In kindergarten, encouragement and praise are the educational means that teachers often use. Teachers hope to strengthen children's correct behavior, improve their interest in learning, stimulate their potential and cultivate their self-confidence through encouragement and praise. However, not all encouragement and praise can help teachers achieve their goals. Sometimes encouragement and praise will reduce children's interest in learning and weaken their inner motivation. Therefore, it is very important for teachers to use encouragement and praise correctly. First, let children realize that love is the best way for teachers to encourage them. The methods of encouraging education are "discovering advantages" and "appreciating advantages". In this way, children's self-confidence and learning enthusiasm, initiative and creativity can be cultivated, thus achieving the purpose of education. However, in order to "discover" and "appreciate" the advantages in time and accurately, especially the advantages of children with poor grades, teachers must be full of care and love for children, care for children with enthusiasm, approach children, love children, communicate with children more, truly enter his heart and know him in the world. As the saying goes, "There are no bad children, only bad education". No matter which child, as long as we observe patiently, we will certainly find their advantages. Even if children occasionally do something wrong or answer the wrong questions, we should give them enough encouragement and help, and never say, "You are so stupid!" " "How come you don't even know this!" In this case, we should pay attention to ways and means, and be good at grasping some of their strengths and highlights to motivate and guide them, so as not to hurt children's self-esteem and thus promote children's self-confidence. Care more, love more, be patient, have confidence in them and encourage them to take their time. At the same time, we should gradually guide them to actively participate in various activities, encourage them to express themselves boldly and establish self-confidence. Loving children can help children love themselves and affirm themselves. Therefore, we should make use of every opportunity to get in touch with children and express our love. For example, when talking to children alone, hold them in your arms. When they report something new to the teacher, touch their heads and listen with a smile. When children encounter difficulties, guide them patiently. Love is the greatest emotion unique to human beings. Love is the most beautiful language for teachers and the best way to encourage them. In the process of implementing education, teachers should be sincere in emotional input, rich in expression and kind in language. If the teacher looks away and looks indifferent when encouraging and praising young children, it is conceivable that no matter how the teacher encourages with words, its educational effect is also negative. Therefore, when encouraging and praising children, teachers should not only use language encouragement, but also appropriately use expression encouragement (such as warm smile, nodding, active greeting), gesture encouragement (such as thumbs-up and applause) and physical contact encouragement (such as touching little face, wiping tears and hugging) to help children comb their hair, tidy their clothes and wipe their noses. In this way, children can really. Only in this way can children be deeply infected and have a positive educational effect.

A child in my class just entered the park and kept crying. Once, all the children in the class were quiet, but he kept crying. I walked over and gently wiped the tears from his face and smiled and said to him, "It's ugly to cry, but it's beautiful not to cry. The teacher has a little hand here. It wants to make friends with children who don't cry. The teacher believes that you are a good boy. Look at that handkerchief smiling at you. " The child listened to my words, looked at me with wide eyes and grinned. I lovingly stroked his face and said to all the children in the class, "Look, this child is really good, and his smile is really beautiful. Let's applaud him and encourage him. " Then I hugged him affectionately and kissed his little face. Afterwards, the parents of the children said to me, "Teacher, my child took the initiative to go to kindergarten today. He said that the teacher liked him and said that he was good and would never cry again. " At that time, I really felt that for children, whether it was a kind smile, a kind nod, a surprise and admiration, or a word full of sympathy, it could make them happy and satisfied, stimulate their good mood and change their behavior to varying degrees. It can be seen that teachers' good emotional attitude and encouraging words and deeds are catalysts for children to accept you, really like you and be willing to accept your education, which promotes the formation of children's good behavior habits. Second, it varies from person to person, so that every child can experience the joy of encouragement.

In practical work, we are not all faced with smart, capable and obedient children, and we need to show extraordinary patience to those naughty and stubborn children. There is a little boy named Yang Lin in our class. He always feels uneasy. Fighting for toys, teasing, disturbing order, like a runaway wild horse. Every day, children criticize him one after another. It is often the teacher who seriously criticizes education, and when his voice falls, he repeats his old tricks. I gradually found that there were more times of criticizing and preaching, but Yang Lin ignored it, and there were broken pots and broken falls. I decided to change the way of education, starting with cultivating his self-esteem and establishing his sense of honor. So I began to observe his words and deeds, every move. Trying to find the bright spot in him. I found that he likes painting, so I fell in love with it. I often sit beside him, admire his paintings and communicate with him, and intentionally show his works to my peers for appreciation: I found that he loves labor, so I praised him in class at the right time. Gradually, he felt the joy of being valued by teachers and peers and became cute. Although his wildness is repeated from time to time, the frequency is greatly reduced. Through this incident, I realized that as long as teachers often show their children's strengths and sincerely help and care, they can make their children feel connected. The teacher's casual blame can easily hurt the child's self-esteem. Correct and positive evaluation can form a positive successful experience for children. Once, when I got up at noon, the children quickly made their beds, put on their shoes and left the dormitory. Yuan Wenzhao was the only one struggling to fold the quilt in bed. I hurried over and said, "Zhao Wen, you are in the big class. You won't fold the quilt, will you?" As soon as I spoke, I found his eyes a little dim, and I immediately realized that what I just said hurt him. So I went to his bed, touched his head and said, "You can fold it, right?" Come on, let me help you, you fold quickly and neatly! "We began to practice. At first, Yuan Wenzhao gave me a look, as if to ask, "Is this right? "Every time I give him an encouraging look, he will soon be able to fold the quilt neatly and quickly. His eyes sparkled with confidence and joy of success: "teacher, I will!" " "I also said excitedly," Yes, you fold better than the teacher! " "The growth of children is inseparable from the encouragement and help of teachers and parents. When they encounter difficulties that are difficult to solve, what is more important is the evaluation, attitude and way adopted by adults. We should understand children with an inclusive heart, so that children can gain self-confidence and experience happiness in the affirmation of adults. While paying attention to practice, we should also pay attention to individual differences and teach students in accordance with their aptitude. For example, children in large classes generally prefer paper-cutting activities, but the children in Huang Kai in my class are different from them. Paper-cutting is a headache for him, because he has congenital cerebral palsy, so he can't coordinate the use of scissors, let alone "cutting along the line", and he rarely succeeds. Slowly, I found that he lost interest in paper-cutting. Every time he has a paper-cutting class, he is dejected and despondent. I don't know if it's because of fear or other reasons. He began to give up the opportunity to practice and just stood by. In order to help him build up confidence and improve his practical ability. Therefore, in the paper-cutting activity of "The Clown with a Sudden Face Change", I gave him individual counseling and encouraged him to cooperate with me and make toys together. At first, I asked him to cut it slowly and patiently. Later, I trimmed it slightly on the basis of his cutting to make the edge smoother. In the process of pasting, I strongly urge him to do it himself and help him if necessary. Soon, a lovely "face-changing clown" was completed. He excitedly took his "clown" and played happily with his friends, as if to tell everyone: Look! I made this. I am sincerely happy to see the bright smile on his face. Unexpectedly, my little move will bring him such great happiness. Third, pay attention to the role of role models and cultivate children's habit of encouraging each other. Children have the characteristics of concrete thinking image and easy imitation. In practical work, I always pay attention to the thoughts that flash in children's daily life, find them in time, and put them forward in time to set a good example for children. At the same time, teachers are sacred in children's hearts. Teachers' words and deeds always affect children, and teachers often become the objects of children's imitation. Teachers' caring and encouraging attitude towards children's education not only makes children full of self-confidence, progress and happiness, but also exerts a subtle influence on children and sets an example for them invisibly.

For example, a child in my class once fell to the ground and cried. Some of the children next to them watched, some stared, some laughed, and some loudly said, "You're crying, you're not shy, you deserve it." The others are preparing to press on the child. I went over and asked him softly, "Does it hurt? The brave child fell to the ground and came to the teacher to rub it for you. " With my encouragement, the child stood up. In order to comfort this child, I said to other children: "Children should unite and help each other together, and don't make fun of others. I believe that you are all good children who help others. " The children listened to my words, some brought chairs to the children, some held his hand and asked him to sit down. A few days later, a child accidentally fell on the stairs. The child walking beside him immediately picked him up and said to him, "The teacher said that the brave child fell down and got up by himself." Mutual encouragement among children has become a bond of good performance. It can also be seen that the teacher's concern and encouragement for a child not only warms and inspires a child, but also plays an exemplary role in influencing and driving other children to imitate their own behaviors, which has played a positive role in the formation of children's good behavior habits.

Also a wrestling child, I casually said, "You just cry and won't get up by yourself. It's useless. " After listening to my words, the child cried even more. The children around pointed to their faces and said, "It's useless, just crying. The teacher doesn't like you, it's a shame. " Unexpectedly, my casual words produced such unexpected consequences. This shows that teachers' rude, indifferent and well-behaved educational attitude not only makes children feel nervous and afraid, but also makes children deeply influenced by teachers' behavior, thus producing negative imitation, which not only affects children's physical and mental health, but also is not conducive to the formation of children's good behavior habits. In real life, we often find that when parents are together, they always compare each other's children and feel guilty that their children are not as good as others' children in some ways. Practice has proved that creating conditions for parents to learn and participate in encouraging education is a catalyst to promote children's self-confidence and success. Kindergartens can help parents master the relevant knowledge of preschool education and psychology by holding expert lectures, individual exchanges, home visits and family interactions, and let parents know some characteristics and laws of modern education, so as to learn to understand, respect, appreciate, understand and master the methods and arts of educating children. When encouraging and praising, we should also pay attention to several issues: First, seeking truth from facts. Do not abuse encouragement and praise, do not be stingy with encouragement and praise, and do not mistake the characteristics of young children for shortcomings; Praise should be moderate, and appropriate encouragement should be given to children's good performance according to different situations. We shouldn't praise anything, no matter how big or small. Because of unrealistic excessive praise, it is easy to cause children's vanity, and the effect is counterproductive. The second is comprehensive treatment. Criticism is not excluded in encouraging and praising education. It is necessary to fully explore children's "bright spots" and point out their "fly in the ointment" in a timely and appropriate manner according to the actual situation, so as to urge children to learn to distinguish right from wrong and distinguish between honor and disgrace. Only the emphasis of encouragement, praise and criticism should not be reversed. Encourage and praise should pay attention to methods, and criticism should consider art. This can encourage children in time and let them know their own behavior deficiencies, which is more conducive to the cultivation of good behavior habits. Encouraging praise is a widely used and effective educational method, which can play a good role in cultivating children's self-confidence. But encouragement is different from praise. Encouragement can fundamentally cultivate children's self-confidence. Encouragement is often a kind of support for children's behavior, which can be through words, expressions or some auxiliary materials. For example, when a child encounters difficulties in a puzzle and is ready to give up, we should say "try again". But he still said, "You are great, you can do it." In fact, sometimes praise for children will hurt them. For example, when children know that they are not doing well, but hear a series of "you are great", they will be skeptical about praise. So learn to distinguish between encouragement and praise. 5. Pay attention to the effect evaluation and avoid the misunderstanding of praise. When encouraging praise, we must pay attention to the effect of encouragement and praise, and comprehensively evaluate the role of encouragement and praise from the principles of individuality, integrity and development, so as to avoid the negative impact of encouragement and praise on other children and weaken their internal motivation. For example, although the positive effect of setting up a class red flower column in kindergarten is obvious, its hidden negative disadvantages also exist, because its level of encouragement and praise is much higher than other praise methods such as oral or in-kind praise, in fact, praise can not be guaranteed, and the evaluation criteria can not face children with different personalities and levels in the class, causing children to think that more small red flowers are good children and less small red flowers are bad children. However, if parents set up a red flower column at home, or put a small red flower in a place that children like at any time when they are good, they can avoid negative effects. In a sense, education is emotional communication. As long as teachers always use a love to find the bright spots in children, they are good at catching any fleeting educational opportunities and giving encouragement without losing the opportunity. It will play a positive role in actively receiving education and cultivating children's good behavior habits.
