Early childhood education is different from other education. Early childhood education is mainly for children aged 3 to 6 years old. Early childhood education is the second half of preschool education or early education. It is an individual education. important and special stage of development.

1. Selection of life-oriented education content

Determine activity content from issues that interest children

Interest is the best teacher. The "Outline" points out that we should be good at discovering things that children are interested in, pay attention to children's reactions during activities, be sensitive to their needs, and respond in an appropriate manner in a timely manner. For example, when children first enter kindergarten, they often hide a few candies in their pockets and secretly share them with their peers. Based on this life material, we carried out the theme activity of "Candy Sweetness" and asked the children to voluntarily bring various candies. As a result, the children not only tasted the deliciousness of candies, but also learned about the different types and characteristics of various candies. Taste, effectively enriching children's life experience.

Secondly, we must observe carefully in our lives and catch children’s points of interest in a timely manner. That is to say, teachers should use keen observation skills to capture fleeting life information from young children in a timely manner and give full play to their educational value.

Choose activities from festivals familiar to young children

Festivals are important symbols of social life. They are not only a reflection of cultural characteristics, but also an embodiment of the humanistic spirit. In particular, traditional festivals familiar to young children such as the Spring Festival, Children's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc. are all available curriculum resources. Take "March 8th" Women's Day as an example. The woman that children are most familiar with is their mother, so I let the children start by understanding their mother, mother's work, mother's hard work for this family, what has mother done for me? Thereby stimulating children's love for their mother, and then inspiring children: "What have you done for mother, and how do you plan to make mother's holiday happy?" Let children understand that love is two-way, and stimulate children's desire to make small gifts for mother with their own hands. desire. So the "I Love My Love" activity started in full swing.

2. Implementation of life-oriented activity process

Let life into the classroom

A life-oriented classroom can make children feel lively and interesting, full of human touch, and return to life It has been increasingly recognized by the educational community. For example: When I organized children to carry out the activity of "Perceiving Quantities Within 6", I arranged the activity room into a "supermarket" and asked the children to be "customers". Each person had a number of idea cards within 6 and took one idea card. Cards can buy one object in the same quantity as the points, and several objects in the same quantity as the points. The reproduction of this kind of life scene makes children feel friendly and interesting, and they not only gain knowledge but also develop their abilities.

Sometimes I also introduce real life into the classroom. For example, in the "Fruit Salad" activity, the children and I put the fruits brought by varieties into categories, and then let the children look at the fruits, talk about them, and learn about them. shapes and different flavors. Finally, wash the fruit, cut the fruit, make fruit salad, and taste the fruit salad together with the children. In this series of activities, children experience the joy of life and learn the skills of life. The activities such as "Fragrant Vegetables" and "Fragrant Popcorn" are organized in a way that children experience life. Let life enter the classroom and inject new vitality into our teaching activities.

From the classroom to life

Nature and the big society are the living textbooks. We must make full use of various educational resources to broaden the living and learning space of children and lead them to kindergarten. , integrate into nature and the big society. In early childhood education, we should not just stop at learning from life, but also guide them to use the knowledge they have learned to live better. For example, children learned to cut window grilles and origami flowers in kindergarten. After returning home, some children decorate their own small rooms with their parents to improve the living environment and make the environment more beautiful and life better. Some children learned to make "fruit salad" and often showed off their skills at home and enjoyed life. After learning "Safe Traffic Rules", some children stopped parents from running red lights and asked parents to walk on zebra crossings when crossing the road, in order to create a civilized and safe environment. The urban environment plays a role.

3. Closely connect with the reality of life and cultivate children’s adaptability

Learning comes from life and learning also serves life. Better adapt to life.

The "Outline" points out that "the selection of educational activity content should not only be close to children's lives to select things and issues that children are interested in, but also help expand children's experience and horizons." We start from the life around children, develop and innovate activities in life, pay attention to whether the activities can truly arouse children's participation and interest, and promote the further development of children's abilities.

For example, the theme activity of our kindergarten middle class "I go to the supermarket" is derived from the children's area activity "Little Shop". Based on the children's experience of going to the supermarket, the "Supermarket" is introduced Through activities, we discovered the different rules for placing items in supermarkets and general stores, supermarket shopping order, shopping etiquette, etc. Teachers collected materials with children to upgrade the "small store" to a "small supermarket" and experience it in children's independent activities Supermarket shopping fun.

In conjunction with "Environmental Protection Day" and "Labor Day", the theme activity "I am a little environmental protection guard" was carried out, and videos of waste gas pollution, water pollution...environmental pollution were played to understand the harm that environmental pollution brings to people's lives. , deepen children's understanding of "environmental pollution" and develop environmental awareness. With the theme of "Save the Earth", we carry out a series of activities such as children's art exhibitions open to the public, designing "Care for the Environment" signboards, and cleaning the campus to jointly care for our living environment. In this activity, various learning forms are combined with the phenomena in life to guide children's active participation. Each content penetrates each other, triggering the organic combination of various elements of education, and promoting children's comprehensive perception of life, adapting to life, and caring for life.

Conclusion

Since our education is based on the concept of life, the relationship between kindergarten teachers must also be changed accordingly to achieve a new positioning. Preschool teachers must change The concept of teaching puts oneself on an equal footing with children. When educating children, avoid using forced indoctrination. Although children are younger, they also have their own emotional experiences. Instead, they must use discussion, sharing, equality, and Strengthen communication with young children in a patient manner.

Teachers should answer children’s questions and needs seriously and honestly. They should not fool around just because the children are young. If such an attitude is adopted, it will easily cause the children to develop bad habits, thus values ??that influence their future. In short, teachers should be good guides and supporters, inspiring children to engage in meaningful life exploration. Only in this way can we realize the daily life of preschool teachers.

To realize the daily life of early childhood education, it requires joint efforts from all aspects. In particular, early childhood teachers must clarify their job responsibilities, uphold a serious and responsible attitude, strengthen exploration of practice, and effectively Contribute to the realization of better life-oriented early childhood education.

Expansion:

As the saying goes, "A three-year-old is an eighty-year-old." 0 to 3 years old is the most critical period for a person's intellectual development, but many parents don't know how to grasp this critical period. Many of your children's behaviors are determined before they are three years old. The key point is whether you have given your children sufficient learning and development opportunities and given them enough love.

Observing children is the first step

If you have a delicate heart to observe your children, this is the right first step. Parents’ ideas are different from those of their children, so we have to test the children step by step. In terms of emotional education, it is very important to understand the child's personality. One's emotional management is not to learn a lot of theories, but to understand the child and love the child in the process of treating the child.

Love is a learning process. In the fragments of life, understand the needs of the child instead of hurting him. Children grow very fast, so you should always pay attention to his changes. Parents should be smart enough to understand whether their children are normal. Don't just rebuke and punish them. You must know that it is because you don't understand them, and you end up reprimanding and punishing them. , you must know that it is because you don't understand him, and in the end you hurt him; children learn with their feelings, so parents must create situations to learn how to love others, and let their children express what they want or don't want.

If just "teaching" and "giving" are not enough, you need to learn interactively with your children to know how to give appropriately. There are many successful people in the world because they are confident in themselves, but most juvenile delinquents have no self-confidence because their parents often tell them that they can’t do it or they can’t have it. Therefore, they give their children sufficient needs and satisfaction, so that their chances of success will increase. There will be a lot more.

Parent-child interaction affects future development

In fact, it is not difficult for parents to find that children who cry do not necessarily want to be hugged, but want to know that their parents are around, so whether they should be hugged or not The problem is to understand what he wants. Some parents simply use pacifiers to solve the problem, but is this education method correct? The reason why zero-year-old education is important is because the behavior of parents will affect the child, how parents and children interact, and how they interact with each other. Future emotions will have a huge impact.

To develop children’s personality before they are 0 years old, parents must know how to use their hearts and minds, so that you can save more effort in educating your children in the future. For example, I want to wake up my child to nurse before going to work, but the child is sleeping very deeply. It will be very unpleasant to be woken up, so I think about how to make him get up happily. After my observation, I found that if the parents’ emotions at that time are Being eager and oppressive will make the child feel uneasy, so I decided to let him see my smiling face as soon as he opened his eyes. I would hold him to play with dolls, hold his hand and let him pat it. Take a shot and talk to him so that he understands that this ritual means getting up and saying hello to others.

So it is important to create a good atmosphere for getting up. In addition, it is also important to choose a nanny. You must know whether the nanny smiles and has a frown, so as not to bring negative emotions to the child.

Spread happy emotions

An adult’s smile is the best role model for children, and your disciplinary attitude is also related to his obedience. For example, if a child hates washing his face, parents will You need to know how to bring good emotions to him first. You can wash your face while humming a song to make your child feel that washing his face is a pleasant thing. Then ask him if he wants to wash his face, so that he will have expectations and then like it. thing. This process seems like playing, but it also does what you should do regularly, so you don’t have to be rigid in disciplining your children. Parents may wish to learn some cartoon words and fantasies to let their children be infected with your happy emotions.

When parents feel that doing something is happy, your children will definitely be happy; if you feel unhappy, your children will also feel unhappy. This is a failure to use the right heart and the right force. Children can lay the foundation for good emotions and character through happy experiences, and gain the happiness of success. Education before the age of three depends on parents observing their children's needs, rather than listening to what others say. As long as that method can bring happiness, it is feasible; if it bothers you, don't use that method, because The child's mood can also be affected.

Parents should be focused and attentive

Focus and attentiveness are the best parenting methods. Also, my child does not need diapers when he is less than one year old. The premise is that he needs to be toilet trained, but I am worried about forcing him, so I asked her how to train him. It turned out that every time the nanny took him to the toilet, he would put water on the side and sit on the toilet at a fixed time every day so that he could develop the urge to urinate. Over time, he would know when to relieve himself, or when the faucet was turned on, he would have the urge to urinate. , and every time after feeding, the nanny teaches him to pull the water, and learns to turn on the lights and open the door, so that the child feels like he is playing. Remember that when he is learning, never scold him, but let him learn to go to the toilet happily. It can be seen from this that the method is very important and must be focused and attentive.

How to raise children in the right way

For example, when my child could crawl, I would worry that he would be easily injured, so I would enclose an area to limit his range of activities, but When he grew up, he would push things away. Even if I tightened the containment later, I didn't expect him to make more dangerous moves. I found that this method didn't work, so I covered the socket cover or put things away so that he would no longer be curious. Also, he was very curious about cooking. I was afraid that he would get hurt, so I put him in the stroller. Unexpectedly, his attitude became very impatient, so I carried him to watch his father cooking, or gave him a toy spatula to give him a sense of participation.

It can be seen from this that children cannot be controlled by restrictions, prohibitions, and orders, but by understanding what they are curious about. As long as they can satisfy their curiosity, they can stop being curious. But what should I do if he is also curious about dangerous things? I never encourage scaring children, for example, letting him touch hot water, because when he is young, parents should avoid letting him come into contact with danger, so a good teaching is to create a Good space instead of scaring him.

As the saying goes, "three years old determines eighty years old."

0 to 3 years old is the most critical period for a person's intellectual development, but many parents don't know how to grasp this critical period. Many parents think that it is enough for their children to eat well, or they can’t wait to teach their children to read and do math problems when they are very young. Dr. Lin Shaoyong from the Child Health Department of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital pointed out that playing is a child's nature and the correct way to raise children aged 0 to 3 is to let them learn through games and communicate more with them and play games.

Among them, building blocks are one of the toys suitable for young children. Dr. Lin said that 9-month-old children can begin to sit firmly on their own and turn around flexibly. At this time, children can be allowed to play with simple building blocks, such as building heights. In the process of building the height, not only the child's hand-eye coordination ability can be trained, but also the child's finger fine movement ability can be trained. If you are a little older, you can let your children play with more complex building blocks, for example, let them use building blocks to build different shapes. In this way, the child's finger coordination ability, spatial imagination ability, etc. can be trained in the game.

Parents may wish to make some targeted and simple "earth toys" to play with their children.

Homemade Toy 1: Fishing. Suitable for children aged 1 to 1 and a half years old. Materials required: several pieces of cardboard (cut into fish shapes), several paper clips (to make fish hooks), thread, small wooden sticks (to make fishing rods), and magnets (attached to the cardboard). This game can train children's comprehensive abilities, especially finger coordination and cognitive abilities.

Homemade toys 2: Homemade pictures. Suitable for children aged 1 and a half to 2 years old. Materials needed: paper, paintbrush. Parents can make some targeted pictures, such as drawing a complete horse and a horse missing a leg and place them in front of their children at the same time, and let the children point out the differences between the two pictures. Such highly targeted pictures can It can train children's observation ability, and also inculcate the concepts of categories and numbers, etc., which has an enlightening effect on children.

Homemade toy three: golf club. Suitable for children over 1 and a half years old. Materials required: one plastic bottle, the mouth of the bottle can be plugged with newspaper rolled into a columnar shape to extend the overall length; one small ball. This game can train children's arm strength and hand-eye coordination. Games are not just about playing with toys, nor are they a personal matter for children. Toys are a kind of teaching aid and a physical bridge that can help parents communicate with their children. In addition, singing children's songs and playing games such as Story Solitaire with their children are also good choices for parents.
