Keywords: children's personality characteristics
Introduction and text: Children's personality is still in the primary stage. Observing children's various activities, we can see various manifestations of children's personality. Generally speaking, preschool children are active, curious, curious, imitative and impulsive.
First, initiative is the way of children's cognitive expression.
Preschool children's cognition of the environment, communication with the people around them, and expression of their own needs and wishes are often completed in the process of touching the east and the west, touching and tearing. During this period, children showed impatience, disobeyed rules and crossed the line, which is the embodiment of their active personality. Once, a parent asked me if my child was ADHD. In fact, parents don't need to worry. Active is the most prominent feature of children's personality, and it is also a unique way for children to express their cognition.
Being active is a potential good motivation for children to explore science. An active personality helps children form a good quality of being diligent and eager to learn. Children's liveliness and activeness should be regarded as a good phenomenon and tendency, and should be guided correctly, rather than stopped tirelessly, otherwise it will hinder the normal development of children's intelligence and psychology. For example, Edison, an American electrician and inventor, was expelled from school by his teacher after only reading for three months. When he saw the blacksmith burning iron in the raging fire by the roadside and beating it into various tools, he wanted to find out what fire was. Why does the fire burn? Why is the fire so hot? Why does iron turn red after burning in a fire? Why is iron red soft? He started his first experiment in his wooden shed and burned it. On another occasion, Edison saw the principle of balloon lift-off and asked his friend to drink a pack of "boiling powder". He cooks when he wants to drink, and takes it off when he cooks. As a result, his friend had a terrible stomachache and was sent to the hospital for rescue before he was out of danger. At this time, his mother didn't blame the child blindly, but cleaned up the mess with the child, educated the child to learn the lesson and guided patiently from the front. If his parents regard Edison's behavior as ADHD or a deliberate mistake to accuse or even reprimand him, it will virtually inhibit Edison's desire to explore, then there will be no great electrician and inventor Edison!
Second, curiosity is the expression of children's original intention of seeking knowledge.
Curiosity is a child's nature, and children's curiosity is very strong, which is mainly manifested in two aspects: exploring behavior and asking questions. When children face blind spots in the environment, that is, they want to know what they don't know or don't understand, they have a directional behavior, trying to solve the "mystery" in the cognitive process through fiddling and operation. Children will go all out and get carried away. Sometimes the consequences of their actions may be "destructive". If some children are not curious and rarely ask questions, it will attract the attention of adults: is his brain developing normally? Is he withdrawn? Is his family environment too monotonous? Wait a minute.
Curiosity is the best seed of budding science. Teachers and parents should pay special attention to children's words and deeds, use various opportunities to stimulate children's curiosity, guide children to ask questions, and promote their normal and healthy physical and mental development. Just like Zhang Heng, an outstanding scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he loved to think about problems from an early age and always wanted to get to the bottom of things around him. Just out of curiosity, he invented the world-famous seismograph. Newton, a great scientist, was called a "bookworm" when he was a child. If it weren't for grandma, mom and uncle's appreciation, he might always be a silly child. It is this kind of "bookworm" who is curious about why apples fall from trees instead of flying into the sky, so he was inspired and discovered the law of gravity. Once, I was having fun with my children. Suddenly, a little girl asked me, "Teacher, we can laugh. Why don't animals laugh? " This question really stumped me. If the little girl keeps thinking about this problem, she may have a good interest in animal research in the future, or have a higher level breakthrough.
Third, being good at imitation is a child's innate nature.
The performance of children's imitation is the imitation of others' personality, movements and language. Generally, good things are imitated slowly, and bad habits are imitated quickly and realistically. Therefore, adults must pay attention to their words and deeds, especially teachers and parents. Children like to do an action or a thing like others. Their imitation performance is closely related to the development of their cognitive ability. Children like to imitate the people closest to them, and often hear them imitate the conversations and actions of teachers or parents with others, especially the language of teachers in class. Children are most interested, and imitators are methodical and lifelike. It is precisely because children are easy to imitate that "Meng Mu moved three times". In order to protect his son from the bad environment, Meng Mu moved three times. In the end, Mencius succeeded and became a famous thinker and educator in ancient China. Later, people used "Meng Mu's Three Movements" to explain that if people want to learn good habits, they should be close to good people, things and things!
Imitation is based on interest. I once did such a test in a conversation: "Children, have you seen the Journey to the West?" Everyone said in unison, "I have seen it." "Who is your favorite person in Journey to the West?" At this time, everyone answered "the Monkey King" with one voice. I then asked, "Why do you like the Monkey King?" At this time, the answer is different. "Who can imitate the Monkey King's most classic movements?" Everyone imitated the Monkey King's movements perfectly. "Well, please imitate the typical movements of Tang Priest again." Some children immediately put their hands together, closed their eyes and kept talking, but most of them turned a deaf ear to my words, because they were not interested in Tang Priest and were still immersed in imitating the Monkey King.
