Kindergarten education is an important part of basic education and the basic stage of school education and lifelong education in China. All kinds of kindergartens in urban and rural areas should proceed from reality and implement quality education according to local conditions to lay a good foundation for children's lifelong development. "In fact, I think preschool education should not focus on the study of book knowledge, but should help children accumulate rich perceptual experience, master the most basic life skills, cultivate good behavior habits, and lay a good foundation for their lifelong development.
There is a saying in San Zi Jing that "people are good at birth, similar in sex and far away from learning", and the "learning" here can be regarded as the initial learning. Educator Tao Xingzhi said: "Most of the important habits and attitudes needed in life can be cultivated successfully before the age of six." It can be seen that early childhood is the key period to cultivate children's good behavior habits. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate good behavior habits for early childhood education. Cultivating education is a process in which teachers exert influence on children's education purposefully and systematically according to the task of children's moral education, the characteristics of children's physical and mental development and the actual situation of children's moral development, and transform the moral norms and codes of conduct in contemporary society into the learning of children's moral quality.
The formation of good behavior habits is a very arduous task. Only let children learn all kinds of good behaviors repeatedly and accumulate all kinds of good habits; Parents should strictly manage education in work and rest, etiquette, hygiene, study and daily life. If they don't put forward the correct, reasonable and necessary code of conduct in time, and don't correct and guide them in time, children will easily develop bad straws, and it will bring greater difficulties to correct these bad habits! Our preschool teachers and parents should grasp the critical period of the development of behavior habits and aim at the characteristics of children's physical and mental development. We should cultivate children's good behavior habits patiently and effectively in study and life. At the same time, parents and teachers should first improve their moral cultivation, form good behavior habits, give children an object to imitate, give children a good habit demonstration, and become an example for children to learn. Because children's self-regulation ability is poor, bad behavior habits are easy to recur. Teachers and parents need to regularly check their good behaviors, point out their bad behaviors and give better corrections. They should combine the inspection of transformation behavior with random inspection at any time, and unremittingly make their good behavior deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
A philosopher said: "sowing behavior, harvesting habits;" Sowing habits, harvesting character; Sow character and reap fate. "Developing good habits is the basis for a person to leave society, and developing good behavior habits will benefit people for life.
Early childhood is the period when children's behavior habits are formed. As we all know, children are in the primary stage of self-behavior. It is very important to cultivate children in this period, and it is also a crucial period for the formation of good behavior habits. Therefore, cultivating children's good behavior habits is one of the important tasks of early childhood education and the focus of early childhood moral education. The way to cultivate children's behavior habits is a kindergarten teacher, and the cultivation of children's good behavior habits is not carried out casually. In the process of education, we should follow the physical and mental development of children, and use professional methods and strategies to cultivate them according to the laws and characteristics.
First of all, there must be reasonable requirements, different periods have different priorities, and only one or two habits can be cultivated at a time. This is similar to our previous division of children. Children in different periods have great differences in physical and mental aspects, so we should set goals according to the physical and mental characteristics of different periods and the children's own conditions.
For example, for children in the early stage of entering the park, our goal is to be emotionally stable when entering the park and participate in simple group activities. Specifically, there are the following aspects: under the reminder of parents or teachers, they will ask "good morning" and "good" and learn to say "goodbye"; When you need help from others, you will say "please"; After accepting help, you will say "thank you"; Not afraid of strangers, they will greet guests warmly and politely under the reminder of parents or teachers; Gradually develop good living habits and actively participate in various collective activities; Abide by some rules of kindergarten, such as going in and out of kindergarten on time, eating, finishing class, participating in games, etc. Observe the daily life of kindergarten. Go around the teacher. Don't run around without him.
Some people think these requirements are too simple, but these seemingly simple requirements are actually more difficult for children in the early stage of entering the park, especially in the first few weeks, because this is the first time they have left their parents and entered a completely strange collective life, and children will have a lot of discomfort from the heart to the behavior. I remember the first day I taught a small class, and 80% of the children in the class had different degrees of bad emotions, some crying and some running around.
These goals depend largely on the cultivation and observance of usual habits. When cultivating habits, we should cultivate them one by one, and then put forward new habits on the basis of the basic formation of a habit. Some experienced educators suggest that the key to cultivating habits is the first month. If you can persist in the first month, you can basically do it. Therefore, parents and teachers should cooperate with each other to strengthen children's behavior habits.
Secondly, we should set an example. Children have strong imitation ability, so parents and teachers should set an example. Mr. Tao Xingzhi has a famous saying: "Learn to be a teacher and be a teacher." The power of role models is infinite, and teachers, as their guides, are the easiest objects for them to imitate and imitate. Therefore, "teachers' attitude and management style should help to form a safe and warm psychological environment;" "Words and deeds should be a good example for children to learn." To this end, we first start from the teacher's own living habits, asking children to do what they should do first, and set an example for children everywhere in daily life. In terms of personal hygiene, put an end to bad habits such as long nails, not washing hands before meals, grabbing things with dirty hands, and not gargling after meals; In terms of environmental sanitation, we should also pay attention to the adverse effects of littering and spitting, bearing in mind that garbage is put into boxes and spit into pots, and the equipment after activities on the playground can be sorted out in time. Through this stage of activities, teachers always influence children with their own examples, which plays a subtle role in cultivating children's good hygiene habits.
Finally, the homes are connected and the homes are consistent, which will effectively form a joint force. In cultivating children's good habits, the role of family education is greater than that of school education, and schools should assume the guiding responsibility of family education. The goal setting and example demonstration I mentioned before are actually inseparable from the cooperation and active guidance of kindergartens and families. This kind of cooperation cannot be ignored. Some parents told us that children don't eat and take off their clothes when they are at home. I was surprised at first, because most children in my class can eat and undress by themselves in kindergarten, but why don't these children do this at home? After many exchanges and observations, I found that at home, parents' requirements are out of line with those of our kindergarten, and parents' requirements for their children are also inconsistent with those of our kindergarten, so children will show two different States. In fact, this is not good for children, and the cultivation of any habit should be persistent. If we can't maintain uniform norms, the education of children will not achieve results.
In short, it is a long-term and arduous task to cultivate good behavior habits, which requires the joint efforts of society, families and kindergartens. We must follow the principle of easy before difficult, focus on the big picture and start with the small things. We must carry out a series of activities in all aspects of children's daily life through multiple channels and in all directions. Teachers should set an example, be strict, grasp it repeatedly, and cooperate closely with their homes. Only in this way can we help children develop good behavior habits and promote their all-round and healthy development.
