First of all, we should start by training children to learn to dress and undress! For example, it is autumn, the weather is getting colder every day, and children are wearing more and more clothes. It is a good thing for children in small classes to learn to dress and undress, but from our educational practice, most children have not developed their own clothes. Although it is a detail of life for children to put on and take off their clothes, it is likely to affect their health if they are not careful.
Keywords: self-care ability training strategy of putting on and taking off clothes
In a blink of an eye, the child has been in a small class for a semester. This semester, the children overcame the anxiety of separation when they first entered the park and lived happily. As a teacher, I feel very gratified. At the same time, I also realize that it is not easy to cultivate children's self-care ability. Small-class children have a preliminary sense of self-care, but their self-care ability is still relatively weak, mainly because the development of large muscle movements and small muscle movements of small-class children is not perfect. In order to enhance their self-care ability, we should start from bit by bit in life!
First of all, we should start by training children to learn to dress and undress! For example, it is autumn, the weather is getting colder every day, and children are wearing more and more clothes. It is a good thing for children in small classes to learn to dress and undress, but from our educational practice, most children have not developed their own clothes. Although it is a detail of life for children to put on and take off their clothes, it is likely to affect their health if they are not careful. So how did this happen? The reasons are roughly as follows:
1. The concept of family education is backward.
Many parents think that loving their children means doing everything for them. Some parents think that their children are still young, so help them if they can, and help them when they are older. They feed their children without complaint, help them dress and pack their toys ... but it is difficult for children to get rid of lazy habits from an early age. How will they be responsible for their families and society in the future?
2. Lack of hands-on opportunities.
Most children wear clothes at home from adults, and love inadvertently deprives them of the opportunity to do it themselves. Children don't have to think at all, just reach for clothes. Over time, children have developed the bad habit of laziness because they have no habit of doing it themselves. When they are allowed to do it themselves, they will say "I won't" smoothly. Mr. Chen Heqin once said: "Children should be allowed to do what they can."
3. Lack of self-responsibility.
Today's children are like the little sun at home. There are so many planets around them that they don't have to worry about anything. A group of adults understand them. They have developed the bad habit of children relying on adults in everything, lacking the consciousness of being responsible for themselves, which is very unfavorable to their development.
4. Lack of correct method guidance.
Under the guidance of teachers, many children know that they should do their own things, but most children don't have the right method and make mistakes when they do it themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to teach children the correct methods, so that they feel orderly and organized, gain a sense of success, and make them willing to do things by themselves, such as dressing and undressing themselves.
In the face of the above analysis, I think we can train from the following aspects:
First, first of all, we should teach children the correct way to put on and take off their clothes. (1) Don't take off your clothes inside out. Some pull the sleeves first, and some pull the collar first. No matter whether you take off your sleeves or your collar first, you should pay attention to pulling your sleeves and shrinking your hands, so that you can avoid taking off your clothes backwards and it is convenient to wear. When the child takes off his clothes, the teacher should always remind him: "Pull up your sleeves and shrink your hands." (2) Think before you get dressed. Which one to wear inside and which one to wear outside, the inside should be worn first, and the front and back of the sweater should be clearly recognized. When children wear sweaters, they often wear them without looking at the front and back. Therefore, we should teach children to know the front and back of sweaters, and look at the patterns on clothes and the height of collars. (3) pay attention to the order. Pay attention to the order of making the bed and undressing when sleeping. Many children will reverse the order, take off their pants first and then lay the quilt, which will also make children catch a cold. Sleeping and getting up are in the opposite order. When you sleep, you should spread the quilt first, then take off your pants, put your legs under the bed and take off your clothes. This order can keep children from catching a cold. (4) the essentials of wearing a coat. Considering children's learning characteristics, we weave the process of dressing into vivid nursery rhymes to help children master the process and essentials of dressing: grasping the collar, building a house, grasping the sleeves and drilling two holes. (5) Take off your clothes and pants and fold them neatly. If you leave your clothes lying around one by one, the children will miss them because they can't see them. Fold the clothes and pants, take them off and put them in the designated place, so that they won't leak.
Second, use simple and interesting nursery rhymes, stories, pictures and other forms to improve the dressing ability of small class children. The thinking characteristics of three or four-year-old children are still intuitive and action-oriented. They are very imitative and like parroting. The content of children's songs is concrete, intuitive and vivid, catchy and easy to understand. On the other hand, the content of children's songs has a direct guiding role in learning. If you explain it to your child in a straightforward way, the child will not listen at all, and will feel bored and bored. In order to let children master the essentials of putting on and taking off clothes as soon as possible.
We can teach children some short and interesting children's songs, such as "The Song of Dressing and Wearing Shoes": the little hand is stretched out and the sleeve is put in; Stretch your calves and put your pants in; Divide the left and right shoes, one left foot and one right foot. "The song of wearing a pullover" "There are three holes in a dress. First put your head into the big hole, then put your arms into the small holes on both sides and straighten your clothes. " "The Song of Wearing Cardigan" "Grab the neckline, turn the clothes over on your back, grab the sleeves, stretch your arms, adjust and button the neckline, and dress neatly." Song of folding clothes: close the door, close the door, hug the arm, hug the arm, bend over, bend over, my clothes are folded. "Strip Song": shrink your head, pull out the turtle shell, shrink your hands and pull out the cuffs. The catchy children's songs are loved by children, which stimulates their interest in dressing, enhances children's self-care ability, and has many hands-on opportunities and obvious effects.
In kindergartens, teachers usually adopt a competitive approach. At present, there is basically only one child at home, and there is no competitor in the competition, so it is not easy to do it. You can use the method of timing each time. If the child takes off his clothes for the second time shorter than the first time and makes progress, parents can provide rewards in time. The reward is best in kind, which can be a child's recent favorite toy. Because children have competitive psychology, it is necessary to grasp this characteristic of children and cultivate them purposefully so that children can be "fooled" unconsciously. Children's self-care ability can not only be developed, but also find a sense of accomplishment, which is conducive to enhancing children's self-confidence. When teaching children to dress up, don't worry, you need patience, observation, guidance and help. When children can't put on clothes, don't replace them, but encourage them while helping: "Don't worry, get dressed soon. Look, that's great! This is not a fake! " It will make children feel that they put it on themselves, which will be very happy and will arouse their interest in wearing clothes. Habit formation, children know that dressing and undressing is their own business, take the initiative to ask themselves to do their own things, and constantly improve their ability to live independently.
Third, use games to cultivate the dressing ability of small class children.
Games are children's main activities, and every child has a playful nature. Through some usual game activities, children can develop good living and hygiene habits while playing and doing. In the game, let the children compete to see who is the best dressed baby, and we will reward them in time. The competition can be divided into boys and girls, zippers and buttons, and so on. This enables children to learn some skills and techniques in life while playing. Use game activities to let children have fun and learn skills in the game. Why not? Children in small classes are sensitive, fragile and easily afraid. We should not ignore their small progress and encourage them in time. If a child can dress himself, we first affirm him and praise him: "You are really capable and can dress yourself." Then say to him, "Will you tidy up your clothes next time?" This will help children improve their self-confidence. With the passage of time, children's self-care ability has been continuously improved. Our class launched a "sending stickers" activity, and through the way of rewarding stickers, we can see who can put on and take off clothes quickly and well every time. Through praise and appraisal, the children worked harder and made great progress, such as Long and Chen. They used to need help, but now they are capable children, and their self-care ability has been greatly improved.
Fourthly, it is not easy to form a good habit, which also requires the efforts of parents. Parents should be patient and encourage more. After all, it is still difficult for children in small classes to dress and undress themselves. Parents should be patient, not teaching a lot at once, nor asking their children to do it well in a short time. At first, the child may not wear it well, his trousers are put on backwards or his legs are stuck in the same trouser leg. Sometimes children are in a hurry, and once they don't wear it well, they lose interest and stop wearing it themselves. At this time, parents can help their children undress first, and use encouraging tone while helping, such as: "I believe the baby will be able to do it", "The baby will be well dressed" and "The baby has been very good and has made great progress". Let children feel that it is not difficult to take off their clothes and build self-confidence.
In addition, you can also use timely rewards. For example, when children are in high spirits, let them have a undressing contest with their parents at home. Aggressive and active is a child's nature. The children are very interested in designing a contest to dress and undress, and the effect is very good. Children can learn to dress and undress by themselves, which can help them form a good habit of doing things by themselves, and at the same time exercise their hands-on operation ability and develop their small hand muscles. Finally, experience the happiness of success and establish self-confidence. Therefore, parents can communicate, exchange and discuss with us through various contact methods such as telephone, SMS, QQ and WeChat. Understand the children's self-care situation in kindergarten, cooperate with the homework assigned by the teacher and train the children's self-care ability at home.
