What should children do if they love fantasy?
However, American educational authorities believe that fantasy, even fantasy with absurd colors, generally occurs in children's early childhood, that is, between the ages of 2 and 4, which is a natural expression in the process of children's growth and plays a positive and important role in children's personality growth. After children grow up to four or five years old, simple fantasies rarely patronize children's spiritual world and are often replaced by more rational imagination. Therefore, parents should not only regard their children's fantasies as "a scourge", but should rationally encourage their children to spread their fantasy wings. Some American child psychologists believe that fantasy has the following benefits for children's personality growth: it is the foundation of imagination and helps to cultivate imagination, and children who are good at fantasy often have rich imagination when they grow up. As we all know, imagination is very important for cultivating a person's thinking ability in images and artistic and scientific talent. Emotional experience In the fantasy world, children can experience emotions, sadness, regret, jealousy, panic and other emotions that are difficult to experience in real life by playing various roles. So it is possible to have a more real and emotional understanding of people's emotional world. Enhance communication skills In the fantasy world, children can have the opportunity to play various roles and meet and get along with various roles, so that children can learn how to communicate or communicate with various roles in another virtual world outside the real world. Improve the ability to analyze and solve problems. Don't think that children's fantasy world is absurd. In fact, this is a big classroom to help children improve their ability to analyze and solve problems. You know, just because children's fantasy world may be all-encompassing, they may encounter more colorful problems or problems than real life, and their ability to analyze and solve problems can also be improved by solving hypothetical problems or problems. Children aged 2-4 have begun to understand that there are many things in the world that they can never have, and there are many things that they can't do. Faced with these hopeless and helpless negative emotions, the fantasy world is an excellent harbor to help him escape, an outlet for him to vent his emotions, and gives him a new psychological balance. Parents, grandparents, best friends and, of course, children themselves are the people who add affection and friendship to children's fantasy world. It is in the scene after scene of "passionate performance" that family affection and friendship are subconsciously increased. However, experts also reminded that parents still need to give reasonable and scientific guidance to children's fantasies from content to way, including: once children's fantasies are found to be too absurd, they can help analyze their irrationality, thus inducing children to step into a healthier fantasy world; Helping children understand the fantasy world is very different from real life after all; Stop children from lying by fantasy; Teach children not to indulge in fantasy, even fantasy. In addition, parents can provide excellent fairy tales and storybooks for their children to fantasize, and it is best to encourage children to add characters and plots after reading, thus creating a more fascinating fantasy world.
