1. Respect children's personality and protect their self-esteem.
Shouting loudly will make children feel humiliated, and they will only think about how to get rid of the ugliness at that time without thinking about the right or wrong of things, which is not conducive to continuing to educate children.
2. Eliminate children's antagonistic emotions and rebellious psychology.
Teachers respect children, and children will respect teachers, shortening the psychological distance between teachers and children, and making teachers' words and even criticisms easier to hear.
3. It helps to create a good emotional communication atmosphere.
Talking and communicating in a soft voice enhances the intimate relationship between them, makes children feel the teacher's calmness and majesty, and is infected by the teacher's emotions, thus making it easier to accept the teacher's criticism and education emotionally.
4. Speaking softly, especially treating children's faults softly, can better reflect the teacher's mind, temperament, self-restraint and personality, and has a subtle education and influence on children.
So, how to carry out light education? When should we educate with a soft voice to make our activities more effective?
1. Before the children's quiet group activities are carried out, teachers can take light education.
During the nap, the children were rushed into the nap room and began to take off their shoes, clothes and quilts. These little things are naturally difficult for children, so children begin to ask for help: "Teacher, I can't …" and "Teacher, help me …". The noise is getting louder and louder, and some naughty children will "take advantage of the fire"-rolling the floor, crawling ants and so on. At this time, teachers are often tired of coping, ignoring the need to create a quiet nap atmosphere for children at this time. At this point, teachers should not loudly ask children not to speak loudly, trying to drown their own voices above the children's voices, which will only have the opposite effect. The best way is for teachers to set an example, use soft language and soft gestures, use gestures and language to gently remind children to whisper, please wait quietly if you need help, and so on. In this way, you will be free from the irritable environment, and you will find that children are so cute when they take a nap!
For another example, before group activities, teachers often need to wait for children to calm down before organizing activities, but looking at teachers' behavior, we can find that many teachers still choose to use "one, two, three, calm down" and "see who sits best!" A one-size-fits-all approach like this. In fact, at this time, you can try light education, such as light gestures and touching the heads of children who have not calmed down. These methods will definitely make it easier for children to accept.
2. Individual communication should be educated in a soft voice.
Just like the story mentioned earlier, we should respect children and protect their self-esteem when we evaluate or criticize them. Especially when the child does something wrong, the teacher must quietly discuss with the child what is wrong and why, give the child warmth and relax the child's mood. If the voice is too loud and the mood is bad, the child will feel scared and nervous, but he will not really realize his mistake.
3. Use various methods to help children establish the habit of speaking softly.
For children with intuitive and vivid thinking, it is the key to help them establish the habit of speaking softly by letting them know the benefits of speaking softly and raising their awareness of speaking softly. Therefore, according to children's age characteristics, we can use intuitive methods such as storytelling and situational performance to let children know the benefits of speaking softly, and adopt methods such as example demonstration, spiritual encouragement and fun competition to help children develop the habit of speaking softly. Moreover, teachers must bear in mind that speaking softly is a habit, so it is not an overnight achievement and must be adhered to for a long time.
Adults also call for "whispering".
"Don't speak loudly in public", "Don't speak loudly in the dining hall" and "Talk softly, briefly and kindly", all of which are the requirements of social civilization and etiquette for adults. As a kindergarten teacher in the new century, we should set an example for children, speak softly, make phone calls and so on. , fully display the etiquette style of kindergarten teachers, and at the same time contribute to the gradual formation of a good civilized etiquette atmosphere in China.
In short, light education can not only protect our voices, but also help children grow up. It is a good educational method. I hope more preschool teachers can understand it, pay attention to it and use it.
