The concept of children is people's views and attitudes towards children. It involves many problems such as children's characteristics and abilities, status and power, the significance of childhood, the forms and reasons of children's growth and development.
In the long development of human society, people have different understandings of children, including treating children as "little adults", "whiteboards", "flowers and trees" and "private property".
"Future resources" and so on. These children's views are branded with the times, which are irrational and unscientific, as well as more reasonable and scientific factors. We should analyze it realistically, inherit it critically and learn from it, so as to have a correct understanding of children.
Scientific view of children
Children are human. Children are human beings, which is the basic point of building a scientific view of children. As human beings, children have the same personality and dignity as adults, rich spiritual world, differences and certain sociality. Children are human beings, not the "whiteboard" of education, let alone "little adults".
2. Children are developing people. "Children are developing people" means that children have the potential and needs for development, and the process of children's growth is the process of continuous development.
Children have their own unique way of understanding and growth characteristics. Children have great development potential, and have the potential to be shaped and self-shaped. Children need time to mature and develop. Therefore, teachers should provide a life suitable for children's physical and mental development level, so that childlike innocence, childlike interest and childlike innocence can be freely extended.
