Kindergarten will invite children who are about to enter the kindergarten to experience it. One is to let children know each other and increase their understanding; The second is to let the children who are about to enter the park feel the happiness of kindergarten.
My friend told me that there will be a sandy land surrounded by wooden stakes in Japanese kindergartens, next to which are all kinds of toy tableware, small shovels, small buckets and so on. Teachers will take the initiative to ask children to sit on the ground and play with sand. The children are having fun. There are dirty things on their pants, shoes and clothes. My friend's child has been rejected because he thinks the soil has stained his clothes.
It suddenly occurred to me that when I saw sand as a child, I would run up and step on it in high spirits. At this time, parents will stop it immediately because they are afraid that we will get our clothes dirty. Every time I play outside with my children, I accidentally dirty my clothes. When I get home, my parents always complain. Dirty or not depends entirely on how we understand it. We just bring the "dirty" in the adult world to a child, thus ignoring their inner happiness.
2. "Collective" and "Individual"
In Japanese kindergartens, the first thing to teach children is: what is a collective! Collectivity is to level children with various differences, such as uniform school uniforms, uniform bags for books, towels, lunch boxes, cups, shoes and so on. , are uniform and neat standards. Every child must prepare a rag to wipe the floor and glass when entering the park; During recess, the children in the big class will play with their friends in the small class; When eating, you should clear the table and food.
These details and small habits are adhering to a principle: I am a member of the collective, and I want to think for the collective. I remember watching a video of a Japanese child on the Internet. In the video, a little boy in kindergarten challenged 10 to jump continuously. The little boy jumped many times, but he couldn't jump. He even cried, but he persisted.
Then, a group of children in the stands surrounded him, and everyone shouted together: "You can do it! You can do it! " . Encouraged, the little boy finally jumped over, showing how powerful the collective is.
Japanese people don't like to show their uniqueness to show that they are great people. I think this is a kind of "special self" performance, but also a performance that makes others hate. They prefer to say "everyone is the same, everyone is the best".
3. Different "healthy" attitudes
Japanese parents have a principle of "seven points full and seven points warm" in raising their children. They won't let their children eat too much, and they are not afraid that their children will wear too little. In such cold weather in autumn, children will wear a thin coat to play with water outside, and they are not afraid of catching a cold. Therefore, you rarely see "little fatty" in Japan.
When the child is sick, parents will not be so anxious, and they will go to the hospital for injections and medicine. They think the child has a strong self-healing ability. The average life expectancy of Japanese is the highest in the world, which shows that Japan has done a good job in sanitary conditions, medical conditions, ecological environment, children's diet and physical exercise.
Kindergartens in Japan are particularly clean. As long as children enter the kindergarten, they must change their slippers to prevent the dust on their shoes from entering the school. Moreover, psychological counseling teachers will enter students' daily study, because they find that children have psychological problems very early, so every school will have full-time psychological counseling teachers.
4. Real "independent" training
After children go to kindergarten, they will have their own schoolbags, which contain all kinds of stationery. In Japan, besides a big schoolbag, there are all kinds of bags, large and small, which are used to hold different items. Parents come to pick up their children from school and never carry schoolbags, which is also arranged by the kindergarten. In order to exercise their independence, they don't depend on their parents' ability.
Even the prince of the royal family has to carry his own schoolbag in kindergarten. Parents don't give their children any privileges. In the kindergarten canteen, seniors will put on clean clothes instead of teachers to cook for their peers.
If the child is injured in sports, parents should apologize to the teacher instead, feeling that the child has caused trouble to the teacher and let the child grow naturally in the process of crawling. Moreover, girls have to take part in football matches, unlike some of our parents, who think that girls should play chess, calligraphy and painting, and those games of fighting with swords and guns are for boys.
These children, even if they fall black and blue, will enjoy it, and there will be no "princess disease" at all, and they can bear a lot of pressure from the outside world early.
5. There is no meal time for children.
I was taught from an early age that I must eat fast. Once you eat slowly, you will be labeled as "procrastination". Many parents will also find ways to punish their children: whoever finishes eating last will be responsible for washing dishes, and whoever finishes eating first will be rewarded. The same is true of kindergartens. In order not to affect the normal class, children are often given an hour.
However, Japanese kindergartens have never stipulated how long children must finish their meals. Because children have weak gastrointestinal function and are prone to indigestion, the good habit of chewing slowly should be cultivated from an early age. Because children eat slowly and their chewing ability is not as good as that of adults, many parents hate eating because they have no patience.
Although there is no meal time, table manners are very strict, such as saying "I'm going to start" before eating and saying "thank you for your hospitality" after eating. Children will be grateful and cherish the hard-won food in kindergarten.
