Self-care ability mainly refers to the ability to take care of yourself, which is the basic skill of everyone's survival. But now, children have become the center of a family. Parents and the elderly at home take too much care of their children, which leads to their lack of basic self-care ability. Especially after children enter kindergarten, there are problems such as not eating, not going to the toilet and not drinking water. Everything needs the help of kindergarten teachers, which not only adversely affects children's future development, but also increases the workload of kindergarten teachers. Therefore, parents should deeply realize that excessive care and protection for their children is harmful to their future growth. Therefore, it is very necessary to explore effective measures to cultivate children's self-care ability.

Causes of children's lack of self-care ability

Family reasons of children

At present, the parents of most families in China are only children, and six adults, father, mother, grandfather, grandmother and grandfather, surround a child. Children usually live a mouth-to-mouth life, not because they are too lazy to do it themselves, but because the adults at home don't give them the opportunity to do it themselves. They are willing to do it for their children, and get a certain sense of happiness from it, and feel that they are always needed. There are also some parents who spoil their children too much. They are worried that in the process of doing things, if there is any accident or danger, it will not be worth the loss, so even if the children can do it themselves, they are not willing to let them do it. In the long run, children will gradually lose their hands-on ability, and even cause certain ideological misunderstandings to children. Some children will think that these things should be done by adults and have nothing to do with me. I don't need to work hard. As long as I express what I want to my family, I can get what I want. For example, some children will throw their toys in every corner of the house when playing with toys, but he will not feel that he should take the initiative to clean up the toys, but should let his parents come and clean up; Moreover, when he wants to drink water, he will not take the initiative to pick it up, but needs his parents to bring it to his mouth. There are also some children who don't have the habit of turning off the TV at any time after watching cartoons. Therefore, family reasons are the main reasons for children's lack of self-care ability.

Children lack opportunities to learn self-care methods and skills.

Some children also want to improve their self-care ability, but they don't know how to improve their self-care ability. In kindergarten life, children in kindergarten are relatively young. They only know how to simply listen to the teacher in kindergarten. When the teacher told him to get dressed, he got dressed, and when the teacher told him to eat, he went to eat. When children encounter problems that they can't solve, kindergarten teachers will also provide them with corresponding guidance. Under the guidance of kindergarten teachers, children will do these things that are conducive to cultivating self-care ability. But at home, parents' excessive care makes children lack the opportunity to learn self-care methods and skills.

Children lack opportunities to practice.

In kindergarten, if children eat, drink and go to the toilet by themselves, they will be praised by kindergarten teachers, but the number of times they can practice eating and drinking skills is not particularly high, up to three or four times a day. Children spend more time at home, and eating is the best opportunity to practice this skill. However, many family members think that children eat too slowly, and sometimes the food is cold, so they don't let the children eat by themselves, but choose to feed them. Others think that children can already eat, so kindergartens can eat independently, and it doesn't matter whether they feed themselves at home or not. Obviously, this view is one-sided. If you want to master a skill, especially for younger children, you need to practice for a long time to become more proficient. Therefore, you must give your child the opportunity to practice repeatedly.

Effective measures to cultivate children's self-care ability

Kindergarten teachers improve children's self-care ability through demonstration exercises.

Some younger children, who have just entered kindergarten, have poor self-care ability, but they have strong imitation ability. Preschool teachers can let children master some self-care methods through demonstration exercises, and let children complete corresponding actions through some simple tips. Then you need to let the children practice again and again. For example, when eating, its rules are not to talk or be picky about food, and to clear the table after eating. At first, it will be difficult to ask children to complete these actions independently, because children are too young to talk to others and share their feelings, and some children have developed a bad habit of picky eaters at home, and they lack the consciousness of clearing the table after eating. Therefore, in the actual teaching process, kindergarten teachers demonstrate the correct eating steps for students, and then let the children practice constantly and give special guidance to some children with poor ability. After a period of practice, children will soon master the skills of eating independently.

Kindergarten teachers improve children's self-care ability through game activities.

In order to improve children's self-care ability, kindergarten teachers can design some teaching activities to closely combine games with the cultivation of labor skills, so that children can master self-care ability in the process of playing games. For example, to cultivate students' skills of "using chopsticks", kindergarten teachers can let children use chopsticks to hold different things. After proficiency, let the children try to hold beans, peanuts and so on with chopsticks. In addition, kindergarten teachers can organize a peanut contest to divide the children in the class into different groups. At the same time, which group has the most peanuts on the plate will win. Kindergarten teachers should give the winning group a certain reward, such as a candy and a praise. This is conducive to stimulating students' enthusiasm and interest, so that they can actively participate in peanut picking competitions. Even some children are still wanting more. After returning home, they will invite their parents to play peanut picking games with them and master the skills of using chopsticks through constant practice.

Kindergarten teachers use vivid and interesting language to improve children's self-care ability.

When the season changes, some children with poor resistance are prone to catch a cold, and parents will prepare handkerchiefs to wipe their noses, but many children put them directly in their pockets after wiping their noses with handkerchiefs, which is very unsightly. When kindergarten teachers saw this phenomenon, they organized an activity to teach children to know the four sides of the veil and then teach them how to fold it. Kindergarten teachers weave the method of folding handkerchiefs into jingles, so that children can better remember the formula of folding handkerchiefs. Therefore, the use of vivid and interesting language is also conducive to stimulating children's interest in learning some self-care skills.

Kindergarten teachers improve children's self-care ability through encouragement and affirmation.

Parents and teachers should not ignore the little progress made by their children in the process of study and life, but should give them encouragement, which can help them build confidence in learning self-care skills. For example, a child has just learned to dress himself, but his clothes are put on backwards. The first thing parents should do is to affirm their children's sense of independence and say to him, "Wow! Baby is great today, she can dress herself. " Later, he corrected the problem of wearing reverse clothes and said to him, "It's a pity that the teacher can only look at such beautiful clothes from the back, because the baby wears them backwards." Shall we wear it again? " This is conducive to improving children's confidence in self-care ability and stimulating their enthusiasm for learning self-care skills.

Improve children's self-care ability through family cooperation

Preschool teachers should strengthen communication and exchanges with parents and improve children's self-care ability through family cooperation. The child has just entered kindergarten, and the parents don't know the kindergarten teacher, and the kindergarten teacher doesn't know the situation of the child at home. Therefore, kindergarten teachers should first publicize the importance and plan of cultivating children's self-care ability to parents, so that parents can change their educational concepts and actively participate in the team of cultivating children's self-care ability. For example, in the past, parents of young children sent their children to kindergarten to help them carry their schoolbags, and the same words were repeated. Now parents ask students to do their own things, carry their schoolbags independently, and don't always tell teachers, because they believe that children can take care of themselves in kindergarten.

To sum up, cultivating children's self-care ability is an important part of preschool teachers' work, especially in the context of the development of quality education, it is very important to improve children's self-care ability. However, the formation of any habit is not achieved overnight. It requires the joint efforts of families, society and kindergartens to teach students the methods and skills to cultivate their self-care ability, and at the same time provide children with opportunities for practice and exercise, so that children can better master their self-care skills.
