First, teachers should set an example, care for children and cultivate their sense of gratitude.
Teachers are children's second parents and omniscient saints in children's eyes. Teachers' words and deeds have a subtle influence on children. Therefore, in daily activities, what teachers ask children to do must lead by example. We should not hesitate to say "thank you" for the caring behavior shown by children ... When we always care about children and appreciate the help of others, we will leave a deep impression on children, and maybe they will have similar behavior one day. In the activity of educating children to be polite, teachers should be polite to children first, and children should ask teachers how they are. The teacher must answer "Hello, children!" "When meeting strangers or visiting parents, teachers should talk and greet enthusiastically, thus setting a good example for children. Make children receive good moral education in a subtle way. Moral education is a kind of formative education, which enables children to form good habits and benefit for life.
Is it easy to say "thank you"? You have to say it. It's simple. It's easy to teach children to talk. Every time you remind them, they will definitely talk. Let children take the initiative to use "thank you", which can't be done in a day or two. As far as my teaching experience is concerned, from small class to large class is a fully formed process. I have been saying "thank you" since the small class. At that time, when the children felt that they would use it, they would use it under the reminder of adults. In large classes, I put more emphasis on etiquette, reminding children to sit and stand, and telling children not to show their private behaviors such as picking their noses in public places. When I have an argument with my partner, I first ask, "Have you said anything nice?" Thereby strengthening the process of children's polite communication.
Lunch is a good time to practice saying "thank you". It is necessary for me to bring soup to the children. Most children are used to this kind of adult labor and will not be grateful at all. But Zhu Youyu always says "thank you" after I bring him good soup. You're welcome. I boasted at an inappropriate time: "I like making soup for Zhu Youyu best. He always speaks well. " In a simple sentence, let more children want to be my favorite children. Therefore, a gentle "thank you" from the children's mouths is really a landscape of our class.
In addition, we also let children appreciate the teacher's hard work and learn to be grateful to the teacher. We launched the "Teacher's Day" theme activity. The focus of the activity is to feel the teacher's hard work. On the first day of the activity, we assigned tasks to the children, let them observe the teacher's day's work, and then let individual children participate in the activity and feel the teacher's hard work. For example, we let the children who often drop rice grains on the ground clean the table themselves, and let some children who litter try to sweep the floor with a broom. When children are too busy to sweat,
Second, integrate the "gratitude" education activities into daily life.
1, in daily life. In the morning conversation, we consciously arranged some "What do I do for XX?" "What does Mom do for me?" And other topics, so that all the children in the class can share the happiness of serving their loved ones. The purpose of the conversation is to make children understand that it is not easy for parents to raise their children, and parents also need their children's love, so as to promote the continuous transformation of children from "being loved" to "giving love". On festivals such as Women's Day, Mother's Day and Labor Day, we will also carry out some activities accordingly, so that children can do things that make their families happy, such as slapping their parents on the back, sending a cup of hot tea or helping their mothers clean tables and stools. On March 8 this year, on Women's Day, our class carried out the "I washed my mother's feet" thanksgiving tutoring activity: saying "I love you" to my mother, singing a song for my mother and washing her feet. Many children wet their mothers' trouser legs when they washed their feet. Mothers didn't care at all, but laughed happily.
2. Implement in teaching. We collect some traditional stories related to gratitude, such as short and pithy fables full of life philosophy, fairy-tale accidents or gratitude stories of celebrities, such as lambs kneeling on the ground, crows feeding back, visiting Chen Yi's mother, digging wells and drinking water. And explain it or let the children discuss it so that they can understand the truth of gratitude. We also learn to sing some songs of gratitude, or do some small things that move specific people on specific days, or let children express their understanding of gratitude and say things that move him very much.
3. Realize in the game. Games are children's companions, and children can't live without games all day. Teachers can get twice the result with half the effort by giving gratitude education in children's games. For example, in the game "I want to be a mother", children are asked to walk and eat with a small doll in their arms. Children really realize the difficulty of being a mother, so when they come to pick up their children in the afternoon, many children don't let their mothers hug them, but take the initiative to walk home. Experiencing and learning "gratitude" in the game is a good way for children to experience and accept it directly.
4. Create some activity situations, guide children to actively participate in gratitude activities by psychological transposition, and experience the hardships of parents' care and raising children. For example, carrying out the activity of "I'll be the mom and dad of the chicken" requires young children to feed the chickens that have just hatched, so that young children can live a carefree life, which is inseparable from the selfless dedication and care of their parents, so as to learn to care for people around them, be kind to others, respect their labor and care about the world around them.
5. Create interesting situations and carry out thematic Thanksgiving activities. Create interesting situations and a series of activities so that children can experience, feel and infiltrate gratitude education. For example, when creating the theme activity "Autumn", the most obvious feature of autumn is the gradual depression of everything. There is a musical activity in the theme-the song "Little Leaves". The first paragraph of this song reflects Xiao Ye's fear of leaving his mother, while the second paragraph turns quickly. Xiao Ye bravely told her mother that I would come back in the spring and dress up as Mother Tree. For us adults, it is a very natural phenomenon that flowers bloom and fall. However, from the child's point of view, he will think that Xiao is really poor. He can't see his mother all winter, or he will be afraid. When we were doing this activity, we combined a part of the prose "Fallen Leaves" with songs and added a paragraph in the middle of the songs, which naturally adjusted the mood of the songs. Why did Xiao Ye leave her mother? "Small leaves are floating, floating, floating, floating to the mother's feet, hugging, hugging, hugging into a ball, warming the mother tree." After the adaptation, the teacher does not need to make any interpretation, and the children naturally feel the joy brought by love from the songs. Then the parent-child activity after coming home today is "I give my family send warm", so some children wash their grandfather's feet, some massage their grandmother's back, and some help their mother with housework. On Teachers' Day, children and their parents visit their parents' teachers. On Old People's Day, the whole family will be sent to their grandparents, so that children can become caring people who care about themselves, others and society.
(3) Strengthen family ties and make gratitude education everywhere.
Locke's "Educational Comics" pointed out: "Children's behavior is mostly imitation." Adults have a high prestige in children's minds, and their words and deeds have a subtle influence on children. After all, kindergarten education is limited. Children live in their own homes most of the time. If all they see all day is their parents' indifference and selfishness to the elderly, can he still care about others and be grateful to others from an early age? Nowadays, families often attach importance to intellectual investment and neglect the cultivation of children's gratitude consciousness. The formation of children's healthy personality is closely related to the education children receive at home. Parents' care, love, respect and filial piety for the elderly, and democracy and equality among family members have a subtle influence on cultivating children's love. It can be seen that the family should strengthen the connection between home and home and make the family a fertile ground for children's gratitude education. Children will see it in their eyes, remember it in their hearts and print it in their minds. I believe many people are deeply moved by the advertisement "Mom, I'll help you wash your feet" on TV. It can be said that the family is the child's first school, and the parents are also the child's first teacher. Children's habits and behaviors first come from their families, so when they get help, they will sincerely say "thank you" and hug their parents and family from time to time to thank them for their efforts. Although seemingly casual, it is full of you. In the process of getting along with family members, children gradually feel and come into contact with these caring words and loving behaviors. Over time, children will unconsciously express their love and care in such an atmosphere.
In addition, we also use the method of experience to let children put themselves in others' shoes and cultivate the qualities of mutual assistance, sharing, humility and gratitude. Our specific approach: combined with children's birthdays in the park, please ask children to talk about their feelings when accepting the blessings of their peers. Children have experienced the happiness of accepting the blessings of others. Then ask the child: "Do you know mom and dad's birthday?" No child will say, "How would mom and dad feel if they received your blessing on their birthday?" I help children circle their family's birthdays on the calendar, and then encourage them to send their own paintings or a blessing to their families. This is also a good way to thank your family.
Let children learn to be moved, have a grateful heart, feel their own behavior, and let the world love more.
