How to cultivate children's good moral character in kindergarten quality education is not only the need of children's healthy physical and mental growth, but also the need of socialist modernization. Kindergarten should create a relaxed campus environment for civilized etiquette education, and pay attention to children's behavior training in daily management and life.
The ancients said well: "If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand in society. As a "state of etiquette" with a history of more than 5,000 years, China stresses civilization and uses etiquette, which is an important way to carry forward national culture and show national spirit.
According to many studies at home and abroad, preschool children are flexible and easy to accept information, which is the best time to develop civilized etiquette habits. Aristotle said that "habits formed from childhood can change a person's life". Doing a good job in children's civilized etiquette education is the need of the times, the need to improve the quality of the whole nation and the need of socialist spiritual civilization construction.
Based on the reality of our garden, our garden has carried out a series of targeted etiquette education activities around the central topic of "children's etiquette and character education" and combined with the age characteristics of children, which has been well received by parents and society.
First of all, we should pay attention to cultivating children's independence, self-confidence and ability to respect others. When a child knows how to respect others, understand others and form good behavior habits, he will be accepted by others and have many friends, and these friends will indirectly or directly bring him corresponding development opportunities, so that the child can gradually form a sound personality and the ability to communicate with others and do things.
Secondly, pay attention to the cultivation of children's concentration and sense of order. When children are focused and orderly, the improvement of learning quality is inevitable. Psychologist John gotman's research also shows that children who know manners and manners will be healthier physically and mentally, more concerned about others, more compassionate, have more friends and have better academic performance.
Third, pay attention to the harmonious development of children's body and mind. When children encounter troubles in kindergarten life and study, they can talk and share with teachers or children, then children will always maintain a normal psychological state, which will promote the harmonious development of children's body and mind.
Etiquette enlightenment education for children will promote the development of children's personality, sociality and moral quality, and will have a positive and far-reaching impact on children's future study and even their whole life. So, how to cultivate children's etiquette norms in daily life?
1 Apply the theoretical knowledge of civilized etiquette to real life.
People often say, "It's just empty talk." The formation of a child's beautiful mind and excellent quality cannot be achieved overnight. We should permeate etiquette education into all aspects of daily life. In games, entering the park, eating, going to the toilet, taking a nap, outdoor activities, educational activities, transition links and other activities, various situations are provided for children, and specific requirements are put forward for the behavior of each link. Such as entering the park: children are required to be neat, greet teachers and peers when entering the park, and bid farewell to parents; Dining: keep the desktop clean, cherish food, eat by yourself, and form the good habit of consciously cleaning up the tableware, gargling and wiping your mouth after dinner; Go to the toilet: ask children to be polite to each other, wash their hands after defecation to save water, and take a certain amount of water as needed when drinking water; Nap: Ask children to sleep quietly, don't disturb other children, tidy up their shoes and clothes, and make their beds consciously after getting up. Outdoor activities, regional activities and educational activities: Children are required to speak in a civilized way, not to compete for toys, to be modest, to be willing to communicate and cooperate with their peers, and to form a friendly peer relationship.
2. Carry out theme activities to promote etiquette.
In addition to paying attention to the educational infiltration of daily etiquette in one-day activities, we should also carry out various theme activities to guide children to form good etiquette habits.
Strengthen the cultivation of children's etiquette habits by carrying out a series of theme activities of "etiquette with me". One is to hold a "Little Courtesy Officer" activity once a year. Every Monday, two polite children are chosen to stand at the gate of the garden to meet their parents and children and receive them with a smile. The second is to have a "weekly talk". Each class has a talk once a week to talk about how to be a polite boy. The third is to learn "ten polite expressions" and learn to sing a civilized song. Fourth, at the end of the month, we will select "Little Courtesy", "Little Hygienist" and "Star of Civilized Courtesy" and other civilized etiquette treasures.
In addition, we should seize every opportunity to create conditions for children, help them learn basic polite expressions and communication methods, encourage them to express themselves boldly, dare to speak, love to talk, talk more, talk more, and actively communicate with others, so as to cultivate and develop children's language expression ability, communication ability, life skills, self-confidence and love feelings.
3 combined with games, cultivate etiquette and sentiment
Children's thinking is visual, and children's interest in learning can be stimulated through games and situational exercises, so that children can achieve the goal of habit formation in the process of combining with life practice.
For example, when children play "Doll's House", they will take the initiative to divide into different roles, some playing father, some playing mother and some playing baby. Before the game, remind the children that the parents of the doll family should take good care of the children and the children should be polite to their parents. When children play with building blocks, they are asked to cooperate in groups, and everyone works together to build what they like. Several children build blocks together, discuss while building blocks, and all kinds of ideas are mixed together, which often creates unexpected shapes for adults.
4 Teachers set an example of learning
The power of example is infinite. Confucius, a great thinker and educator in China, emphasized the necessity for teachers to set an example. He said: "He is honest and has no orders to do things; His body is not right, although he does not obey. " Children are easily influenced by the outside world. Teachers are the objects directly imitated by children and the main implementers of civilized etiquette education.
As a teacher, we should pay attention to our words and deeds and set an example for our children. Dress neatly and generously, be full of energy, greet every child and parent with a smiling face, take the initiative to say hello to each child, and pay attention to affinity and courtesy when communicating with each child. Just like friends, teachers talk seriously, enthusiastically and politely. Inspired by teachers, children can take the initiative to say hello to teachers and children, and say hello and goodbye to parents. A harmonious atmosphere has been formed in the class, allowing children to receive subtle education and creating a good educational atmosphere.
5. Close family ties and strengthen etiquette and habits.
To improve the quality and effect of children's etiquette education, there must be family cooperation. Therefore, kindergarten teachers should always keep in touch with parents, introduce children's learning and performance in the park, understand children's activities and performance in the family, and master the performance of children's etiquette in the family. At the same time, parents are publicized through the tutor column, so that parents can lead by example and achieve the consistency of family education.
Establishing parent schools is also an effective strategy to cultivate children's good manners by keeping close contact with their families. On the one hand, give etiquette lectures to parents regularly to unify their understanding and cause scolding; On the other hand, some experienced parents are invited to exchange and discuss, so as to truly achieve synchronous education at home, thus improving parents' etiquette concepts and manners.
The implementation of etiquette education needs guidance, inspiration and infection, the joint efforts of education and environment, the creation of a good family atmosphere and social atmosphere, the infiltration of etiquette education into every bit of life, and a process from strangeness to proficiency, and then from proficiency to ease of use. Through repeated drills, children can gain emotional experience, promote the internalization of values, persevere and grasp to the end, and form good manners and customs.
