Educational Notes: Facing Children's Mistakes
Case: When she was admitted to the hospital early, Zhang Yu's mother brought a small bag of things and said to the teacher, "This is the toy that Zhang Yu brought home from kindergarten yesterday. I criticized him at home yesterday and his father was so angry that he wanted to hit him. " I took the small bag and saw that it was a small toy in the activity area. I didn't criticize Zhang Yu immediately, but comforted her mother and reassured her parents that the teacher would solve it. I think that in the face of children's faults, children should not be simply labeled as "stealing". We should understand that children are young and have poor self-control. It is not a matter of quality to quietly take away what they like. I used the time in the activity area to call him to my side and communicate with him in a low voice. Do you like this little toy in the activity area? He nodded. "If you like, you can tell your mother to buy it for you, or you can tell your teacher to allow you to take it home and bring it back the next day. If you don't like your own things, you can't take them away quietly. That is wrong. Today, my mother brought the toy back, which is right. The teacher believes that you will never bring home anything that doesn't belong to you again. Can you do it? " He nodded vigorously. The teacher didn't criticize him too much, but guided him to analyze right and wrong by speaking, and finally understood where he was wrong. Analysis: In the face of children's mistakes, don't impose criticism, but let children know where they are wrong and what they should do in the future without hurting their self-esteem. Teachers' understanding and respect are easier for children to accept and let them correct their mistakes better.
