In the real society, many young parents don't have enough time and energy to devote themselves to the upbringing and education of their children, so intergenerational education is an objective educational form in family education in China. The parenting role of parents is replaced by the next generation. Children are in a critical period of development in all aspects of life. What kind of education and influence they receive during this period will directly affect their children's admission to the park and even their lifelong development. However, in China, more children spend their infancy, infancy, childhood and even early adulthood with their grandparents, who have become an important role in early childhood education.
First, the status quo of intergenerational education
There are generally two kinds of family education, parenting education, people directly raised by parents, and grandparents' education for grandchildren. With the change of social family education structure, 42 1? The traditional family structure has become a common phenomenon, and the investment in family education is also increasing. With the acceleration of urbanization, the transformation of economic system and the rapid development of reforms in all walks of life, young people shoulder the dual pressure of marriage and entrepreneurship. They should not only redouble their efforts at work, strive for career success, but also take into account the happiness of their families. The time spent on children is getting less and less, and children can only be left to their parents to take care of. Under the national conditions like China, intergenerational education has a growing trend.
According to the research of Wang Jisheng, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, intergenerational education can be divided into three types: one is excessive concern. By doing something within their power, children can gain a lot of experience and enhance their abilities. Children could have exercised their abilities in a normal environment, but they were replaced by grandparents and lost the opportunity to exercise.
The second is over-regulation. We should urge our children to do everything well, check their behavior at all times, and feel uneasy about their actions. When a child has an initial desire to work, grandparents will stop the child's behavior because they think the child is in the way or worry about his participation. This virtually hit the children's labor enthusiasm and stifled their labor consciousness. Over time, children are reluctant to try.
The third is democracy, warmth and understanding. Some parents will use this method, but the number is very small. But this way can really make children's abilities develop best.
Second, the advantages and disadvantages of intergenerational education
1. Disadvantages
(1) Overindulgence and protection. Spoiling is the main problem for grandparents to bring up their children. Due to the overindulgence of grandchildren, the elderly tend to be obedient and take good care of their children, so the children brought up by the elderly generally have poor self-care ability.
(2) Some ancestors' ideas are relatively backward. According to the latest research in brain physiology and psychology, American psychologist Thomas A. Harrison and others pointed out that the external experience provided by parents or their equivalents in childhood will be permanently recorded in everyone's mind? Personality? On the tape. Grandparents may not realize the negative impact of some of their own practices on children in the habit-forming stage. Many grandparents, especially those in rural areas, are relatively backward in ideas and concepts, lack correct educational concepts and are not good at guiding children in a scientific and creative way.
2. Favorable factors
(1) Grandparents are superior to their parents in emotion and time. Because of the blood relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, the elderly instinctively have a loving heart for their children and can pay more attention to their daily behavior. Many grandparents have enough time and energy and are willing to spend time with their children. They not only take care of their children's lives, provide learning conditions and give appropriate guidance, but also listen to their stories patiently. Generally speaking, it is easy to establish a harmonious relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
(2) It is beneficial for children to learn traditional virtues. The Chinese nation has many excellent cultural traditions and artistic treasures. Successful intergenerational education will make children understand this and make it effectively passed down and developed. With the rapid development of economy and the increasingly flashy social atmosphere, adults will inevitably be infected with bad habits such as quick success and instant benefit, extravagance and waste. The traditional virtues of children living with grandparents, such as diligence, thrift, honesty and filial piety, are not overemphasized in modern society, and will be subtly passed on to grandchildren, so that children can develop good moral behavior norms from childhood and benefit for life.
Third, the proposal to optimize intergenerational education
Li Hong, a family education expert, once said that intergenerational education, as an objective way of family education, has a great influence on children's personality development. To change the current unsatisfactory situation of intergenerational education, young parents and grandparents should jointly seek a better way to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, overcome the disadvantages in intergenerational education and give full play to their advantages.
1. Correct understanding of early education
Tao Xingzhi's thoughts on children's education not only emphasize the shaping of children's basic quality, but also emphasize the cultivation of personality and specialty, which fully embodies that complete and all-round development and personality cultivation are the core of children's education. The importance of early education lies in providing various foundations and possibilities for the all-round development of individuals in the future, and it cannot be a stumbling block to children's future education. For children, the teaching of cultural knowledge is only a part of early family education, and the cultivation of behavior habits and moral quality is more important for the development of children of this age.
2. Improve the parenting quality of grandparents.
Actively cooperate with kindergartens and communities, set up parent schools, edit popular science early education books suitable for elderly parents, teach some basic concepts and principles of early education, introduce some life-oriented and family-oriented infant education methods and contents, and improve the level of scientific parenting. Pesta Locke pointed out that children's psychological ability presents different phenomena at different stages, with different degrees. Educators should consider the age of children. One of the purposes of early education is to let parents and children learn and grow together. Through the training of early education concepts, knowledge and methods in parents' schools, grandparents can constantly update their own educational concepts and methods.
3. Actively create a mixed family education model.
The full coordination, cooperation and communication between grandparents promoted the formation of early education types of mixed families. First of all, their respective positioning. Parents are directly responsible for bringing up and educating their children. In addition to the responsibility of raising and caring, the elderly should also be the lubricant of parent-child love. Two generations should communicate more, think of their children as much as possible, and reach an agreement on raising children.
As an objective way of family education, intergenerational education has a great influence on children's personality development. Education is not only about family, but also about society. It not only needs the coordination of parents, grandparents and grandchildren within family members, but also needs the support of a good social environment to provide a better environment for intergenerational education and promote its long-term benign development. In order to make intergenerational education become? Characteristic education? We should clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of intergenerational education, and strive to overcome all kinds of negative influences while giving full play to its educational advantages, so as to improve children's existing family education and make them grow up happily and healthily. Through active guidance, a large number of vivid and school-based application topics of intergenerational education will be carried out to promote more grandparents to become qualified parents who keep pace with the times and make intergenerational education become? Characteristic education? Through the cooperation of schools, society and families, we will work together to create a new generation of separated education.
