1, ubiquitous etiquette education
There was once a video about Japanese kindergartens abroad, which recorded the daily life of an extremely ordinary Japanese kindergarten.
After the child is sent to kindergarten by his parents, the first thing the child should do is to consciously put on indoor shoes.
Children need to put their belongings in their own cabinets without the help of teachers or other children.
When they move from room to room, every child will thank the people who take care of them.
The teacher who leads the child away will first make a gentle demonstration: "All right, everyone, let's say hello to the teacher."
Then the children will bow together and say, "thank you!" " "
And the teachers in this room, as well as the children older than them, will get up and respond enthusiastically: "You're welcome!"
In Japanese kindergartens, the most important teaching goal is to teach every child to smile and say thank you.
So we will find that every little detail hides the education of children's etiquette.
For example, how to keep yourself clean and tidy; For example, how to do what you can do; For example, how to express gratitude to teachers and peers; For example, how to greet teachers and peers? ...
Children will get used to respecting their elders, being polite to others, knowing that they should consider other people's feelings, and then they will grow into elegant, generous and polite people.
2. Self-reliance education with clear boundaries
Not causing trouble to others is also an important aspect of Japanese education. When children are very young, parents teach them to be independent and not to rely on others.
A scene often seen on the streets of Japan is that children are holding schoolbags and related things by themselves, and even if adults pick them up, they are only accompanied by empty hands.
Moreover, most families ask their children to help with housework and tidy up their rooms and things around them.
Regarding the reasons, Duan Liyang Sugawara, an expert in parenting education, explained:
This seemingly "cruel" practice has enabled Japanese children to develop the ability to tidy up their rooms, handle their own affairs and live independently since childhood.
This is the power of habit. The accomplishment accumulated in every little thing will enable a person to maintain the persistence and dignity of life regardless of success or failure.
3. Cooperation and gratitude education with full participation.
When it comes to Japanese education, one word has to be mentioned, and that is "food education".
Every child will be educated about food and food-related knowledge at an early age.
When children can have simple conversations and exchanges, parents and caregivers will consciously instill knowledge about food sources, preparation, nutritional value, how to eat and how much to eat.
When children go to school, they will have lunch at school every day, and the school will further pass on the education of food education to children.
4, firm and natural anti-frustration education
Anti-frustration education does not mean creating setbacks for children and hitting their self-confidence.
Japan's anti-frustration education is more reflected in letting children bravely try to fail and encouraging them to succeed step by step.
It is typical to let children participate in various sports activities. Teachers usually set a goal for children that can be achieved through hard work. As long as the child's performance is better than last time, he will be encouraged by the teacher.
There is a video of a Japanese kindergarten child jumping out of a box on the Internet. A boy named Ling needs to transfer to another school for family reasons, and the kindergarten held a graduation ceremony for him in advance.
After the teacher gave him the diploma, he also prepared a challenge for him-10 jumping box.
In fact, Ling is not good at sports, and she is also afraid of jumping boxes. She often fails and cries for it.
But in the face of this challenge, he made serious preparations and began to try. The first time, failure; The second time, failure; The third time, I still failed. ...
After many failures, Ling began to cry and planned to give up.
At this time, the teacher said to the children, "Come on, let's lend our strength to Ling!" " "
So, the children formed an orderly circle and shouted, "You can do it! You can do it! You can do it! "
Then, a miracle really appeared. When Ling got up the courage to try again, she stepped on the pedal accurately, and then really jumped over the box of 10!
All the teachers and classmates are cheering and clapping for him. The 6-year-old child completed a transcendence of himself and a very successful anti-frustration education.
The purpose of this kind of anti-frustration education is to make children not afraid of failure, but to regard failure as the only way to the next success.
It is undeniable that society and family work together to cultivate children's polite and considerate personality, independent habits, feelings of respecting heaven and loving people, and indomitable courage in various details of life. This kind of intention is worth thinking and learning.
When children are young, we should give them enough love and companionship, and also give them enough good sense of rules and habits, which can benefit them for life.
It can be seen that Japanese education is really worth learning.
