the children participate in the formulation of class rules, so that the children can realize the change from "I must abide by the rules" to "I will actively abide by the rules".

2. Carry out various game activities.

For young children, boring preaching is far less attractive than a game, and good habits can't be developed overnight. Therefore, in the teaching process, we can take various games to encourage children to cultivate good habits in games. For example, some realistic activity scenes can be simulated, so that children can play roles, such as "children's shops" and "children's families", so that children can understand that they should be polite when speaking, learn to care for others, care for public products, etc., and apply and consolidate the good habits they have learned in role-playing to cultivate good behavior habits.

Set a good example

Children have conformity psychology and imitation psychology. Teachers and parents are the people they often contact. Many children like to imitate some behaviors of their parents and teachers. Therefore, parents and teachers need to set an example for their children in various behavior habits, thus forming an atmosphere and promoting the development of children's good behavior habits in a subtle way. In some families, parents have a set of standards for their children, but lowering the standards for themselves, being strict with their children and being lenient with themselves will make children confused about some behavior habits and don't know what to do in the end. Not only is it not conducive to the development of good behavior habits, but it is also easy for children to develop the habit of lying and dishonesty. For example, some parents ask their children to be polite, not to swear, and to use civilized language. But some parents often have some uncivilized language when talking to people on the phone. At this time, although children don't understand the meaning of these uncivilized terms, their imitation ability is very strong. Sometimes parents may only say it once and then remember it. When talking to others, they will also use some uncivilized language, thus forming a bad habit of speaking impolitely. In addition, parents and kindergarten teachers should strengthen communication, implement family education and promote "parenting" education.

4. Strict supervision and inspection.

Although many parents and teachers understand the importance of "nurturing" education, they have also formulated corresponding rules and systems. However, in the specific implementation process, due to the weak parents and the heavy workload of teachers, there is no strict supervision and inspection of children's behavior habits. They can urge children to correct some bad behaviors in time, such as not caring about food and not strictly checking the cultivation of some good habits, such as throwing garbage into the dustbin. The cultivation of good behavior habits is a long-term and arduous task. Only by letting children repeat all kinds of good behaviors and habits can they develop good behavior habits. Especially for children with low self-control and restraint, strict supervision and inspection by parents and teachers are needed. To sum up, formative education in early childhood is very important. We should fully respect children's wishes, let children participate in the formulation of some rules in kindergartens and families, create various teaching activities for children, and take targeted measures in light of their actual situation to cultivate children's good living and study habits. Parents, teachers and children should work together to promote the development of children's good habits.
