Some preschool teachers and parents think that it is too early to carry out patriotic education because children are young, and even think that it is unnecessary to carry out patriotic education for young children. It is this wrong educational concept that makes adults lack educational awareness and enthusiasm. In the process of education, some preschool teachers only pay attention to the empty preaching and blunt indoctrination of knowledge and skills, and only seek to cope with teaching tasks, ignoring children's psychological and emotional experiences, which makes children puzzled and uninterested in patriotism education. Parents, on the other hand, tend to take an evasive attitude and avoid answering sensitive topics such as "Diaoyu Island" raised by children, or do not explain or respond. Over time, children lose interest in such issues.

How to carry out patriotism education in kindergartens

Second, the traditional patriotism education is out of touch with reality, which is difficult for children to understand

With the development of society and the change of international situation, the content of traditional patriotism education shows historical stages and limitations. Traditional stories such as Lei Feng, Huang Jiguang, Dong Cunrui, etc. must be combined with their historical background if children are to truly understand the educational significance of the stories, and many teachers are unable to do so. Therefore, many teachers give up the choice of these educational contents. Over time, the lack of patriotism education content has formed.

Third, the concept is abstract, and the teaching method is single, which affects the teaching effect.

For young children, "patriotism" is a very abstract concept, and patriotic education is more likely to be empty and unrealistic. As far as we educators are concerned, there are also many problems in itself. In the aspect of patriotism education for young children, kindergartens often have a single teaching method and monotonous content, and the educational effect often fails to reach the expected goal.

For the above-mentioned practical problems, the following solutions can be used:

First, we should establish a new concept to meet the needs of the times.

The purpose of deeply understanding the patriotism education in early childhood is not to cultivate children to produce concrete and feasible patriotic behaviors, but to cultivate children's awareness of society, hometown and motherland through various senses, to stimulate children's emotions towards society, hometown and motherland, and to enhance their inner experience. This kind of experience and emotion is the foundation and source of a person's patriotic behavior in the process of growth.

second, new educational materials in real life should be supplemented.

In our real life, many things have become very hot news topics for children from time to time: manned spacecraft going to the sky, China winning medals in the Olympic Games, protecting the Diaoyu Islands and so on. These are good examples of patriotic education, and children should learn to pay attention to what happens around them. It should be the need of the development of patriotism education to add the content of the new era that is rich in the characteristics of the times and easy for children to listen to and accept.

Third, carry out patriotic education in a diversified way.

To carry out patriotic education in kindergartens, we should pay special attention to following the psychological laws of preschool children, and adopt various educational methods and modern teaching methods such as situational, gamification, activity and networking, starting with the things that children are most familiar with and interested in, so that they can acquire knowledge about the motherland visually and concretely, and make them have a beautiful emotional experience.

fourth, the integration of educational resources, home education.

Take patriotic education as a key topic in parents' schools, and introduce the purpose, significance, methods and requirements of patriotic education to parents; Carry out home interaction and parents' open day activities, report on patriotism education in kindergartens, and synchronize home education. At the same time, as far as possible, we should make use of various social channels to cultivate children's patriotic consciousness, and even lead them out of kindergarten, into the community and into the society, so as to stimulate their true feelings of loving their hometown and motherland.

it is the sacred duty of every kindergarten teacher to carry out patriotic enlightenment education for young children. I believe that through our activities, children will become real "China people". Childhood is a critical period for the germination of patriotic feelings. Parents and teachers should sow seeds of "love" in their young hearts.
