"The child is beautiful, the position of the child is beautiful, and the education is beautiful." -Excerpt from Children's Position
When I first saw the name of the book "Children's Position", my eyes were deeply locked. As an educator, children are always around us. Son, it's too familiar, but what's the position of the child? I hesitated, and suddenly realized that the seemingly familiar children around me seemed strange again. I remember Rousseau, a French revolutionary and thinker, said: "I think the most useful and incomplete knowledge of mankind is the knowledge about' people'. And I think that among the most incomplete knowledge of "people", the most prominent knowledge is about "children". " At the moment, the appearance of this book, like a timely rain to solve the educational confusion, makes me eager to read it.
From the preface of the book "Children's Position", we know that this book is a philosophical treatise that reveals the law of education written by Mr. Cheng Shangrong, a famous domestic education expert, after his retirement. He expounded the author's position on children from the perspectives of theory and practice, children themselves and teachers, that is, children's research is the motif of educational research and the basic position of education. The book also points out how to realize strategic guidance, and points out the confirmation, adjustment and development trend of children's research perspective that educators must pay attention to. From this book, we can find some connections between research and daily teaching, which makes people feel like spring breeze and injects new positive elements into their career development. After reading it, I will look back at my daily educational behavior and talk about my superficial feelings to share with you!
? Accusation and awakening
Position is the position and attitude people take when they know and deal with problems. What is the position of the children? Children's standpoint means that the position and attitude of educators should be based on children, starting from children, that is, taking children as the main body and starting from children, and taking children's development as the fundamental and only measure and principle to judge education. As the book says, "the great wisdom of education lies in knowing and discovering children." It is the child's position to know children and find them.
? Luxembourg, a French revolutionary and thinker, once criticized those revolutionaries who often knocked down children for a great cause. She thinks it's a crime. As us? We often knock down children again and again on the way to education because we don't know who and where the children are. In the harsh educational reality, children's status has been seriously impacted-adults (including teachers) regard their own needs as children's needs with their usual thinking, replace children's interests with their own interests, and finally realize their predetermined educational aspirations and goals at the expense of children. The absence of children's position and the offside of adults' position on children eventually lead to the alienation of children's position into adults' position, and finally only adults' position remains. In The Secrets of Childhood, Montessori pointed out: "Adults should be blamed! Parents should stand in the dock! Because I don't understand children, I am arrogant, thinking that children are a blank sheet of paper, waiting for them to fill in excellent people, and thinking that I am the guide for children. They can't feel inferior. Like giants, always ready to pounce on them, killing children's lively nature. They also look at children with prejudice and arrogance. They can't control their anger. What other adults can't do will be done to children who have no resistance. They can't wash the dust from their eyes, but they have to wipe the sand from their children's eyes. Shouldn't such an ignorant, complacent and despicable adult be prosecuted? ! "Whether these behaviors are intentional or unintentional, we will also" commit crimes "-this is a brave self-discovery and self-criticism from the standpoint of children. Let education return to its proper position-truly stand in the position of children. This is the original meaning of education.
Kid.-Freedom? Exploring? possibility
? Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a people's educator, wrote a poem "Children are not ditties": everyone says that children are small, but people are not careful; If you look down on children, you are even younger than children. This fully embodies Mr. Tao Xingzhi's educational thought of trusting, respecting and understanding children. Teacher Cheng proposed that the first major of teachers is children's studies, and he summed up the core of the theme of children's studies with the words 12: knowing children, discovering children and leading children. Mr. Cheng said: The great wisdom of education is to know children, find them and promote their development. To return to children, we must first return to the original meaning of children. The original meaning of "child" is freedom. Secondly, let's go back to the greatest place for children. The greatest thing about children is creativity. The third is to return to the child's complete life. Fourth, return to the way children live and play. Freedom and exploration are children's nature and original meaning, so education should conform to this nature, stick to this original meaning, guide them to further explore and discover, and avoid blind forced indoctrination, simple "telling" and mechanical repeated training. Children are made up of one hundred kinds. Children have 100 languages, 100 hands, 100 ideas, 100 ways of thinking, playing and speaking. A hundred ways, always a hundred ways to listen, surprise and love. A hundred joys of singing and understanding. One hundred worlds, waiting for children to explore; One hundred worlds, waiting for children to create; A hundred worlds, waiting for children to dream. ...
? Be an adult child? Let the children be themselves.
? Children and adults are two different worlds. The children's position sends a serious question to the teachers: "Teacher, who should you be?" ? What should you do? Li Jilin, a famous teacher, gave the most concise and vivid answer: "I, a grown-up child. "
? At the invitation of Chen Heqin, Mr. Tao Xingzhi once wrote a social song for the Children's Education Society. The name of this social song is the teacher's song. This song also clearly answers the educational position that teachers should have.

? Come on! Come on! Come on! Come to the children's team and get to know your children. You can't teach children unless you know your children.
? Come on! Come on! Come on! Come to the children's team and liberate your children. You can't teach children unless you liberate your children.
? Come on! Come on! Come on! Come to the children's team and trust your children. You can't teach children unless you trust them.
? Come on! Come on! Come on! Come to the children's team and become a child. You can't teach a child unless you become a child. "
An adult cannot be a child, but he is an adult child. "Grown-up children" reproduce the essence of children to a higher degree, with the purpose of better understanding, discovering, leading and developing children. "Growing children" reminds us to grow up with our children. It can be said that "grown-up children" is the most vivid and accurate positioning of teachers' roles and functions in children's position. Suhomlinski once said: "Children are the draft of human epic." Teachers should help children revise drafts and write big articles. Therefore, teachers should have a broader vision and higher value coordinates. "Grown-up children" are building their own positions with great love and wisdom, looking forward to their own future, and continuing to write the purest and most beautiful story between children and "grown-up children".
