Montessori Education —— Perceptual Sensory Education
Sensory education is to transmit information to the brain through the stimulation of vision, taste, smell, hearing and touch, and then to the senses through the brain, so that children can feel and develop the ability of concepts, thinking and understanding. In daily life, the first thing we come into contact with is not the cognitive education that we attach importance to now, but different facial stimuli. For example, the color you see is a visual stimulus, the touch is a tactile stimulus, the smell is a olfactory stimulus, and the taste is a taste stimulus. When we first come into contact with something we have never touched before, it is just a simple stimulus, and it seems to the brain that we encounter different information and feelings. Children lay the foundation of experience through these information and feelings. Next time you come into contact with something similar, you can use the last experience to make a judgment. At this time, the brain will associate the previous experience with the current experience. Therefore, in the process of human cognitive development, the only thing that children can rely on is the senses.

3~6 years old is the formative period of children's senses. At this time, if we can seize the opportunity to help children develop their senses naturally, we will seize the children's comprehensive self-education. Stimulating the child's feelings properly in early childhood will help him become a keen environmental observer and adapt to the present and future real life more easily. Therefore, the ultimate goal of sensory education will help children: first, understand the physical properties; Second, develop sensory perception; Third, the formation of the concept of help; Fourth, establish the foundation of logical thinking ability; The direct purpose of cultivating hand-eye coordination, concentration, independence and sense of order.

I deeply feel that one principle of sensory education is that language should be simplified, that is, simple, objective and correct. Usually, when teaching children to do things, they will unconsciously nag for fear that they will not understand, and they will also add many personal experiences and feelings. They don't realize that this will make children see things in our way, thus limiting their thinking.

In daily life, children at home play with building blocks. With the growth of age, he changed a lot of building blocks in the process of playing, during which his senses were stimulated. However, due to the chaotic environment, all kinds of toys are together, without guidance, immersed in their own world, sometimes throwing toys and playing around.
