Children are the father of adults, which is quoted from the book Early Childhood Education Methods by Italian child educator maria montessori. Montessori was the first woman to study medicine and the first female doctor of medicine in Italian history. Died in 1952. Her Children's Home was founded at the beginning of last century. Strangely, I have read this book several times, and I don't think it is out of date. On the contrary, for most parents and teachers in China, I think the ideas she advocated are not only out of date, but even advanced, even ahead. The child is the father of an adult. I think if I quote this sentence as the title, it will cause controversy. Because the relationship between children and adults, including most parents and children educators who have read this book, all agree that parents and children grow up together. (of course, this statement is already very advanced. But I want to say that was my opinion a few years ago. After reading this Montessori law about early childhood education several times, I think the relationship between children and adults should be: children are the father of adults. Let me first talk about the reason why I put forward this concept like this. We all know now, and we don't deny that every child is a genius. If we think deeply about this sentence, we can say that if this society can provide everyone with appropriate conditions and opportunities, each of us will become a genius of our time. It's just that without such conditions, we lost the opportunity to become geniuses. But children are geniuses. What we have to do now is to try our best to make more children become geniuses. Perhaps, because I have established this concept in my mind, I have respect and cooperation for everyone's heart, and I admire children more than most adults, especially the absolute majority of adults in China. Moreover, I think every adult should treat children and their world with such admiration. Like playing constitutionalism. We in China have been fighting for this for a century. Has constitutionalism been realized now? ! For example, you must have seen a group of children playing games, and suddenly a child broke in and said to everyone with a stick: I saw someone cursing. For everyone's sake, I will use this stick to drive away anyone who curses again. At this time, some hearing-sensitive children may look up to see who it is and what new game he wants to play; Most children may not even look up at him-they continue to play. Did you see who the boy with the stick drove away? No, mostly. He watched everyone play and soon joined in. Most of this stick has been put aside or put into new use in the game. And if this is in the world of adults, it is guaranteed to be divided into two classes: the government and the people or the master and slave because of the appearance of this stick. Some people may say that the example you gave is just an ideal state. When children play, there are still some children who don't obey the rules and let others play. Adults need to clear him out. When I hear you say that, I know that you have applied the mediocre and incompetent adult world to the world of gifted children again. And the child's talent is given by heaven. They use the wisdom of God. In order to let you know this wisdom, I should introduce you to Montessori's book. Before introducing the contents of this book, let me talk about several steps of my knowledge and understanding of this book, so that people who read this book can rise to the high stage of knowing God's wisdom as soon as possible. The first step was when I first became a teacher. As soon as I stepped onto the platform, I felt that the children should listen to me: anything said to me should be absorbed into their little heads like a sponge. But just a few exams and a big exam made me realize that "people are smart and stupid, and smart is high and low." Of course, it is not surprising that I have such an idea. Our ancestors had this tradition: the history books recorded that the Yellow Emperor traveled eastward and met a child who was herding horses. The child told him that the way to release the horse is to get rid of the black sheep. Our old ancestors nodded in recognition of this way. In China, most people who have been "managers" have this awareness. You see, many government officials say that the guiding ideology of documents, disciplines and regulations formulated for the sake of economy, public security and anti-corruption is really no different from that of "managing class affairs" at that time: people don't really treat them as people, but only as objects of management. Moreover, China has always been divided into two kinds, the government and the people, with only power. Even if he is a janitor and toilet manager, he can be a very serious manager, because he believes that the right to make rules lies with him, except supervision. The difference is that I still believe that "every child is a genius", and I know that genius is different. But I can only comfort myself: I have given up a part of my heart, just a child that God can't care about. I think we can only take care of the majority and give up or even eliminate a few black sheep. So, as a teacher, I just inherited the traditional ideas. But this difficulty is contrary to the wisdom of God. It is still a shame to think that the transition time at that stage was so long. Therefore, I can't help but regret the lingering spirit of the guiding ideology that I regret now, and want to tell you what I think of this book. The second step is when I find that some children study hard, but they can't learn anything or can't learn well. I think I should help them. I found many books. Of course, most of the time I only read operation books: for example, children learn English words and can't remember them. I think Montessori said: Let children feel the shapes of these words, then let them write by themselves, and then let them read what they have written, which can guide them to remember the words well. Even guide them to read. Seriously, I think these methods are very effective: I "teach" my children to overcome the problem of introductory English learning. At that time, I thought that operation was of course the most important part of education. To this end, I searched the operation methods introduced in various educational books. Because of this, I consider myself a very clever teacher: I think I can give orders to my students. Now that I think about it, I saw many writers I liked very much in Guantian at that time. They use a very arrogant or impatient tone to scold some vests that they really "despise" or "can't agree with". At that time, I looked down on all "unruly" attitudes like some arrogant officials. But now I think my arrogance at that time was the stupidest: because I think my way is likely to poison the hearts of many children. I can't treat them equally, which is one of the most unforgivable sins I have always considered. Just as we abuse violence in the name of democracy, it will only hurt democracy more in the end, and acting in the name of reform will hurt people's belief in reform more. In the third step, I gradually realized that education is not only a problem at the operational level, but also a misunderstanding in our understanding that has kept us wandering and caused the current situation. But when it comes to deepening my understanding of education, it turns out that during the discussion and confrontation of various ideologies on the Internet, the practice of each vest naturally reminds me of my former students. Because I was surprised to find that I am very familiar with many lifestyles and ways of thinking. And many of these ways of thinking have made me always hold a negative attitude towards the previous education, and more and more feel that the current education is the biggest hidden danger of our society and country. Compared with the implementation of constitutionalism and the establishment and improvement of the rule of law, such hidden dangers urgently need people's attention and remedy. This paper introduces my cognitive steps, and I think I can introduce maria montessori's early childhood education methods in this book. In fact, in my current thinking, I prefer to rename this book "Children are the Fathers of Adults". The whole book can be divided into three parts: The first part: Children's world is a "new world" completely different from the adult world. The first half of the book gives a detailed description of this new world: firstly, the genius performance of children at all ages in the process of growing up: their keen observation, their creativity, their ability to explore the world, their ability to love the adult world, etc., all of which are completely beyond the comparison of adults and even possible. What I want to emphasize in particular is that the author of this book is not transcendental, and every conclusion of her is drawn through observation and experience. She showed us that the children's world she saw and learned was extraordinary, and she also reminded us to think about the information she didn't observe and learn. To be honest, I am fascinated by the world of children: I remember a netizen saying that children are sent by God to correct human mistakes. I also believe that children's world is formed by the wisdom of God. What we have to do and should do is only to help children use this wisdom, not to lead their growth and make them lose the highest wisdom of mankind. Adults, because they don't fully understand the wisdom of the genius world, should treat children's performances with awe. Yes, which one of us, after learning about children's world, doesn't provide talented children with the help they need and tell them what to do all day? ! Who among us can command and dominate God with his ordinary wisdom? ! Who can not fear the wisdom of God? ! The second part introduces the concrete operation and practice of Children's Home she founded. Here I see how talented children show their talents. We can ask parents around us at will, even dull parents have sporadic memories of their children's cleverness in a certain aspect. But how many parents can help their children keep their original talents? ! I think many people abuse and criticize children at will, as we see now, but what's the difference between using bad words and people who say bad words? ! I think people will deeply reflect on themselves when they see these contents. This is a book for everyone to correct their mistakes and create their own environment and thoughts: we can improve our understanding of children with higher wisdom and reflect on our mistakes in treating God's wisdom. We can correct our mistakes ourselves. It should be said that this book also has the third part of advice, suggestions and remedies for our adult world. I think this is to correct children and adults. Around us, we are full of problem children, but also full of problem adults. But we can be sure that problem children are caused by problem adults. And the problems of problem adults are also formed from childhood. Problem adults continue to consciously and unconsciously create new problem children and problem adults. The world of children is the world of genius. Let us be in awe of the world. Children use the wisdom given by God. All we have to do is to provide them with the necessary help.
