Many parents will encounter the problem of how old their children are to eat, and kindergartens often undertake the task of correcting their children's eating habits. But is it necessary to punish children who can't finish eating and eat slowly? There are various methods of education, but no matter what method, it must be based on the bottom line of safety. If the child is punished for not eating enough food, which leads to the child falling from the building, then this way of discipline is definitely extremely wrong.

I. News background of the event

According to the article, on August 17, a person in charge of the Mazhang District Education Bureau in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province believed that it was clear that this was a serious accident and the kindergarten was responsible, but the specific responsibility was not clear. So how did this happen? According to parents, the child is only 4 years old. Because of his small appetite, he can't finish every meal. One day in early July, the child failed to finish his meal, and then was left alone by the teacher in a classroom on the second floor to reflect. Other children are playing outside. Because no one called the child, the child ran to the next room. Finally, because no one found the child, he was locked into this room directly. So the child climbed over the window and guardrail and fell on the electric car on the first floor, causing multiple injuries to his face, loss of front teeth and loose teeth. Although there is no danger to life, the harm to children is objective. According to parents, other children downstairs went home with their parents, but our children were locked in the room alone. The teacher also asked us to pick up the children 30 minutes late. During this time, how afraid the child is to climb out of the window. ?

After the incident, the parents demanded compensation and held the kindergarten leaders and teachers accountable. However, only the chief teacher was dismissed, and the parents said they would not accept it. Parents believe that this is a lack of supervision, there is confusion in kindergarten management, and there is no agreement on compensation. At present, further mediation is still in progress.

Second, what the incident has brought us.

It is normal for children in kindergarten not to eat or finish their meals. Although kindergartens are keen to correct children's habits, they must use the right methods. Some children eat slowly because of bad habits, and it is useful to control them through certain methods, but some children are born with small appetite or slow eating, and we can't educate and correct them through solitary confinement or reflection. On the one hand, it will have an impact on children's psychology, and it will make children feel that they are far from others, which will lead to children's psychological inferiority and lead to introversion over time. On the other hand, leaving children alone is a potential safety hazard. If children are out of sight of adults, anything can happen.

Therefore, I really don't advocate using this so-called reflective education method to correct children's eating habits. I think the encouragement method will be more useful. What do parents think? Welcome to leave a message below to discuss!
