Although Montessori education was introduced into China for a short time, it developed rapidly.
At present, Montessori kindergartens have spread all over the country and are gradually accepted by parents. However, we can't ignore that most parents still lack a correct understanding of Montessori education.
Excellent language skills In today's era of TV and audio-visual popularization, coupled with the decrease of children in the family, children's language skills generally decline. However, children who receive Montessori education can clearly express what they want to say. They always take their time to find out the words they want to use and express them calmly and without cowardice. I think on the one hand, Montessori education model creates an environment for children to fully express themselves, on the other hand, it also benefits from Montessori's concise and accurate expression.
Open and active exploration, showing independent learning attitude. Montessori education has designed an opportunity to "correct mistakes" so that children can start over when they find mistakes. Every Montessori teaching aid and learning tool has the advantage of Montessori education-the characteristic of "self-correction". The advantage of Montessori education is that children can see with their eyes or touch with their hands to judge whether it is correct or not. Only those who have experienced "self-correction" will be honest and learn independently. Seeing Montessori's children's honest performance in the face of facts, even parents will feel surpassed.
Undeniably, after Montessori education, many parents lamented that their children's autonomy has indeed increased a lot, and he believed that it is commendable that children can make such changes, and children can think and solve problems independently and no longer rely on their parents to solve problems. This is of great benefit to children's future life, study and even future work, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Montessori discovered and put forward the principle of sensitive period in his long-term contact with children. In Montessori class, the teacher's role is to guide, only to appear when the child needs it, and to assist in time.
I once observed a 2-year-old 1 month child in the IC classroom. For three days in a row, she chose the teaching AIDS of "Swatch I" and "Swatch II" and painstakingly "worked" (teaching AIDS are working materials, and Montessori classes collectively refer to teaching AIDS as "work"). Showing great interest in various colors in the environment. 2-4 years old is the time when children are sensitive to color. We added "Swatch III" works and art areas for her, communicated with parents, set up graffiti areas at home for her children, and added picture books about colors, so as to respect children's development, fully satisfy their curiosity, and retain their initial talents. Until the child is 6 years old, her aesthetics and appreciation of color have become more prominent.
