How to develop children's innate life potential by absorbing mind and sensitive period!

? Class notes

2. Highlights of the lecture: Children have innate life potential and the ability to develop under the premise of love and freedom. Children are independent individuals and their learning methods are completely different from those of adults. They have the ability to build and develop themselves.

How does Montessori education develop children's innate life potential by absorbing mind and sensitive period?

Six months ago.

"If we say that Montessori developed a new continent like Columbus, it is not boasting. Columbus developed a new continent outside, and Montessori developed a new continent inside-a childlike innocence. This is indeed a great development. Just as the American continent was loyal to Columbus, it was this discovery that made her famous, not her method. "

First, the scientific nature of Montessori education

1. Montessori's educational philosophy has a very solid foundation. Montessori fully studied biology, embryology, psychology, anthropology and philosophy of life, and on this basis, he inherited the educational thoughts of Rousseau, a French enlightenment thinker, and Pestalozzi, a Swiss educator.

2. Montessori's educational idea does not come from the laboratory, but from observing and studying children's spontaneous behavior in the process of interacting with children, and discovering the laws and phenomena of children's life.

Second, the child's secret

1. Children have innate life potential and the ability to develop on the premise of love and freedom. Children are independent individuals and learn in a completely different way from adults. They have the ability of self-construction and self-development

2. Inherent life potential

1) Seeds have the potential of life and will blossom and bear fruit in suitable soil and sunshine.

2) Children, like seeds, have human life and the potential of human life. Like plants, they need a suitable growing environment, that is, an environment of love and freedom.

3) The environment of love and freedom refers to the instinctive love of adults for children, and:

(1) Respect, accept, have no requirements, and will not be changed by others.

(2) Give children freedom to develop and self-construct according to their own life rules and timetable, but this is a certain degree of freedom, and with the rules, they are free to do the right thing.

Third, absorptive thinking.

1. When the baby is born, the brain is not fully developed, and the mental state is almost zero, which needs to be formed from scratch.

2. Absorbing the mind and the sensitive period are two helpers for children's self-development and self-construction.

Children aged 0-6 have absorptive thinking;

(1) Learning style is like a sponge absorbing water, absorbing a lot of information from the surrounding environment and forming it in the mind.

(2) Be curious and passionate about the surrounding environment, people and things, observe the surrounding environment hungrily and explore the surrounding things spontaneously.

Like a camera, the image is clear and accurate.

Unconsciously absorbed at the age of 4 0-3, it is printed in the mind like photography, and the growth environment is very important; 3-6 years old consciously absorbed

The magical absorption ability enables children to absorb a lot of information.

Fourth, the sensitive period

1.0-6 years old children also have a sensitive period. The sensitive period is the easiest and easiest period to acquire a certain ability. Under the guidance of their unique internal potential, they show a high degree of interest, spontaneously do some specific actions, and concentrate on doing them repeatedly until they are completely satisfied. Once this trait is acquired and the goal is achieved, this special feeling will disappear and be replaced by another sensitive period.

Repeated experiences play a very important role in strengthening the connection between children's brains. Parents should prepare the corresponding environment for their children and give them enough time and opportunities to practice every activity at the beginning.

2. Sensitive period enables children to choose the most suitable things for self-development and self-construction in a complex environment, so as to improve themselves and discover themselves.

3. Six sensitive periods

1) Motion sensitive period

①0-3 years old is the key period of sports development, the development of big muscles.

(2) Complete the leap of growth within one year, such as turning over, sitting, climbing and standing.

③3-6 years old is mainly the development of small muscles, the exercise of finger muscles and the exercise of small muscles in daily life.

2) Order sensitive period

(1)1-3 years old, goods have a fixed position, a fixed time, and an orderly environment bring natural joy to children.

② Children know things through order and the relationship between things and the environment.

(3) Freedom needs order within a certain limit, and children's deviant behaviors should be corrected immediately.

3) Small sensitive period

(1) is interested in details, which adults tend to ignore.

The creator gave people a special period to discover and appreciate the mysteries of the universe.

4) Sensory sensitive period

(1) Understand the world with the help of the senses.

(2) In the process of application, the senses will be more acute and perfect.

5) Language sensitive period

① Spontaneous learning of mother tongue in a rich language environment.

② Absorb and accept local cultural traditions.

6) Social sensitive period

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Children work.

1. Children like to study and work and enjoy the process, which is more important than the result.

2. Children use the environment to improve themselves, and adults change the environment through work.

3. Children don't rush to finish their homework, repeat it over and over again and enjoy the process. Work is for growth.

4. The pace of life and work of adults is completely different from that of children, and adults pay more attention to the results of work.

All children's energy is reflected in their work, and their interest lies in the process itself.

6. It is better to travel hopefully than to reach your destination. In the eyes of children, the world is novel.

Adults should respect children's pace and don't rush them, because children's job is to enjoy the process.

Experience:

I think this lecture is really interesting. I was really moved by Montessori's educational philosophy and became more and more fascinated.

Through learning, I learned that children have innate life potential, like seeds, and are eager to absorb a lot of information and nutrition needed for brain development from the surrounding environment to complete self-development and self-construction. This is amazing. A child's absorbing mind is like a super power given to him by God, which allows him to absorb a large amount of information easily and accurately, with no effort and a pleasant process. I really envy this feature of children.

In addition, in the process of growing up, children absorb a lot of information like a sponge, and through various sensitive periods, they internalize this information into their own characteristics in turn, and complete the leap of growth again and again. It's really God's creation, and everything becomes beautiful at the right time!

I really lament the wonder and greatness of the creator. I saw that God created Adam and Eve in the Bible before, but today, I realize that God is still creating people, creating one unique child after another. Adults are not the creators of children. On the contrary, children are an inheritance given to adults by God and should be respected, especially when they are 0-6 years old. Adults should be helpers in the process of children's growth, not interveners. They should observe and study children's spontaneous behavior, respect children's own development laws, and make use of children's absorbing mind and various sensitive periods to help children develop their innate life potential.

Questions and answers:

1) What is innate life potential?

A: The innate life potential is like a seed. Watermelon seeds will grow into watermelons, and corn seeds will grow into corn. As long as there is suitable soil, sunshine and rain, it will surely blossom and bear fruit. Similarly, children are like seeds. Children have the potential of human life. As long as they have a suitable growth environment, that is, an environment of love and freedom, they will certainly grow up.

2) What is an absorption heart?

A: When the baby was born, his brain was not fully developed and his mental state was almost zero. It must be formed from scratch. Observation and research show that children aged 0-6 have absorptive thinking, and their learning style is completely different from that of adults. Just like a sponge absorbs water, it absorbs a lot of information from the surrounding environment and forms a mind. They are always curious and fond of the surrounding environment, people and things, eagerly observe the surrounding environment and spontaneously explore the surrounding things.

3) What is the sensitive period? How many sensitive periods do children aged 0-6 have? Give examples.

A: The sensitive period is that children, especially children aged 0-6, show high interest under the guidance of their unique internal potential, do some specific actions spontaneously, and concentrate on doing them repeatedly until they are completely satisfied. Once this trait is acquired and the goal is achieved, this special feeling will disappear and be replaced by another sensitive period.

Children aged 0-6 have six sensitive periods, namely:

1) sensitive period of exercise: for example, children around one year old repeatedly practice stepping and walking until they learn it.

2) Order sensitive period: For example, children in Christian families should pray before eating, even better than adults. If an adult forgets to pray, the child will remind the adult, otherwise the adult will not be kept crying.

3) Sensitive period of small things: For example, when reading a picture book to a child, the child can always easily find the details overlooked by adults, whether it is color or shape, and the child can always discover the new continent as before.

4) Sensory sensitive period: For example, children will be very focused on playing with sand and water, will be particularly curious about various colors, and will show their love.

5) Language sensitive period: For example, children start babbling at an early age and like to imitate adults.

6) Social sensitive period: For example, children are interested in making friends and like to play with children.

Small thesis: (more than 200 words)

From the sensitive period of absorbing the mind, why is 0-3 years old the most important stage of life?

Do you know the innate life potential of children?

Children have innate life potential. Just like seeds, as long as there is suitable environment such as soil, air, sunshine, rain and dew, they can always blossom and bear fruit. Although the brain is not fully developed when the child is born, the life potential of the child is highlighted after the child is born, especially at the age of 0-3. In this period, children have two characteristics endowed by nature, namely, the period of absorbing minds and the sensitive period.

Children aged 0-3 have the ability to absorb. When a child is born, he is full of great curiosity about everything in the world. Children aged 0-3 unconsciously and unconditionally absorb what they see and hear, just like a camera, and get clear and accurate, just as naturally and easily as a sponge absorbs water. Children have their own unique characteristics, that is, absorptive thinking. They can hear with their ears, see with their eyes, touch with their bodies and so on, and receive a lot of information from the external environment.

At the same time, children have a sensitive period, so that children can choose the most suitable one for their own development and development needs in a complex environment. For example, 0-3 years old is a sensitive period of sports and a critical period of sports development. Most children can crawl, walk, run and jump during this period. It is also a sensitive period of language development. Children can learn from their teeth, call their parents, speak simple sentences and speak their mother tongue fluently. During this period, even if parents don't teach their children, children will naturally acquire language skills through observation and imitation, thus adapting to the environment.

Usually, we think that talking and walking are important milestones in children's growth, which is indeed a great achievement for children. This is not only what we can see externally, but also the progress of children's brain development, because talking and walking are controlled by the brain. Therefore, 0-3 years old is an important stage of brain development. Some studies have said that this is also an important period for children's mental embryo development. Adults should observe children, follow the characteristics of children's development, and help children complete the process of self-development and self-improvement in various sensitive periods. Do not encourage or interfere.
