As we all know, there must be masters in first-class universities. Similarly, a leading kindergarten also needs a group of excellent kindergarten teachers. Now most kindergartens have similar hardware conditions. If you want to be a brand, a good teacher is the core competitiveness. A high degree of education is not necessarily a good teacher, and more experience is not necessarily a good teacher. The prerequisite of a good teacher must be "knowing children". Understanding children is actually empathy, acceptance and respect for children.
The market research of many institutions found that the more advanced kindergartens pay more attention to the cultivation of teachers' empathy ability! The improvement of teachers' empathy will bring about three changes:
1) Teachers have a deeper understanding of parents' needs-communicate with parents more smoothly and effectively-parents realize understanding and respect, and support teachers more-teachers are more devoted and attentive in the teaching process-and the relationship between home and home is more harmonious.
2) Teachers know children better and accept them more-after children experience love and respect, they actively improve themselves-children's empathy ability is improved, and their interaction with teachers and peers is more harmonious-the relationship between teachers and children is more harmonious.
3) Teachers can better manage their emotions, effectively release work pressure-put themselves in others' shoes, better balance family life and work-more actively engage in work, improve their professional happiness-stay away from the problem of teachers' morality-the overall level and reputation of kindergartens have been greatly improved.
However, in the current situation of preschool education, there are actually many problems, such as excessive pressure on teachers, frequent incidents of teachers' morality, teachers' ignorance of children's psychological development characteristics, ignorance of children, inability to interact effectively with children, lack of family education, marginalization and neglect of education in social and emotional fields, etc.
The core advantage of "empathetic companionship" is that it can help preschool teachers to be familiar with the level and characteristics of children's psychological development, master specific methods to improve children's psychological and social emotional abilities, and enhance teachers' empathy ability. Only a teacher with high empathy can truly understand and respect children; After children feel understood and accepted, they are more likely to identify themselves, improve themselves more actively, and better handle the relationship between people and themselves, thus forming a benign interaction with teachers.
In a good relationship between teachers and children, teachers are companions, observers and guides. They can help children to promote the development of cognitive, emotional and psychological health in their relationship with them, thus achieving educational goals. On the contrary, if the teacher-student relationship is tense, indifferent and indifferent to each other, then children will have resistance to teaching activities, the teaching effect will be greatly reduced, and the success of education will be impossible to talk about.
