I often hear parents complain that they like to scribble everywhere with a pen. Even though he bought painting supplies, drawing paper, and even signed up for an expensive painting class, he would not learn to paint conscientiously in the painting class, but the child would still scribble on the walls, furniture, and bed at home, which was annoying to death. No matter what I say, I don't listen. Sometimes I really want to "beat him" when I get angry.

Drawing during the sensitive period of graffiti is a process that children will inevitably go through.

Children's graffiti may be the biggest misunderstanding that parents have about their children. If parents cannot correctly understand this behavior, they will never be able to provide relevant guidance.

Children at this stage must not simply regard painting as painting. It is really too superficial. Children's painting is not the same concept as adults' painting. It is wrong to teach children to paint using adult methods.

It is a comprehensive early education activity. It combines sensory integration training, creative thinking enlightenment, language and painting expression, and children's psychological therapy. The act of drawing is just the most intuitive phenomenon.

Children are all unique, with unique perceptions and unique perspectives. Especially for children aged 2-4, this is their sensitive period for graffiti. Graffiti is a process that children must go through. Children's graffiti is not "painting" in the true sense. For children, the pen is a wonderful "toy" that can leave traces on the painted places. All kinds of strange lines can appear with just a little movement of the hands, which is incredible and very interesting for them.

So compared to drawing paper, drawing boards, etc., children are more willing to deal with walls and wardrobes because they are larger "drawing boards". In addition, the walls and floors are easy for children to operate. They are within reach and will not move randomly. They are also easier to control. Just pick up the pen and apply force with your little hands. What's more important is that children can stand or sit wherever they want, and it won't hinder their freedom of movement at all, and they won't have troubles such as "drawing outside" or "can't draw anymore".

Children will continue to draw for a long time in the large painting area, which is also conducive to the cultivation of children's concentration.

Many parents will be furious, but they will not change this status quo

In fact, at this time, children’s painting is an expression, a kind of understanding of the world, which is coordinated in his body Finally, for an exploration of the world, they attach great importance to this feeling and care more about your feedback. At this time, you need to use the Zhihuixing wall stickers to make a painting wall, guide the children to paint it together, and then tell the children that this will be the future In our graffiti world, you can draw whatever you want here, but not elsewhere. Let your children have rules and feel loved instead of dealing with a house that has been graffitied. Because you are likely to kill his graffiti experience and lose great educational opportunities during the sensitive period of graffiti: sensory integration training, thinking mode development, artistic enlightenment, and emotional expression relief.

Because at this time, children's "graffiti" has become a medium for children's self-expression and an outlet for their inner emotions to connect to the external environment. Remember that it is irresponsible to give children only one wall to draw on. Add care and guidance so that children can get encouragement and support, and children will continue to make progress.

Before language expression is perfected, graffiti is their second language

Adults have their own joys and sorrows, which they express through music, parties, etc., but children are different. , their language function is not yet perfect, and not all children are good at expressing their inner feelings. Children's inner depression and psychological burden will not be released by talking to a few close friends like adults. They do not have this ability. Painting is a self-report of a child’s psychology. Children's inner conflicts that cannot be expressed at ordinary times can be vented, which can reduce the psychological burden and help maintain mental health. At this time, the paintbrush has become their second language, and graffiti can help children express themselves and communicate with adults. Letting children draw is also an important means of psychological self-protection for children. And this is where children can best demonstrate their unique creativity and imagination.

If you look at children's works carefully, you will find that from a child's perspective, the world may be square and the sky may be red. In graffiti, children give wings to their thinking. , many children who love graffiti have strong imagination and creativity because they dare to break through reality and break through constraints. ?

Never teach them to draw too "seriously"

Because the reason why children love to doodle is because their perception and movements have developed to a certain extent. After coordination, the new exploration of the environment is a new movement practice. When a child is about 1 and a half to 2 years old, he can pick up painting tools and apply them. "Doodle" is a means of communication for children. Children's initial "doodle" is unconscious and has no idea or purpose of painting. However, as they age, they will slowly adjust their hand control and use graffiti for self-creation and emotional expression.

You can doodle with them to make them feel that you love them and encourage them. Only by building up your child's self-confidence can it continue and usher in the transformation of conscious painting.

During this period, children’s graffiti interest is completely protected by their parents

There are no technical requirements for parents, every parent can do it, as long as they provide a good environment and Safe paintbrushes encourage children to create. After completion, listen carefully to the children about their "masterpieces". In this process, the children not only exercise the coordination of hands, eyes, and brains, but also coordinate and improve body functions such as joints and muscles, and at the same time, their thinking, color perception, and Imagination and creativity are constantly improving.

? Artistic creativity is a potential that every child has. Let’s see how celebrities view graffiti.

Picasso, the founder of modern art, once said: “I was in the 10s. I drew like an old master at a few years old, but I spent a lifetime learning how to draw like a child. This shows how amazing the talent children show when they doodle.

But many parents don’t understand. For this reason, when seeing children painting, they often say, "You shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that." In fact, this is treating children as adults and stifling children's inspiration and creativity.

Once upon a time. I saw on a Weibo post that actress Sun Li lamented that the entire home was a masterpiece of children, but they did not stop them and allowed the children to paint. In the end, these became limited edition furniture for the children. This is not only It's furniture, and for a family, these are precious life memories?

The concept of Deng Chao and Sun Li is not wrong at all, but the method is not worth learning. After all, we don't know how to paint walls. Spending tens of thousands on renovations is nothing more than child’s play, and what should be protected should be protected.

Therefore, when faced with children in the “doodle period”, if adults can pay more attention to and analyze the “doodles” they write. "Doodle", regarding their graffiti creation as a reflection of emotion, wisdom, physiology, perception, sociality, beauty and creativity. Perhaps they can see the child's heart and help the child grow better.

Ron Field, a famous American art educator, believes: “In art education, art is just a method to achieve the goal, not a goal. The goal of art education is to create creative, physically and mentally healthy people, and creativity is the potential that every child has. ”

There are no two identical leaves in the world, and every child is unique. Maybe not every child is a painting genius, but every child has a love for painting and a child’s imagination. and creativity are innate, and their wild imagination is unadulterated. Don’t teach children how to “paint” anymore. Just provide them with sufficient creative space and inspiration for painting materials. This environment and inspiration material content I will talk about it later, interest is the best teacher.

If children still love it after the age of 6, then you need to find ways to focus on cultivating it. Of course, you can also "restrict them, don't give them a paintbrush, and don't give them a paintbrush." Provide an environment for your children to grow up according to the path you planned, and it's okay to be an ordinary person. "After all, to raise an excellent imaginative and creative child, you have to learn too much, pay a lot, and live too tiredly.
