How to carry out gratitude education for primary school students
Zhao Beichen District Experimental Primary School In today's society, children have become "little emperors" and "little princesses" in the hearts of parents, grandparents and grandparents. And the children themselves have developed a kind of self-centered and selfish psychological tendency. Children gradually move away from being touched, forget to be grateful, and take the parenting and teaching for granted. In view of this lack of morality and emotional loss, our school has comprehensively carried out thanksgiving theme education activities, using effective strategies such as activity guidance, detail infiltration and cultural edification to let children find their own grateful hearts and understand the true meaning of life and growth. Every time I start school, I always see some children eating with relish with cold drinks in their hands. Their parents and even grandparents are sweating behind them, stumbling between the academic affairs office, the principal's office and the classroom with their schoolbags on their backs. Seeing this scene, I always feel sad. During a home visit, a parent asked me to have a good talk with his children: their children don't want to talk to their parents after coming home every day, and their tone of voice is quite impatient occasionally, even if they ask their parents for money, they have to look at it! Another parent told me that his darling made him tie his shoelaces. Another parent said that his children never take the initiative to wipe the floor with a rag. There is an old saying in China since ancient times that "sheep kneel on their chests and crows feed back". However, observing the current campus, there are not a few students who squander their parents' hard-earned money on eating, drinking and having fun, and there are also many "neets" who don't want to work after graduation. The sense of gratitude is seriously lacking. Students seem ungrateful for the hard education of teachers and the help among classmates, and even many people repay their parents and society for Marek's knighthood! . How to help students appreciate the love of their parents, others, society and country, and how to teach students to repay their parents' upbringing, the cultivation of their motherland and the teaching of their teachers. This is a problem that schools, families and society should discuss and solve together. I've been paying attention to this for a long time and thinking about it for a long time. I think we should start from the following aspects: First, we should attach importance to the enlightenment education of gratitude and open children's gratitude. "The child's mind is a strange land. You sow the seeds of thought, and you will get the harvest of practice; Sow the seeds of practice and you will reap the habits; Sow the seeds of habit, and you will get moral harvest; Sow the seeds of morality and you will get the harvest of fate. " Teachers should take every opportunity to help students gradually form a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. Let students feel the affection, friendship and kindness in the world with gratitude, and give back to others when they accept their care, support and help, instead of just asking for and enjoying them. Educate students to remember the goodwill of others, enhance their sense of responsibility, have a grateful heart, know how to pity, know how to respect, know how to take responsibility, be kind to others, and be kind to every grass and tree in nature. At present, the phenomenon of students' lack of gratitude is very common, and the fundamental reason is that gratitude education has been marginalized in its education system. Family unprincipled connivance, school education with culture as the leading direction often pays insufficient attention to moral education. In this context, students fall into the "desert" of emotional education. In the emotional world of many students, gratitude has become a blind spot. Children only know how to ask their parents for it, regardless of the return, and their sense of gratitude is seriously lacking. The lack of gratitude consciousness is inevitable. The enlightenment education of gratitude means that parents should attach importance to gratitude education when they are young, teachers should emphasize gratitude education when they enter school, and junior high school teachers should carry out gratitude education again. When his world outlook is not fully formed, seize the opportunity to educate. Cut into students' individual psychological world, stimulate individual spiritual resonance, urge students to have a deeper emotional experience of certain events, strengthen gratitude psychology, enhance sense of responsibility, cultivate healthy and noble moral sentiments, and make moral feelings grow and sublimate. Second, widely launch, actively publicize and establish students' sense of gratitude. In the implementation of gratitude education activities, our class starts with ideological propaganda to educate students to be grateful to the motherland, society, parents, teachers and others. In order to do a good job in education, they must attach great importance to gratitude activities. Therefore, parents need to cooperate well, educate students together and help students establish a sense of gratitude. Our class also uses the classroom, especially the main channel of ideological and political teaching, to educate students to learn to be grateful and publicize it through speeches, theme class meetings and stories. , so that students' sense of gratitude is gradually enhanced. Third, seriously organize, pay close attention to implementation, and strengthen gratitude education in activities. In my opinion, gratitude education focuses on activities and establishes students' gratitude consciousness in activities. Since the beginning of the activity, our class has carefully organized various forms of activities, which has pushed gratitude education to a deeper level. (1) Thanks to the motherland and determined to serve the motherland. Our class adheres to the weekly class meeting system, carefully prepares for each class meeting, and lets students establish the national concept through speeches. Our class organizes students to carry out various activities-reading contest, composition contest praising the motherland, cultural performance, interesting language, etc. Through these activities, students can understand our splendid culture, understand that today's beautiful life is hard-won, and realize that they should cherish the present, study hard, serve the motherland in the future and make their own contributions to the development and growth of the motherland. Let students have a strong sense of national pride, and let students know that although the country is strong, it is still a developing country, and we still need to work hard to build a well-off society. (2) Be grateful to the society and make due contributions to the society. Society is a society of people, and people are in society. In today's society, more attention is paid to the development of schools and the growth of students. We start with the publicity of well-known things and educate students to be grateful to the society. Thanks to the fact that society should be reflected in action, our office used the weekend to conduct social surveys and wrote a series of social survey reports. Although the writing is immature and the opinions are not comprehensive enough, the children have seen the behavior of respecting the old and loving the young, felt the deep warmth in society and realized the difficulty of obtaining a fresh environment. Activities enable students to understand society, know society, and know that since they are members of society, they should make due contributions to society. They also educate students not to be discouraged and complain about others in difficulties, and enhance their excellent qualities of self-reliance and self-improvement. (3) Thank your parents and help them do housework within their power. Our class initiated a letter to parents. Through this form, children can have a heart-to-heart talk with their parents, exchange ideas, make the parent-child relationship more harmonious, and avoid children's rebellious psychology. Students are also required to help their parents do housework once a week, such as cooking, sweeping the floor and washing clothes. The activities set up students' sense of family responsibility, and let students know their parents' hard work in the activities, so as to thank and respect their parents. (4) Thank the teacher and be a good boy who studies hard and abides by the law. Our students are the most malleable. In view of this feature, I take cultivating students' behavior habits as the theme of our class. In this regard, we launched a class meeting with the theme of "If I were a teacher" to let students know how to respect teachers in activities. When we educate students, we should thank the teachers for their efforts and don't need any gifts. As long as you can study hard, strive for good grades, observe discipline and be polite, it is the best reward for teachers. (5) Thank others, help each other, and make progress together. Our class is divided into several groups to let everyone study, live and standardize. This activity is informal in our class. We will select advanced groups every week to commend students who have performed well and made remarkable progress in the activities. We evaluate students' learning and performance, mainly by looking at progress, so that every student can see hope. Educating students to thank their classmates and classmates for their help in the activities has deepened their friendship, and the atmosphere of unity and friendship among classmates has become stronger and stronger. 4. Instruct students in time, and the practical environment for participating in gratitude education is silent education, which plays a subtle role in students. Therefore, it is necessary to create an educational atmosphere with the theme of "gratitude" so that students' hearts can be baptized in an atmosphere full of "gratitude". According to the specific situation of each class, set the following activities: 1, tell the story of "gratitude". A story meeting with the theme of "gratitude" is held in the class, which makes students realize that "filial piety and love" are the foundation of establishing a person and the source of all virtues. 2. Create a grateful tabloid. With novel typography and distinctive content, we regularly publish "grateful" cases, so that students can witness the image of "filial piety" and be infected. 3. Greet frequently to make parents comfortable. The ancients said that "words must be done" and encouraged students to always say considerate or grateful words to their parents. For example, "Mom and Dad, you have worked hard!" 4. Infiltrate gratitude education in teaching. In the teaching of Zhi Shu, in order to make students feel and appreciate the love and cultivation of teachers and relatives, in the practice of teaching expansion, discussions on famous and beautiful sentences that care about others are arranged. Inspired students' love for their loved ones. Create a strong atmosphere in the process of education and teaching, make "Thanksgiving" education colorful, and let students voluntarily participate in "Thanksgiving" activities, experience it personally, feel life and understand the truth. V. Experience the true feelings of gratitude 1. Combine festivals and carry out activities. For example, take advantage of international "March 8th", "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" to educate students about gratitude. 2. Learn to be a parent and experience hardship. Such as washing clothes and vegetables in winter. 3 "Teacher's Day". Make a greeting card for the teacher and send a bunch of wild flowers. The teacher will be very happy. Sixth, pay attention to the details of gratitude in real life and let children practice in life. In order to make the gratitude action visible and tangible, we adopt the strategy of seeing the big from the small, and put forward three gratitude homework, that is, let the children express their gratitude to their parents in one sentence; A trick to eliminate fatigue for parents; Be the master one day and share the housework for your parents. We ask children to do it at least once a week and be able to stick to it. At the same time, we also compiled a book "Thanksgiving Quotations". Children have a book to record the completion of their gratitude homework and express their feelings in gratitude activities. What benefits children most is that they begin to pay attention to their parents' preferences, understand their wishes and remember their birthdays through communication with their parents. Children will inadvertently rub their shoulders, beat their backs, wash their feet and help their parents cook and wash clothes. Let students understand the hardships and difficulties of their parents, and cultivate students to appreciate their parents' parenting. Let students perceive the greatness and hardship of their parents and the good intentions of their teachers from real life. Therefore, "gratitude" will be internalized into deep feelings, and I feel that I should repay you from the bottom of my heart. As the ancients said, the grace of dripping water will surely bring spring. Gratitude is a fine tradition of our nation, and it is also the minimum character of an upright person. "Sheep Kneeling on Breast" and "Crow Feeding Back" are all fragrant because of a grateful heart, which makes Wan Li fragrant. Besides, we also need to be grateful, because if you give someone a rose, you will leave a lingering fragrance in your hand. A person who is always grateful is broad-minded and willing to help others. When the noise in our ears is no longer loud, when our eyes are no longer confused and angry, let us calm down, live with a grateful heart, discover, explore and taste the truest and purest life with a grateful heart!
